Why is it so much? With my insurance it is only like $3 bc it is also considered as a cancer drug. You should try your insurance

She lives on a small island in the caribbean so its probably much different than the states.

Hi - new here! I am on Femura but we call it Letrozole here ( Australia). I am currently on day 39. Waiting to see what happens. Not sure the length of my cycle or what is going on. This is my first round. I did have an ultrasound on day 13 that showed one large follicle. Doc said I would ovulate day 17.

Just need to talk to people who are going through what I am.

hi have you tested? I ovulated on CD16 on letrozole and the one time I was late was a BFP! good luck!

 

[Mummy of One]

Yes I have done a pregnancy test - negative.

 

[Grateful365]

Yes I have done a pregnancy test - negative.

What cycle day did you do the test?

 

[Grateful365]

All of you who are currently on Femara....when are you going to test?

 

[Blackbarbie04]

I am CD33 today, I tested on 30 and 33 BFN's on all. My surgery is tomorrow so hoping I find out more info then...

How long are your cycles normally? What surgery are you having?

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Between 32-33. I am having a laproscopic surgery to see if I have endometriosis tomorrow.

 

[TonyaG]

So I made the call to the fertility clinic. March 2014 we start on number 2. Hehe

I want to start trying in March for #2, but I'm one of the "lucky ones" who hasn't gotten their period back!

 

[Mummy of One]

Yes I have done a pregnancy test - negative.

What cycle day did you do the test?

Today - so day 39.

 

[Grateful365]

Barbie - Hoping you don't have endometriosis! But hope you find out about why the long cycle and BFN...

Tonya - ME TOO! No AF yet at 5 months PP and getting a bit anxious to TTC #2.

Mummy - Wonder what's up with the long cycle? Did you have a HSG test recently?

 

[TonyaG]

Grateful - I'm 6 months and I'm hoping now that have started solids I'll get it????
I'm planning on trying for 3 months and then going back to the fertility clinic.

 

[Grateful365]

I'm planning on trying for 3 months and then going back to the fertility clinic.

My baby boy just started solids too but I'm still pumping 3 times a day and breastfeeding twice (morning and night). Are you breastfeeding or pumping at all still?

So your going to try 3 months naturally after AF comes back? I know I've read that its possible to ovulate without getting AF...so I started temping hoping I might be able to tell if I am possibly ovulating yet. Getting antsy.

 

[TonyaG]

I still breastfeed. I don't want to try to soon because I don't want to have to go back to work early. I go back when he's 1, and you have to work 4 months full time to qualify for mat leave again. But Travis was 2 weeks early, so I want to give myself 6 months.
Although I conceived Travis naturally after having a miscarriage on Femera, I'm not holding my breath. But I will try because i know that being pregnant changes your body so I'm hoping I don't have to go back to the clinic!

 

[Grateful365]

Ohhhh I see you are so very lucky you get a year for maternity leave. Wow! I had 6 weeks and it was terribly hard to leave the baby that young.

 

[TonyaG]

I can not imagine leaving him so early.
In Canada we don't reproduce enough so they try to encourage us, we get a year off and we can claim Unemployment insurance the whole year, (my job tops me up to full pay for the first 6 months) and the government gives us $100 check every month for the first 6 or 7 years(not quite sure) to help with the cost of raising a baby!
We are definitely lucky.
