Femara Friends!

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

We have looked into adoption but unless they start giving babies away for free at the Walmart, its not looking like an option for us. We have also looked into fostering. We shall see what happens. Perhaps this summer we will get our names out there!

We are looking into adoption as well, we still want our own. But one more month of ttc and then we are going on a LONG break. We have orientation on the 23rd ir 25th for adoption. I want a girl under 8 years old.

Don't get me wrong, I still want my own. And our social worker said that we can go head and start the process and we will already have that out the way when we are ready. The adoption process is long enough. So why not start early. We are adopting through our state. And whether we have kids or not. I still want to adopt.

Thanks MK!! He truly is amazing ... But I think any man who is going through this with us and are supportive of us are very one of a kind. Imagine having to put up with our hormones month after months?! Lol! Cheers to our significant other.

I always wanted to foster and/or adopt. I dont think we have a state adoption agency here, at least, I havent found one. I would be happy either way, I just so wanted my husband to have a child of his own, he doesnt care either way.

You are welcome.

So, ladies ... we were a success with last night (sorry if TMI). DH had a frustrating day at work and needed a glass of wine and an extra glass for that little umph. And I guess, he needed to release frustration.

 

[MKHewson]

LOL DH and I gave her one more go for the cycle...lol. So I am taking today as the beginning of my 2ww. I am reading the third book of the hunger games, and I was up so late LOL. Now I am so sleepy I am going to my best buds house tonight to hang out and relax.

Hi All, can I join? I am on CD3 today and just started my 2nd cycle with Femara (this one will be coupled with an IUI). I was going to go unmedicated this cycle, but chose against it!

I have a quick question - I think the Femara gave me a small cyst on my left side. I am not in pain, but its a bit uncomfortable. Will this 2nd cycle make it go away? When I went in for my follie check last cycle, I had 3 strong follies (2 on my left side, one on my right) and the nurse was certain I would release from my left side. I should also point out that its just a bit uncomfortable sometimes, not like consistent.

Thoughts?

 

[MrsCompass]

Hi JChic! Welcome

This cycle is also my second cycle on femara, so, I'm a newbie in the femara world. I'm sorry I can't help with the cyst. But I'm sure one of the ladies here can help.

I'm interested in following your cycle with the femara and IUI. I might do femara+hcg trigger shot+IUI next cycle if I'm not successful in this one.

Are you being monitored? Do you know how many follies you are starting with?

 

[jchic]

Hi Mrs

I go in for a follie u/s anywhere between cd10-12. This cycle, I have to go in on cd9 due to some scheduling conflicts. Last cycle I had 3 follies on CD10 (2.0, 1.9 and 1.7) and I ovulated on CD16.
I am nervous for my first IUI. I never realized it had to be timed so perfectly! Talk about stress.
I heard that cysts are pretty common and they usually go away on their own, so heres hoping!

Yes, I've heard!!! One of the ladies here (Shareena) did IUI as well. When I'm ready, I'm going to be picking both of your brains regarding timing. Lol! I have an appointment with our Doctor next Monday (16th of Jan) to discuss IUI. Let's see what she says.

Have you discussed your timing/schedule? How is it going to be?

 

[jchic]

I was told by my doc to call when I get a +opk and come in the next AM. So DH and I are going to BD every day until I get that +opk - then skip that day and the next am is the IUI. Then we will BD again for insurance

I use the CBFM as well, so I will use the OPKS to confirm what bbt and cbfm tell me I hope it does the trick!

My schedule looks like this:
Femara 5 mg CD 3-7
Follie Scan CD 11
Trigger with Ovidrel if follies are big enough (say Night of CD12)
IUI morning of CD14
Start Crinone night of CD14

It all depends on what size your follies are at...but the IUI is usually 36 hrs post trigger.

 

[jchic]

Sibling, looks like you have it totally on point!

This is my schedule:

Femara 2.5 CD3-5
Follie Scan CD9
IUI AM after +OPK

I am supposed to do Femara CD3-7 but I think I have a cyst on my left side, so when i called doc they said to stop after CD5 and they will see everything on CD9 at the scan.

 

[s08]

I was told by my doc to call when I get a +opk and come in the next AM. So DH and I are going to BD every day until I get that +opk - then skip that day and the next am is the IUI. Then we will BD again for insurance

I use the CBFM as well, so I will use the OPKS to confirm what bbt and cbfm tell me I hope it does the trick!

That is my protocol as well! I just had my second IUI on Wednesday (3rd month on Femara). I went in the morning after my positive OPK. We also did the same thing as you regarding BD. My DH's numbers were about the same when we abstained 1.5 days before the IUI this month as compared to when we abstained 2.5 days last month, so I felt better about the 1.5 day plan.

I see in your ticker you have been TTC since August 2011. Do you mind me asking why you're already turning to IUI?

And by the way, its such a simple procedure. Good luck this month!!!

 

[jchic]

Hi S08! Both DH and I checked out completely fine, but my thyroid seemed to be the issue (which I am on meds for now). We were NTNP for 2 months prior to that, so my obgyn suggested that IUI would give us a "head start".
