Good luck, Chiles! I love the first half of the cycle...so much optimism.

This is totally random, but I just cried sitting at my desk at work (good tears). My mother-in-law sent me flowers. I talked to her on the phone last night about something else (yes, I talk to my mil on the phone once in a while), and it came out that we've been struggling TTC. The note of the flowers just said that she knew our worries would work out. I feel blessed to have such great family and in laws...especially when you read the horror stories on here about family. Reminds me how much I have to appreciate.

AAAWWWW.....I have great in-laws but this isnt something we are sharing, the sister in law is a fertile myrtle and I dont need her opinions on my useless reproductive organs, as helpful as im sure she thinks she would be. But i do have to tell you, my mom gave my cousin the what fors when she was complaining about being uncomforable and miserable because she is due in a few weeks!

Good for your mom! Gotta love mama bear...even when her children are grown. I guess I'm fortunate that my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are unmarried, and I don't think they'll be having children any time soon.

Luckily, my mom is super sympathetic. I don't share a whole lot (just opened up to her actually), but she struggled to conceive for about 13 years. They finally adopted my brother after trying for about 7 years and then had a 40-week stillborn baby 3 years after that (with a few early m/c along the way). She had me at age 37 with no assistance...I like to call myself a miracle. haha. She had done a ton of investigations (a lap did find a little endo), but was mostly unexplained (like us) the whole time. So she gets that infertility sucks!

My mom had several miscarriages and still births between my older brother and sister and then she had a total hysterectomy. Cut to 20 years later when she got me, I was a Foster Child and we kind of adopted each other. She is very sick now and has been asking me about grand children since the first time I uttered my hubs name.

I did once, a couple months ago. I had cramps mid-cycle for about a week, I kept expecting AF everytime I went to the RR but nothing. Weird. But no, I dont usualy get them until the day of or the day before AF

Hello ladies,

Cridge- our bodies are so weird. You had a perfect last cycle and maybe you are going to ovulate late this cycle. I am just wondering is it safe to take so much femara at one time ..sorry just confused. Good luck!

Mrs.C - Last night i had painful bbs and woke up with tons of cm. I think my body is gearing up to ovulate. Last cycle i ovulated on cd15 but it will be worth it even if i ovulate late right. Anyway, I am looking forward to the next cycle and hopefully she will up my dose to mg. I am also getting constant cramps. Since i had my OD my body is reacting differently or maybe I am not used to my body working right. Who knows!

Good luck girls...since we already have one bfp hope to see more on the way

Hi,
I take 4 Femara on CD3 works out at 10mg(or some other kinda measure). It is safe but can give major headaches. xx

Congrats Jam xx

Hi Shareena! I think it's safe. Femara has such a short half-life and I've read of some women being prescribed 12.5mg for 5 days in a row (you don't see it very often at all, but I've seen it. My doc even said we could go up that high). I knew the 10mg was completely out of my system before I took 2 more days of 12.5, so I'm not worried.

I'm actually starting to see some cf, so I have no regrets at all! I think it's helping me and I'm hoping to actually ovulate this cycle! We'll see...

 

[Chiles]

Hey ladies

Well I am on cd 5 sorry to confuse anyone....I confused myself lol. I started femara on cd 4 (oopps) and I am just going to continue my regimen until cd 12.

I am going to my little cousin baby shower tomorrow. It really don't bother me, except I wish it was me...Hopefully it soon will be. I have an u/s appointment this upcoming week and I hope I will get to trigger and IUI this cycle. I am praying this our month!!!!! Well GL ladies
