Femara Friends!

[ZKinsey]

I think everyone's side effects are different with Metformin. I took it for 3 months (2000mg) and LITERALLY every single thing I put in my mouth went right through me, I had constant diarrhea the entire 3 months (TMI....sorry!) But my friend is on it now and has been for a few weeks and hasn't had any problems at all. I guess the only way to find out how it will affect you is to take it!

I was like that for a couple weeks - it was MISERABLE. It finally stopped, but man I thought I was going to die. It was bad!

I'm feeling quite excited!! My Doctor prescribed me Femara and I just got a call and it's in at the pharmacy. I don't think I have ever been this excited for to come. Just one more week to wait.

Cd1 today start femera again next month! This sucks I don't know why this isn't happening.

Hi All, just got AF today so I will be starting Femara for the first time on Wednesday...does it generally alter your O date? mine isn't too reliable anyway but has been CD19-23 last 3 months...glad to see some recent successes in the thread

 

[karenh]

yes it can alter your O date. OPK are generaly recomended.

 

[sugarpi24]

well doctor called me today and said that since we have done 7 cycles of femera and nothing has happened he wants to do a consult before going any further. so i dont know if that means hes given up and wants me to lose weight before going further...or if hes going to discuss our options or what. im super upset right now....i just want to continue on with the femera to regulate my cycles and hopefully a surprise BFP! so we will see what he says monday.

 

[PDubs10612]

Thanks Karen...I will definitely be using the OPKS

Good luck! I am guessing you are not having monitored cycles? We couldn't justify paying for more rounds with no results because our RE refuses to do unmonitored cycles. He said it is against the law, which is rediculous. I know a lot of doctors who prescribe it with out monitoring.

Also, my DR never said I need to loose weight to move onto other treatments, and I am really over weight. He may have more options before IVF. I hope he is able to help you conceive and that you find some hope and comfort.

My o date was normally cd 18-20 with Femara cd 14 exactly. So don't let your guard down it could be very early.

 

[PDubs10612]

Thanks Brandy, I have also read that you can get an early LH surge that is related to the Femara and not your actual ovulation and to wait a few days after the last pill before starting OPKs...I usually don't start the OPKs until CD10 anyway ...FX

Yes I didn't start testing till cd 10 or 11 per docs orders.

 

[LolaM]

On femara I was cd14 like clockwork and now I usually O between cd 12 and 14 but what ever day I O, 13 days later AF arrives. Text book dr calls me. Minus a preg of course

yeah my doctor has been doing u/s and blood tests through out the 7 months. and im ovulating and my hubby is fine but still no BFP i really hope he doesnt say the only thing left to do is IVF because we ABSOLUTLY cannot afford that for awhile!
