Femara Friends!

Hi Ladies, I haven't read through all the posts yet, but I was wondering if one of you could tell me its possible for Femara to thin your uterus lining? This is my first cycle on it(took form cd3-7) and I went for a u/s yesterday(cd11) and I had a lining of 5.1mm. The fs put me Progynova 2mg(estrogen) 1/day. I'm stressing about this and google says it helps some women's lining get thicker and for some, it does nothing! Any info on this? Thanks ladies P.S. I plan to read though the posts later!

When I was on clomid it thinned my lining straight away but I had no such trouble on femara and got BFP on my 6th round

 

[wildchic]

Congrats Laurabe I suppose my lining was thin all along! Maybe that's why we weren't able to conceive? Who knows!

Clomid thinned my lining, but Femara is not suppose to thin your lining. I could tell a difference when my cycle came when I started Femara. I got my bfp on my 3rd or 4th round b/c I actually took a break after the 2nd round...

I don't have my lining checked. But I will say my period was heavier with clots and "peices" while on Femara so I'm guessing my lining was thicker than when I was on Clomid (very light period)

 

[wildchic]

The thing is, I've always had light period! Even when my dd was conceived. This was the first time ever my ling was checked, so I'm not really sure if its always been like that. I was on clomid a year back and my period was still constant. Idk what to think!

Quick question, Femara vets... Did anyone O really early on femara? My body seems to have O'd on CD 9 or be gearing up for it now... I can't really tell. Any successful pregnancies from Oing this early? This is my first cycle on femara, TTC since December '12 with pcos and a loss in September. I'm also on Metformin.

First two times I ovulated really early on Femara being on 2.5 mg. I skipped a cycle then I went to 5 mg on my 3rd medicated cycle and ovulated on CD 23-24. Got my BFP then... If your eggies are mature enough it could work, but if they are not mature from ovulating early IDK... they have to be mature in order to be fertilized...

I'm on 5 mg of Femara, I am still not sure if I o'd yet, so hopefully my opks were just giving me LOTS of early warning... Had a negative opk CDs 8 and 9, then positive yesterday with Ewcm on CD 10. My temps were up a little, which is why I was concerned.

 

[Blackbarbie04]

If you had a + on yesterday you may ovulate today or tomorrow. I got my + opk on CD 20 and didn't actually get my temp shift to verify ovulation until CD 23-24. They say anywhere from 12-36 hours and mine was almost 3-4 days later. The temp shift was so accurate b/c it was a deep dip then an enormous rise... After that 7dpo got my bfp. a dip right before the rise on the day of my bfp. It was very light tho, I could have missed it if I wasn't looking hard enough!!!

I had a iui cancelled because I ovulated day 9. Every cycle was different for me on Femara. I would ovulate anywhere from cd 9 to cd 18. Hope you catch that egg hun xox

Let me correct myself....

With my 5 yr old son I started my cycle on 12/3/07... I got pregnant with him on 12/24/07-12/25/07 it kind of rolled over into the next day... I know for sure b/c I was only with his dad once that month. Anyway so I got pregnant on CD 21 in which I probably ovulated on CD19-20...

This pregnancy I started my cycle on 1/16/07 and ovulated somewhere around CD 21-22 which was on 2/3/14-2/5/14 so with both i ovulated around CD 21-24.... Sorry for the extra days. Anyway I ovulated later in my cycle than I did in ALL of my other cycles in which I ovulated around 12-17 with Clomid... On my first round of Femara I ovulated on CD 13.

Sorry I had to clear that up. I was sitting here thinking about it. But, the weird thing about this cycle is that I didn't BD at all, I used cups and preseed b/c I was too sore from ovulating and I was hurting!!!! So, that was a blessing and it actually worked with prayer, a pillow, preseed and cups!!!!!!!! Oh yeah and Femara!!!!!!!!!

 

[J_Lynn]

I ovulated on CD10 with femara.

 

[Lynniepooh]

I've had all neg opks since cd8. I'm currently cd 18 and still neg just now. I'm crampy thou. I temp so I'm not relying in opks. Hope my temp goes up

 

[CallMeAL1982]

jlynn, is that the cycle you got your BFP?

Looks like I O'd yesterday on CD 11. Hope it wasn't too soon!

 

[Lynniepooh]

Cd 20 still no O ��

 

[wantabby]

I O'd CD 19 my first round and CD25 this round

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Lynniepooh don't given up, I had a late ovulation cycle and got a BFP that same cycle.

 

[MKHewson]

When is that baby due chook, must be close now?

Hi everyone!

Well, I'm coming here for moral and sanity support. Here's a small snapshot of my lengthy IF saga

Took 4.5yrs to fall pg (naturally) with DS. He's now 5
Fell naturally pg March 2013, but lost baby at 9wks (bad eggie)
D&C April 2013
HSG March 2014 and all is clear, but I am at advanced maternal age. My ovaries are shutting down

Essentially our RE told us IVF would be a waste of money. He placated me with a 5mg dose of Femara this cycle and sent us on our way. DH is fine. Naturally we are devastated that I don't have many cycles left and our RE pretty much said "so sorry, nothing I can do for you guys", but we are holding out hope that we can fall naturally pg again. I'm 39. We've been together 20 yrs. The news came harshly, but not falling pg more often in 20 yrs always hinted that my egg factory wasn't that great.

Anyhow, I'm currently sitting at cd24. Which happens to coincide EXACTLY with the day I was last year when I fell pg. Could this be our rainbow baby? with the exact EDD that we had last year? If God wants it, then it will be. I'm just sitting here waiting for enough DPO's to come and go before I POAS , if the witch doesn't show her face first.

EPS: bloating, skin break out, heartburn, moody
Could be something, could be nothing. I read femara doesn't stay in the system as long as clomid does so I dont think its from that. We'll see.
Pray for me ladies. Its a very emotional month even without this lining up.
Not sure when to test. Maybe in a few days??? Thoughts?
