Femara Friends!

[MrsCompass]

Hi MK ... thank you for sharing your thoughts and this is why I love this site particularly, this thread. I absolutely agree. My husband tears up when I remind him that as long as I am with him, I am happy ... a baby is definitely an added bonus.

Well, I just messaged DH and reminded him about our "date" tonight and he replied back and said, "we should be 'dating' every night until see that spike on your chart!" I LOVE HIM!!! I'm going to try and not talk about it to him for the rest of the day and week and just let it flow ..

I will keep make up on and yes, perfume is good too and i'm going to get my hair did. LMAO!!!

Thanks MK and Cooch!!!

MrsC, sounds like you have an amazing hubby.....mine is the same. He constantly tells me he loves our life...I remain optimistic, but we have also had a conversation about adoption as well. I would love to give any child a safe,happy and loving home...but I guess we will cross that bridge when it comes to it I guess

So this time we decided to take a natural approach to assisted conception, i am lucky in the sense I am only on femara and metformin...no other treatments. Hmm am i rambling now LOL...sorry...hahah I hope my disclosure is helpful

It is difficult, but that is how im trying to look at it, Im only on fermara and metformin also. So far, I am responding. I have to find out about my progesterone levels tommorrow but im assuming they went up because my temps have gone up and stayed up. Now we just need time to make it work

 

[MrsCompass]

Did we hear back from Jam? I wonder if she got her BFP?????!!!!!!!

 

[cooch]

Good luck with it MrsC. My husband is constantly reminding me that we have agreat life. He does say the occasional thing that makes me think he is having a dig- but he's not, I'm just sensitive. Like when I asked what he wanted for his birthday he said 'you know what I want' (baby). That upset me. x

Well ladies I am BFN's all over the place! And feeling nothing at all, so I am 99.9% sure I am out this cycle.

I'm sorry...its so depressing to see the stark white on the test, isn't it? When do you expect AF?

 

[Chiles]

Hey Chilles - goodluck!!! Sounds like you have quite the combo of meds going. I have never heard of some them before. What are prednisone and flutamide for?

Fingerscrossed for u, girlie!!!

AFM, ladies ... I think Ovulation will be late. Still getting negative negative OPK (not that I trust them) BUT last night, as soon as I lay in bed, a ton of creamy CM came out (sorry tmi) that I had to get up again to change underwear. I have heard that creamy CM means the eggs are starting to ripen and ovulation is coming.

@MK - how are u doing? Are u on your TWW yet?

Prednisone-Steriod doc prescribed for my lining issue. What I read online is that it really helps with implantation.

Flumatide- anti-androgen to help bring down testoserone levels and even them out. Originally made for men with prostate cancer. My research states that it can cause birth defects if taken while pregnant. Just like femara. SCARY. It also prevents hair loss, and unwanted hair for women with pcos.This med do not suppose to be taken while ttc...My RE states it has a short half life and I will stop before ovulation.

I hate ttc...why can't it just happen already

 

[s08]

AFM, I had my IUI yesterday. It went smoothly, and for some idiotic reason, I feel positive about things this month. I'm trying not to, but can't help it. I feel good about the timing of the IUI and our BD (as opposed to last month when I thought it was all off). Plus, (and I'm embarrassed to even write this) I saw a rainbow on the way to the IUI, which are good luck, right? I'm losing it completely. Ugh.

Regarding doing the deed on command, and trying to keep it sexy, I have no advice. Luckily, my hubby is good sport about it. He's even great about driving through terrible morning traffic to the clinic yesterday (with only 3 hours of sleep because he works nights) to make a "deposit" for the IUI...what a trooper he is. Like you ladies have said, I need to appreciate him and our marriage more.

I expect the uglytomorrow or Saturday. I took my last Crinone last night and will not take it tonight. I heard it can delay AF which I don't want to do. Now I just want to move forward with this next cycle. We will do IUI this month so long as our file is in order (pray that the lab sent all of our results)

I am starting to get AF cramps a bit now, so I know she is coming!

I'm added thank you. MrsC and I are both same cd

 

[MrsCompass]

@siblingwishes - goodluck on your next cycle and hopefully AF doesn't take her stoooopid sweet time so you can start fresh.

@Cooch!!! Hey lady ... I noticed that too, but then I realized that your still ahead of me and Queen OV might be later than I expected.

@S08 - fingers crossed and goodluck to you and DH!

Well I hope everything went great! Do you know where your follies were at? How many and at what size?

 

[MKHewson]

I may asked to be cycled monitored again next month if I get a bfn, just to see. I am a little concerned not taking my proper dose of Met last week did not ehlp me out at all. hmmm I guess I should just wait and see.

 

[Chook]

Just dropping in to say hi and checking how you ladies are going. Good luck to you all and fingers crossed! We are taking a break from fermara this month and so far I haven't ovulated. Take care and hoping to see some bfp very soon xox

Thanks for the support.

No, I don't know my numbers this month. My RE only monitored me the first cycle on femara because I already ovulate well on my own every month and I reacted well to the femara. The first month on this med, I had the following numbers on CD 11 (about 2 days before ovulation):
Left side: 1 @ 22 mm, 2 @ 15 mm
Rigth side: 1 @ 13 mm and 1 @ 11 mm
Uterine lining: 8.3

I don't even do trigger shots; I just wait until I get a smiley on my OPK and then go in 24-36 hours later for the IUI. If we're unsuccessful again, maybe we'll be switching up the protocol.

Hi ladies,

I'm CD30 today,

I tested a couple of days ago, today is 14dpo and 15dptrigger and still no AF but started getting major cramps today and (sorry tmi) decided to put on a pad just in case. She still has not shown but I ran out of hpts so I won't be testing anymore. Currently just waiting for AF and then going on a 2 month break.
