Hi all! I just started Femara on yesterday and will be takin it Cd 3-7. This is my first medicated cycle. I chose Femara over Clomid for various reasons. I'm a SMBC-to-be and excited to TTC my first baby. I will be getting an ultrasound and IUI, as well as incorporating the trigger shot.

Does anyone use OPKs and know whether they are still accurate, despite being on Femara? While I am hoping to use the trigger shot, if I start to surge naturally, I don't want to miss it. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I'm new to the group and excited to be here with all of you sharing your ttc journeys. DH and I have been trying to conceive for 8 yrs now with no success whatsoever. I started off using Clomid, then proceeded on to menopur injections, then IUI. All failed. Had a laparoscopy Feb. 2007, and there weren't any blockages or scarring, but my ovaries were swollen and were covered with cysts (I have pcos). After all of the frustration, we took some time off off ttc (actually, we weren't trying but weren't using bc either), and just started again last year. I am now using letrozole (Femara), and I'm 9dpo. Not really feeling anything besides some cramping, mild headaches, and once in awhile shooting pains in my hooha? Not really sure what all that means, if anything, but can't wait to test! Wishing you all lots and lots of babydust!

Lovely, I also used femara days 3-7, I O'd on CD16. After my period ended, I used an opk everyday up until it was positive. I did this because I never knew what day I ovulated or if I was ovulating at all...but femara makes you O so I tracked it. I hope you get your BFP soon!

 

[Lovelymo79]

I already ovulate on my own, just want to enhance ovulation a bit more and up the quality of my eggs. I tend to O CD 11-13 so I'll be starting to check on CD 8. I do have a trigger shot but I want to make sure I don surge naturally and not catch it. Thanks!!

Hi Lovely Mo!!! I am also on Femara 3-7. This is actually my second round of femara. I started off with 2.5 now I am taking 5mg. They were talking about injectibles, but I don't know if I am going to start them my next cycle or what. I am currently on CD28 which I'm not having any symptoms so IDT it will happen this cycle. I am scheduled for my lap on 1/16/14 so I am wishing for the best.


I totally love Femara more than Clomid. I had so many bad side effects with Clomid it was ridiculous!!!!

And actually Femara makes you ovulate sooner. W/O femara I ovulate around CD 21-22. With Femara I ovulate around CD15-17

Which is why I'm so trying to stay on top of any surge that may come earlier! I did hear that. And I was started on 5 mg too.

Hi ladies! I haven't posted in this thread for ages...but I have been trying to keep on everyone and reading...

Lovely, Gabrielle and Barbie - Best of luck to you all this cycle! I used Femara days 5-9 and got my very first BFP in 4 years on the 2nd cycle. I know I've heard that Femara worked for some ladies when Clomid did not, and vice versa. So FX'd for you!!!

I used OPK's while on Femara and they worked for me, I got a positive OPK that also was verified by my temping chart.

No AF yet? That just like the to stay away when you actually want her to come....lol

I haven't gotten mine back yet either...but would like to start trying again in the near future if possible. Will they give you Femara even if you haven't started AF yet? Can't wait to hear how your appointment goes
