Cycle day 1 for me I'm ready to start my first round of femara. I'm on 5mg 3-7 do I take both pills at the same time or 1 in the morning 1 at night? also this is my first time doing opks any suggestions or tips on brands and how to do them. My re says to start testing cycle day 10.

I take both pills with my dinner. I use the answer brand OPK. I get 20 of them for $20 and even though the box says they arent good past 30 days of opening, that isnt true and you dont have to keep testing after you get a postive.

 

[zadeebug]

I have never done opks so I'm a little afraid. I've done injections etc. But I was in clomid and never o'd so I am trying to be hopeful with femara. Im really just not sure how to do opks. Thanks for your help.

Cooch - CONGRATS!!!! Any updates? Has your beta gone up?

Lola - Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoyed your miodnight truffle!!! And managed to get in a little bday

Chiles - YAY!!!! That is great! Good luck tomorrow!

Courtney - The progesterone can suck for sure. What type are yout aking? I was taking Crinone last month but HATED it, so will start prometrium today. 2 pills up the hoohoo...

AFM - well I had my IUI yesterday. The doc said my DH has super sperm! Heehee it of course went straight to his head! I am glad tho - he had 38 million post-wash! She said my cm was perfect too, so hey - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this be our month! I will start Prometrium tonight...want to BD one more time first as extra insurance!

Cyndy

i'm taking endometrium...2 pills up into the unknown! lol i feel like i have permanent pms

I take 2 prometrium a day too but I take mine orally....did not know they made the kind you can insert. Interesting. Mine make me fee horrid too!!! AND it causes me to have a UTI....every single time!!! I forgot that it did that (as I havent taken the prometrium in several months) and now I have a KILLER one. Yuck!

The prometrium can be taken orally or up the whoo ha...same pill! My RE wants me to take it up the whoo ha before bed - 2 pills. Trust me, this is better than the Crinone gel...that stuff was nasty!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOLA!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much ladies!!! I have my IUI tomorrow and then I will be in the TWW. A real TWW, OMG!!! I did test my trigger on an HPT today. It was beautiful. Wish it was real. I will start testing it out at 10dpt.

Hmm I triggered Wednesday night, tested on hpt Friday night, positive, tested this morning, faint positive. I think the trigger will be gone by tomorrow...let me know how long yours stays in your system - I am just curious

I take the same dose as well, I take both in the morning before leaving home for work. As for OPK's, I order mine online from Fertility Friend (i think). They are WAY cheaper than buying inthe drug store!

 

[Cridge]

charisse - looks great!! get busy!

zadeebug - for my first few cycles I split my pills up - seemed to make more sense. But I think I had better response when I took them all together. More bang at one time, I guess...??? Don't worry about opk's - it's just another stick to pee on. Get the digital ones if you're worried about interpreting them. They're a bit more expensive, but worth it for an exact answer if the other ones scare you. GL

afm - 10dpo and things are looking pretty good for me ladies, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I don't feel pregnant and I can't allow myself to get hopeful, but I've had a couple good signs. Of course, you can have signs and it doesn't mean anything, so... I plan on testing on Tuesday morning and then I'll be done with testing. I'm not even really looking forward to it - I don't want to see a bfn!

MK - have you tested?
Cridge - hmm what "signs" have you been having???

 

[courtneycvt12]

ugh, girls..these progesterone suppositories are really doing a number on me. i could have killed someone for a cinnamon roll the other day, i'm so hot that i've turned the air conditioner on for the last 5 days, i wake up in the middle of the night incredibly nauseated and the only thing that helps is an ice pack on my lower back (which is weird). i better have a bfp this month...i am not looking forward to next month.

 

[MKHewson]

I havent tested, nor have I started lol...I am just waiting it out for a few more days just to see LOL

 

[Chiles]

I believe Chook got her
@ cridge I agree with you. I hate SS. And trying to stay away from all that.

Afm - had my iui this morning, wasn't that bad but I am very crampy right now. My cervix was. high which is a good thing I will have my progesterone draw a week from now and then they will decide if I need progesterone tablets or whatever. In the Tww
