Femara Friends!

[karenh]

Thank You Galen!! We are naming him Corbin Grant Soooo excited to meet this sweet (stubborn) boy!

That is so cute! What is he doing already that you know he is stubborn?

 

[karenh]

Babybemine: I am so sorry that it sounds like an ectopic. It sounds like what happened with my ectopic. It isn’t wrong to hope they find a viable pregnancy. My DR and I still were at 8 weeks. They did an ultrasound just to make sure. After my numbers went down they started going up quickly. I did have the methotrexate shot. I am so sorry you have to go through this.

J_Lynn: You only took Femara for 3 days? Interesting. What was your dose? Good luck at your follicle check next week.

Lola: Did they say how long it would take for the adoption to finalize?

Praying4bump: You are supposed to take 10 tab of Femara on one day? I have never heard of that. I have always taken it for five days. So that does would be 2 a day. Weird. Good luck!

AFM: My IUI didn't go that great. DH's sperm is usually 50 mill and up after wash. Today 9 mill before wash and 4 after. You could tell by the Dr voice and what not that he doesn't think this will work. I silently cried on the table while waiting my required ten minutes. I just feel as though this cycle has been nothing but one disappointment after another. It is our last one to so I am just devastated. It is in God's hands now. Sorry I have been such a downer this month.

Yeah, I only take 2.5mg. I only took clomid for 3 days also with the highest dose being 50mg as well. I ovulate on clomid but I guess it isn't a strong ovulation - so he is thinking femara will be better. We will try femara for 6-8 months then re-evaluate options at that point if I'm not pregnant by then.

Good luck, I hope this works for you.

Big, big hugs, Karen. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

[Prayerful]

J_Lynn - Femara is definitely much better in terms of side effects. I hope it works for you!!

Praying - I have never heard of taking all 10 tabs of Femara at once. Hopefully someone else on here will have some answers for you!

Karen - I am so sorry to hear the IUI didn't go well. There is still hope until AF arrives though. And I agree with Lotus, there are still options. Whatever happens and whatever you decide, I wish only the best for you.

Kinsey - What a cute name!

Ladies! Can I joint this thread? I just started femara after becoming clomid resistant, havent ovulated since we started ttc. Finished my first dose of femara yesterday. If this doesnt work I have an appointment with the FS on the 15 July.

Hi ladies! This is my first cycle on Femara, I'm a little late to the thread as I'm current;y 3/4 dpo. My cycle so far: I took 2.5 mg on cd 3-7 and the scan on cd 9 showed lots of small follies but nothing mature so my RE had me take 5 mg cd9-13 and scan on day 16 showed one 19 mm follie, that was last thurs, so I triggered with Ovidrel on Fri night and we were supposed to BD fri-tues but due to extenuating circumstances we only BD'd on Fri, sat and monday after noon. We tried on Sun evening for like 1.5 hours but my husband just couldn't "find his release" I think the pressure was really getting to him and last night we we both feeling like crap. I think I O'd sun morn, not sure, so I'm hoping that either the spermies hung around from sat night or the egg hung around till monday! My RE told me not to test till the 16th, but aren't most trigger shots out by 10 days? I just feel like 17 days is way conservative.

 

[sugarpi24]

Some trigger shots hang around for up to 14 days I believe...he probably just wants to wait a little longer for you to test to be safe...but its really up to you some ppl test their trigger shots out....that way they know how long it takes for it to be gone.

 

[~Brandy~]

17 is super conservative

 

[J_Lynn]

They decrease at 50% per day - so by day 12 it should be gone. My dr said not to test until after day 12 because it will take all of that time to be out of your body. So, I would say day 14 .... that's what I do anyway lol And I've always gotten BFN so I know it's out of my system by then. I've never even had a fake BFP lol

 

[pbl_ge]

If you have the cheap HPTs from the internet, some women test to see the trigger fade out. Then take a day or two off, and you can be sure any subsequent test is the real deal.

Good luck!


Btw, lots of people on this thread with a lot going on. Struggling to find a foot hold. Sorry!

Feel better!

 

[Galen]

Welcome I believe and navy wife!! Good luck to both of you!!

Karen, feel better soon!

AFM- Just tapping my toes and waiting out the slowest tww ever...

 

[J_Lynn]

Oh man, my CM is changing as of today and it's stretchy a bit ... This may be a good sign, the femara may really help!! Normally with clomid I get a very, very small amount of sorta stretchy cm and that's with the help of mucenex, b6, and the steroid ... But I am just taking my daily steroid and this is happening - I'm on cd9, so I guess it could be around the time cm should start changing. I go in for my ultrasound tomorrow and I am so excited! I hope I have big fat follicles that are just waiting to burst!!

I'm on CD 9 too! CM just started changing today also. I'm basically on the same protocol as you, minus the steroid, and plus trigger and progesterone.

I am totally on progesterone also! I don't think I'll do the trigger this month, but usually I have it - I am going to do without it this month and see what happens That's so cool! I'm glad I'm not the only one! Woohoo!! Here's for super positive baby dusting BFP vibes!!!

 

[Kwaggy]

I cant believe Femera worked for me! After 36 cycles of actively TTC and 8 cycles with clomid and no ovulation, I doubted that femera would work. When I went in for my day 12 scan I was shocked to see that I ovulated! I never thought I would get pregnant my very first cycle, Had I know I would have tried it 2 years ago! Good Luck to all of you still trying, Your BFP is right around the corner!

 

[karenh]

I am so glad the Femara is working for you girls! Good luck with your scans and catching that egg!

 

[J_Lynn]

I have my ultrasound in 1.5 hours - I can't wait to see if it's working. I am hoping I have a solid growing follicle. Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed!!!

 

[babybemine]

Numbers went up to 440. Doc still recommending methotrexate. Go to see him again tomorrow for another scan and consult/
