Femara Friends!

[MKHewson]

I am going back on metformin!

I'm still on it to and my sugars have been great. I hoping not too have to use insulin this time around

 

[LotusBlossom]

Karen! Congratulations!!! I just saw that you are pregnant! What wonderful news!

Anyone else have really slow growing follies on femara? Last year I did 2.5 mg of femara and had one really fast growing follicle, with a natural surge before cd 14. This year they upped it to 5 mg and I have had 3 extremely slow growing follicles since cd 11, like today is cd 15 and they're still at 13, 14, 14 mm. Then a new one popped up today as well at 10mm! I do have pcos tendencies with late ovulation off meds. The nurse seems unconcerned and just that I will ovulate late.

Have you thought to request metformin, I started it after a few slow cycles and it totally increased my timelines.

Unfortunately I don't tolerate metformin well. I went on it last year and ended up in hospital with tachycardia. So my RE put me on high dose myoinositol instead.

Maybe the extended release would help? I couldn't tolerate the regualar. They finally have a generic 500 mg for the ER.

 

[MKHewson]

Any symptoms yet Karen...

 

[LotusBlossom]

MK- It's going really well. My baby is sleeping 6-7 hours at night, so I feel pretty lucky. I'm loving the cuddles and smiles! It really is amazing.

 

[karenh]

YES! I have been so sick for the past week. Also, exhausted for the past month. Sore boobs, and overdrive libido.

I have zero sex drive right now it's awful couldn't be bothered. I have an appointment tomorrow. I don't feel anything anymore. I'm so freaked that I'm goin to my app and for some reason it hasn't progressed. No reason to think it hasn't either 16 weeks done.

 

[TonyaG]

Wow Karen lucky you, I just got got a bit of sex drive back!
MK it's so hard not to worry. Let us know how it goes tomorrow.

 

[MKHewson]

Appointment is at 230 can't wait lol I am going to ask for Doppler right away ol

 

[MKHewson]

Yipeee heard baby on Doppler was amazing. I feel so much better now just needed the reassuring.

 

[TonyaG]

That's great!

Now it's my turn to go crazy, I've been feeling the babies move a lot but ten there are times when I dont. I'm have a really hard time today as I haven't felt anything today.
I know it's all positioning but I just want them to move

 

[karenh]

Tonya, that would be scary. I am sure everything is just fine though.

MK: How awesome that you got to hear the heart beat. I can't wait.

So it is nice that my sex drive is up except DH's is pretty much non existant. He didn't have a bag one before I got pregnant, and now it is even worse.

 

[MKHewson]

That's great!

I think I have felt mine a little, where they found the heartbeat kinda confirmed. where is you placenta, do you know yet.

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

I know what u mean Karen. My DH was a no go for sex the entire pregnancy. We tried it once but he kept being weird and asking what's wrong every time I made a dang sound.... But now it's reversed, he wants it and I dont. The less sleep I get the longer it will be before he's allowed back.

 

[TonyaG]

I've been feeling the babies for a while now off and on, I feel them again today so I'm less nervous.

 

[MKHewson]

So ladies, how's everyone doing?
