Chook I am so glad you little one is hanging in there! Nothing new to report here. Still looking for a job and a baby to adopt. I have been wishing we could ttc with femara again. I wish I could just take it for six months without monitoring and IUI and just see what happens.

Why do you have to have monitoring if you choose not to do iui? Can't you just take the Femara?

I was wondering the same thing.. I did but obviously that didn't work for me LOL

my doctor said legally they have to monitor me. It is against the law not to. So frustrating, and I don't even think it is true.

I was monitored the first month then not again but it didn't work for me

Sorry but he is feeding you a line of BS! Femara was originally a cancer drug then they realized that it was causing people to O. There is no reason the jerk shouldnt give it to you.

My OB gave it to me without being monitored. I don't think it is illegal per say...but it probably just depends on the doctor and how comfortable they feel about the drug. Some maybe have a more strict ethical protocol than others.

The drug when used for fertility is supposed to only be given while under the treatment of a doctor, but not all doctors are as "by the book" as others. My doctor will never just give it to me and hope for the best. Only because drugs that mess with your hormones and ovary production when not monitored can cause harm and if you're not be monitored, there is no way to know immediately. My doctor had me in for ultrasounds to make sure my ovaries were producing follicles and not doing anything it shouldn't be doing. Anything that messes with my ovaries, I want to make sure my doctor is checking everything because without them....then I really don't have any options - IVF is too expensive for us!!

It didn't work for me, but I wasn't monitored short of getting bloodwork done to see if I o'd or not.

 

[laurabe]

When i was first prescribed it I was told i would be monitored then I receieved a letter saying they no longer were required to monitor and I was just to continue on the prescription on its own.

 

[J_Lynn]

That's horrible for them to not monitor it; if I hadn't been monitored it would have never worked because I needed the ultrasounds to see if I was even forming any viable follicles and then I needed a times trigger shot for my egg to release. Had I not been monitored, I would have never knows the trigger shot was needed and my follicle would have just shriveled up and gone away :/ And it would have been marked down eventually as simply "unknown" reasons.

We put so much effort into getting pregnant, the doctors should really ensure they're doing all they can to make sure it happens. I don't understand why some doctors are so lazy and don't want to help make our dreams come true; it's not like we are asking them for anything they aren't going to make money doing - so I don't see why they don't just do it and make sure they're providing the best possible care with these treatments...fertility drugs need doctors who care to go along with them.

Some doctors....ugh. I dealt with lazy asshole doctors from 16-26. I swear if I ever have to do it again, I will give them a piece of my mind!!

 

[laurabe]

In my case I ovulated on Clomid they checked my progesterone on my first round of letrozole and it was all fine so maybe that's why. Dunno about anyone else

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Same with me. I get my levels checked
