Clomid to Femara with iui support

[waitingongod1]

No testing Here. 2 1/2 years of negatives I don't do them anymore I just watch Temps and on Friday Feb 13 specialist will run a test when I see him. If positive great if negative we will make our plan for next month!

What about you girls?

 

[sugargully]

Yes, my follicles came from famera and menapur. IUI want well today. The speculum was the most uncomfortable part. I've had a full feeling on my ovaries. Not bad at all but slows me down a bit.

I've decided to test everyday with cheapies and watch the color progression on the cheapies. The I'll keep them in a memory book. Come on TWW! Can't wait to see if this was successful.

Great news Glad it went well!

Hello ladies. How are you feeling? I hope everyone is doing well.

I have been testing out my trigger and this morning it was almost gone. Hopefully tomorrow it will be gone and then come back in the next couple days.

So I have a confession... I have been so pessimistic about this cycle. I almost cancelled my ultrasound because I didn't feel like the femara worked. Dh convinced me that I should go anyway especially since I just had surgery. She only told me about one follicule again fell pessimistic. I now want to give up on testing because I don't believe I am pregnant at all. I hate to be negative but what makes this cycle different from all the rest. Idk.

 

[waitingongod1]

I agree! I feel like everyone around me is more excited. I think really I just don't want to be disappointed again. ..
Are you still testing?

I'm on CD2, about to start Femara tomorrow, with ultrasound and hopefully trigger on CD12.
Would love to follow along with similar stories!

Minuet - I believe I will be a week behind you. I will take my last progesterone thursday night. I am trying to make it so cd 1 is tuesday. I have an appt with fertility specialist monday so if they take us on this month I can start fresh otherwise I can go back to clomid since I only have 1 fallopian tube I need more follicules so I get some on my right side. Otherwise I may only ovulate from left and then cycle would be cancelled.

 

[waitingongod1]

Welcome. I am waiting to test on Friday morning at doc office. Probably will join you guys next week with cd1 for our #2!

Hey ladies ,

Do you mind if I join? I am currently cd12. I was on Clomid for 4 months. During those 4 months I was able to do 2 IUIs. This is my first month on Femara/Letrozole 5mg days 3-7. I have an u/s today so fx it goes well. DH and I have been trying for our 2nd since June 2013. DH has good count low motility. HSG January 2014 showed both tubes are open. I normally ovulate on my own but my OB wants to stimulate my cycles with IUI to better our chances. This will be our last IUI before being referred to a RE.

Oh are you switching doctors? A fresh approach is always a good thing. And its great that you can start a new cycle at the same time so no more waiting.

I have been seeing my obgyn for iui, so now I will be going to a fertility specialist. Same location and office as where my dh sperm is processed. I am nervous for our appt hoping I can remember everything.

Went for the u/s yesterday cd12 and had two follies on my left (26, 18) and five on my right (23, 20, 15, 13, 11). My lining was 5.4mm but they told me to go ahead with the trigger shot and we did the IUI today. I asked if that seemed thin and she said it was fine. All sites that I've read stated >8. What do you ladies think?

I was always told it needed to be 8 or >8. Holy moly on number of follicules. What dose of femara?

Holy cow did you respond to Femara or what! That is a lot of follicles! All I've read is 8+ as well, but I'm sure there are always exceptions to the story and I pray you are one of them!
Hon, if it doesn't work this month I hope your doctor tries 2.5mg Femara so you don't get such a high response/high risk of multiples!

5 mg Femara
