Femara Friends!

[IwantMyTurn]

Hi ladies!

First off, CONGRATS on you BFP MK!!! So happy for you! I'll keep praying for your sticky bean!!

As for me, I'm a bit nervous for tomorrow...I go in for my blood test to confirm if I've ovulated or not...so I've been praying for good news this whole last week! ....I believe if I in fact did ovulate, then I will do my HPT on 1/30 or somewhere around there. I'm around 5-6DPO right now, at least I think. LoL. Does that seem right?

Anyway, just a quick update! * baby dust to you all! *

Congratz MK Wish you a Happy and Healthy nine months!!!

Good luck Trina. I am glad that your doctor decided to up your dosage rather that waiting longer.

Cridge - I really pray that you will get your BFP this cycle too!! Fx'd for you.

Good luck to everyone waiting to ovulate and waiting to test!!!

AFM: I went in for my Bhcg and it was negative. Now I am waiting for AF to start so I can start my new cycle with letrozole and gonal-f. I have been getting AF late so I am expecting Af around Saturday so lets see.

When I was on clomid I developed cysts almost everytime even though i never ovulated with it. Has anyone done clomid and had cysts. I just hope I don't get any with femara. I feel like I take 2 steps forward 1 step back.

OMG it was so cute, so he was asleep when I found out in the AM, so I had to wait until I came home ( he works nights so sleeps all day). hehe so when i woke him I said, well you did it again you know...and he was like what...I said you got me pregnant again. Thanks for your supportive words, I truly need it...

 

[MKHewson]

So it was blood confirmed today, I have to go back Thursday to check levels, then schedule US.

 

[Chiles]

YAYYYYY!!!! Sticky Vibes!!!!!

Congrats I am hoping we will all get our BFPs soon!

I have a question. This will be my first time using opks what if I never get a positive? Does that mean I didn't ovulate? Then how would I know when to move on to the next cycle?

The thing with OPK's is that you can start to test at like CD8 or 10, and maybe not get a positive until CD20 - or not get a positive at all, but maybe you still ovulated? It really is a crazy thing for some ladies. I am lucky - I always get a definite positive on the OPK a couple of days prior to O - but Femara can weaken the line as well...
Are you being monitored at all?

 

[Cridge]

zadeebug - the best way to know if you've ovulated is by tracking your temp. Opk's are (sometimes) good to know if you're about to ovulate, but whether or not you get a + doesn't necessarily mean you'll ovulate. I have NOT gotten a + on my last 2 cycles, but definitely have ovulated. Opk's can be helpful, but they can also make you crazy.

 

[MrsCompass]

@MK - That's soooo great!!! Keep us in the loop

@Zadee - I agree with Cridge. The best way is to know if you've ovulated is to track your temperature. I've only used OPK's with the lines and I always have a hard time reading them. I haven't tried the expensive ones that spells out "positive" or "negative" but I refuse to buy them because I don't fully trust OPK's.

@cindy (siblingwishes) - I didn't know that femara can weaken the lines! Interesting .. THANKS!!! Btw, how are you feeling?

 

[IwantMyTurn]

Congratulations MK! Sticky vibes!!!

 

[zadeebug]

Siblingwishes- I am not being monitored I have been in the past. While I was on clomid I just had a day 21 blood draw to see if I ovulated (never did). I had one cycle with gonal-f and clomid which I had 1 egg and had a cycle day 12 us followed by a trigger. I had to take time to get a lap done where they found and treated endometriosis. They also checked my tubes and they were perfectly fine. This is my first cycle since and we are just trying to be more cost efficient this time by being unmonitored its also my first time using femara.

Cridge-I have never charted temps. I would like to but I have no idea where to begin.

Also has anyone else heard of or have a "soft" uterus? It usually is found along with endometriosis. My Dr. Said I did but didn't really elaborate?
