Femara Friends!

Baby dust to you!!


We decided to forgo the IUI as Im not there just yet.
I'm hoping the TI works for us but who knows anymore. It's been a long road so far and I'm not getting my hopes up.

Hi there. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 34 years old, TTC baby #2 and have been for over 2 years.

I just finished a failed round of clomid in which some of my follicles actually shrank and disappeared and the rest never developed into mature ones.

I'm on CD 17 so just waiting for the end of my cycle so I can go in for a follow up and start taking femara. I'm completely un-hopeful because I got my hopes up so high with the clomid and lo and behold, it was ridiculously disappointing.

Anyways, just wanted to say hello.

 

[TonyaG]

Hello braven, don't be too down, hopefully Femera works a lot better for you!

 

[MKHewson]

So i am now day 4 and I am having the worst cramps ever. OMG awful/

 

[TonyaG]

Mk - i'msorry it's taking so long this time, is this going to be your 5th cycle? How are you managing with all the appointments?

Now that we know everything is working, I only go in for day 3 ultrasound and blood work. I know when i ovulate so its just time intercourse for us. I don't require a trigger.

How are you feeling? Are you in your first TWW?

 

[TonyaG]

Oh that's not too bad at all, I went 6 mornings in 2 weeks!
Yes this is my first 2ww, and I have a bladder infection, heading to the doctor this afternoon.

Jessica: Yay! Congrats on ovulating! Now the tww (two week wait) it is the hardest part, but try and keep yourself busy with other things and not thing about it. Good luck!

MnGmakes3: Welcome to the group. I hope Femara works better for you than Clomid. Most of us will agree it is WAY better. I think you should be fine to bed before your appointment.

Tonya: Ugh! How frustrating. I hope you heal fast.

Braven: Welcome. Clomid SUCKS! It is hard to be hopeful, but Femara really is a million times better than Clomid. I hope you have a much better experience on it.

MK: Cramps are the worst! Take a nap, that is what I do. 

AFM: CD 9, I need to start OPK tomorrow, but I am really not feeling it. In other news, we finally added to our family! We got the cutest puppy ever! I will try and post a pic.

 

[jessicajbrady]

Ugh. Waiting for either AF or the lack of AF... It seems to be taking forever!!

 

[TonyaG]

It's the longest 2 weeks!!
When is AF due for you?

 

[jessicajbrady]

I don't really know since this is my first cycle on femara and my first cycle after whatever meds i was on to stop my in ovulatory bleeding and restart my cycle.. Fertilityfriend is estimating this coming Tuesday. My period tracker app is estimating tomorrow

 

[TonyaG]

You are not testing early? I would be testing already buy my ovidrel injection would be causing false positives!

 

[jessicajbrady]

I've come to hate negative tests! I'd much rather start my period than take a negative hpt :-\

 

[karenh]

Early testing is so hard to resist, but every negative test brings me down even more. Jess, has AF hit yet? Have you tested again?

I should be Oing any day now and DH refuses to bed or can't finish. SO FRUSTRATING!

 

[jessicajbrady]

I'm sorry, Karen That's frustrating.

Actually no AF and I got a faint positive this morning!

 

[karenh]

Congratulations!

 

[TonyaG]

Fabulous news Jessica!!!

Karen I know exactly what you mean, DH has a hard time finishing under pressure, I wish he had that problem all the time!!!!

 

[MKHewson]

I'm sorry, Karen That's frustrating.

Actually no AF and I got a faint positive this morning!

Congrats, that's so very exciting

 

[Braven05]

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I haven't been very active, but it's because I'm in limbo right now. CD 26 today, just wondering when AF is going to show up. Hopefully just another 3 days or so. Then I'll call the RE for my prescription and have an appointment on November 4th. Can't wait to see how my body responds to Femara. Hope everyone else is doing well!

 

[karenh]

I was laying in bed waiting for him to join me when I started to feel ovulation pain. Thankfully we were able to bed. This morning my test line was a lot darker. I used clear blue digital with the smiley faces last time, but couldn't find it this time. If I can figure out how to post the pic, let me know what you think. Ps. Tww has just started or possibly not even yet and already killing me.
