Femara Friends!

[Shareena]

welcome sugarpuff,

I hope femara is still your miracle drug Good luck.

I am so sorry about the BFN Lola . Maybe this is your cycle.

Chiles- I hope this cycle and plan will work for you. I feel the same with taking the meds. I want my BFP and be off these crazy pills.

Mrs.C - Sorry I don't know much about reading charts because I don't temp myself. Since I usually get monitored at the clinic i just stick to that.

There are alot of us close in our cycles.

Cridge, I am happy letrozole is already showing good signs. I was only on 2.5mg for five days so extremely low dose and it gave headaches. I am just glad you are taking it well.

AFM:I am having cramps for the last couple of days :S. I don't know what's going on. Anyways, just looking forward to my appt with FS tomorrow for the next plan. You know it's funny that I look at the cycle day list to figure out what day i am on. Thank you for updating Sibling and Mrs.C.

Can I ask you ladies an un-femara related question? I am 4 dpiui and 3 or 4 dpo and have a horrible cold. What are your thoughts of taking DayQuil or other cold meds during the tww? Should I maybe just get some tylenon since its safe during pregnancy? Thoughts?

I was told after ovulation only take drugs that are safe for pregnancy soooo I would say tylenol.

No worries-I had been hopeful but I dont feel too upset about it, surprisingly. Im surprised I didnt get a headache from the medication. I get headaches very easily, at least, I used to when I was on BCP, which i think was a big part of my problem. Im back to work tomorrow,which also means that I am back to Masters classes, so you ladies have a lovely week.

Hi all,
Can i join you ladies? This is my first cycle on letrozole and so far its worked wonders for me!! Im on CD 24 and im testing in a few days. REALLY nervous since all i've been getting for almost the past two years is negatives!! im also on progesterone which i hate. It makes me nauseous and cranky and makes my bbs hurt/tingle. Anyone else on letrozole/progesterone and had success? Thanks for listening!

Welcome!Im on letrozole and metformin. I have had some side effects, but nothing too serious, unless you count the Metformin dance ! We have already had a BFP on a first cycle of letrozole so maybe you will be the next!

Lola - are you starting Femara today? Do you do CD 3-7?

 

[MKHewson]

So weird its, day 21, and I am having an increase in CM. Just noticed it, I wonder if i am OV later then normal. I think I may have to get back in the cycle monitoring game. Or perhaps this is because of me slacking on my metformin on holidays.

 

[MrsCompass]

OMG!!!! MK I'm in the same boat. I hate not being monitored and not knowing what's going on inside my body. I went in this morning for my bloodwork (to check progersterone) and you should have heard me question my Nurse!!!

Anyway - she will confirm with me today, if I ovulated or not. Apparently, my blood work will confirm.

LOL I guess I will have to go home and get busy with the hubby, not that i mind at all LOL. But fawk, you just get comfortable with a cycle and your body throws you a wrench. FFS LOL.
How was your weekend Mrs.C

 

[MrsCompass]

Thanks for asking ... weekend was wonderful. Our winter is great, ain't it? Believe it or not, I was cleaning my backyard and of course DH and I got busy ... and this time, it wasn't me pushing for it, so that was a good change. LOL!

Yesterday, I'm assuming I was 1DPO ... I had white/milky, stretchy CM ... not abundant but enough to notice. What does that CM mean? Do you know?

 

[siblingwishes]

MK and Trina - you are both having late O days by the sounds of it...
MK - what dose of Femara do you take?
Trina - you are at 2.5, right?

I will be starting 5mg tomorrow, and my Metformin just increased to 1500 mg /day last week.

 

[MrsCompass]

Thanks Siblingwishes. Yes, I am taking 2.5mg from CD#3-7. I'm going to ask about upping my dosage.

Goodluck this cycle and goodluck with 1500mg of metformin. I think I have to start at 1000mg a day again and slowly go up to 1500mg after 2 weeks. I hate metformin!!!!!! LOL!

I'm waiting for my clinic to call me and advise my bloodwork's result from this morning. They should call in the next hour or two. I need some pills to give me patience! It feels like I'm taking something for anything and everything but not for my impatience.

I am on 7.5mg days 4-8, and I am getting the OV cramps as well now...hmmm I have to get some lovin in tonight

I was told the creamy CM means OV is around the corner....lol.

 

[MKHewson]

Oh am on 1500 of Metformin, Hey Mrs C I found if i ate a small portion meal and lots of water the transition to 1500mg was not too bad

Yeah, me too - I feel a bit nauseous sometimes in the morning if I don't eat quick enough, but other than that it wasn't too bad. I take it with meals usually.

Do either of you take DHEA?
