Femara Friends!

Hey guy! I am back. Adoption isn't going like we would have liked, because of job issues. I am thinking about trying Femara again. Those of you that know me know I was on 7.5 mg and I never got more than 2 eggs, but I actually ovulated. However, I was under the care of a RE and the unnecessary IUIs. If I can get the pills without a prescription do you guys think it is ok if I do it on my own with ovulation kits and timed intercourse?

Could you be monitored fo r one cycle to make sure? im back trying for number two and I am taking the same protocol as before I am being monitored for one more cycle then I am doing the same thing going at it on my own. Sorry that adoption had not moved along for you and your hubby as hoped. I hope all is well with you otherwise.

No, we can't afford that much money for a gamble. We already did 5 monitored cycles. I am not sure what one more would do. I appreciate the suggestion though.

Karen, the scary thing about that is if you have a cyst (and don't know because you don't have an ultrasound), the femara could make the cyst grow. It sounds dangerous to use any fertility drug without being under the care of a Dr.

When I was on Femara, I never had one ultrasound. The most that happened was a blood draw to see if I had actually ovulated or not.

That is how it was when I was on Clomid. My gyno did that. I wanted him to do the Femara the same way, but he doesn't ever prescribe femara.

Can you switch doctors? Maybe a different one would be more agreeable?

well I think go for for it Karen, I know there are far less likely chances to have multiplies with femara. If you can get it. why not right

Karen on my Clomid and Femara cycle I just had Progesterone Blood levels drawn and I never ever had a ultrasound, the only time I had my ultrasound was when the specialists from Dallas came down to our office and he wanted to check for PCOS which I already knew I had. But, other than that. I just had blood drawn on CD 21 and results on CD 28...

No news here, I'm on cd11. Today is day 2 of not breast feeding Travis so I'm going to try and go back on Femera too.

I'm excited for you!

Hi all my femara friends. I posted a few weeks back as this was my first month on femara after ttc for over 3 years but have been MIA from the board as i tried to keep my mind off ttc for a bit. Well just an update, I took femara earlier this month and we had timed intercourse (no trigger) got a positive on opk August 3 and now I am in the 2ww. Last cycle start was July 19th and so far no AF. Praying she doesn't show and I get my bfp this month. If she doesn't show tonight I will take a hpt in the morning. Please keep me in your prayers .
