Femara Friends!

[TonyaG]

Welcome Jessica! Good luck to both of you
I have a scan in the morning, I'm hoping my follicles has grown from 1.2 (Wednesday) to 1.6 or more....probably wishful thinking

 

[karenh]

Yay! Welcome Jess! Good luck tomorrow tonya!

 

[TonyaG]

Okay 1 mature follicle at 1.6, next scan tomorrow

 

[karenh]

Okay 1 mature follicle at 1.6, next scan tomorrow

YAY! So glad it made it to the 1.6 mark. Hopefully it keeps growng and there is good news tomorrow.

 

[TonyaG]

Where is everyone else in your cycles?

 

[jessicajbrady]

I'm on CD16 and still no sign of ovulation I'm tracking my BBT and going it spikes tomorrow! This is my first cycle of femara

 

[TonyaG]

You have to monitor yourself? Good luck!

I test this weekend, but i am feeling pretty PMS'y so I am not hopeful. My ovulation response this time is awful. I get bloated, cramps and not to be to TMI but I guess my cervix gets lower or something because sex kinda hurts and it dampers the urge to try and get it on LOL. what can you do right.

 

[TonyaG]

MK-yes I know exactly what you mean, just even timing intercourse takes all the fun out of it!

My follicle was 1.8 today, so now we just wait for my bloods to show my natural surge and I will be triggering, and getting busy!

 

[karenh]

1.8 cm? I was always measured in mm. I thought you had a while to go. Jessica is just starting out in assisted reproduction. She is lucky where her ob is prescribing her Femara so she hasn't moved to IUI or anything. I am ready for AF to be gone!

 

[TonyaG]

1.8 = 18mm, this morning I was at 21 but no call for trigger so I guess I'm going 1 more day

 

[karenh]

Thanks! One more day? It will be nice and mature!

 

[TonyaG]

Today's the day! Triggering at 8pm, and it was 22 today

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Good luck, baby dust to you!!!!

 

[karenh]

Yay! Good luck Tonya!

Jessica, confirmed O?

 

[jessicajbrady]

Yep, supposedly I've ovulated. I'm not good at taking my temps at the same time every day so I don't know how accurate it is. But my temps are elevated and so now I just wait

Hi ladies!
I've been reading this thread off and on trying to see if femara was the right step for me.
A little about me.. Weve been TTC for about 16 months now and everything is normal with no luck
After 2 failed cycles of clomid and a looooonng 2 month wait hubby and I saw a RE only to get the "unexplained" conversation.
I started Femara 5mg cd3-7 and finished yesterday. Today I have a raging headache.
Thursday morning I go in for the follicle scan which I've never had before. Based on those results I'll be doing the Ovidrel trigger shot and lots of praying... then we get to do the good stuff

Do any of you have any advice or tips for the trigger shot? Is it ok to DTD before the appt?

Thanks ladies!

 

[TonyaG]

Welcome and good luck!
We were told no restrictions on Bd unless your husband has a low Sperm count.

I triggered on Thursday night and yesterday got the worse bladder infection, has anyone else experienced this?

 

[MnGmakes3]

Thank you Tonya.
The RE didn't say anything regarding it bit I figured it couldn't hurt.
Is this your first trigger cycle??

 

[TonyaG]

I took the trigger once while ttc#1, this is the first time ttc#2
I did 2.5mg Femera and trigger
