Femara Friends!

[Chiles]

I had my baseline u/s and b/w and got all clear to start letrozole from today. By the way I am on CD3 not cd37. I will be going back on Wednesday to get U/S and then start Gonal-f from there. I am just worried about how much I will need. I know I only had one follie with letrozole and my RE wants to get 2-3 so not sure how much gonal I will need.

Chiles- How much gonal did you use??

Jchic- I hope you will get your BFP this month too.


Good luck to everyone else in the TWW and to the ones waiting to ovulate.

I used 900 iu pen. I am a slow responder though with the low dose. Soon as my RE increased the dose I responded very well. If no this cycle I am sure I will be on a much higher dose this time around. I think you will def get 2-3 great follies. Cant wait until I read your updates soon Since we both are doing combo cycles.

AFM: I think I am going to start testing out this trigger I am going crazy Idk what to think I feel "pregnant" but I am trying to stay humble and not give my hopes up. Monday I will go in for my P4 test and I am looking forward to the results of that to see if I ovulated with that trigger (FX) I am pretty sure I did (I felt it all) I just want to see what my numbers are Well ladies I am just blabbing on. I really don't have anything to say> ladies

I know your iui was 5 days ago...was your trigger 2 days before that? I tested out my trigger - it is gone today...7dpiui, 9 dptrigger
I hope you "feel" like you're pg because you are!!! FX

 

[LolaM]

If all those follicles release, you will be in for QUITE the surprise! Can you imagine?!

Hahaha!! I can't imagine. But I'll take 1 or 2 or 3 or even 4.
The nurse said we might find more on Saturday since I'm still on femara. I just took my second last pill tonight.

My husband always tell me that if we have twins or triplets, we can be done and not have to do this again

 

[Cridge]

shareena - we'll be gonal-f buddies! I should be starting my injections next Wednesday as well!

courtney - sorry about af finding you!!

FX'd for everyone waiting to test! Excited to see more bfp's!

I'm still hanging out waiting for af to find me on Sunday. One more day to go.

 

[LolaM]

Something has to happen or i dont know how much longer i can keep taking the medication. It seems i am always having some kind of side effect. Today, I got several "brain freeze" headaches but i hadnt had anything cold to eat!

Yes that is correct, I had the 10000iu and I was told it could talk up to 10 days. I am going to test in the A.M. Since I know the 1st morning urine is more "reliable"
I have had symptoms but I dont like to SS so I am going to keep that to myself. Keep us updated

 

[Mrs.Stinski]

So since this is my first round of Femara Im feeling a little weird right now and am hoping that you ladies might be able to tell me about what Im feeling. I was on Clomid before and it worked but made me crazy, hence switching to Femara. Im on CD 10 and Im feeling some serious "OV like pain" on my left side.....if you missed that Im only CD 10....wouldnt it be a little early? I dont even have my scan to check my follicles until Sunday. Just sent the hubby to the store for OPKs but they only worked when I was already pregnant before, so Im really not counting on it to work. Im so confused....

i felt ovulation pains early too but when i went in for my 12 day scan everything was normal, i hadn't ovulated yet...the nurse said that it's normal so i wouldn't worry

Whew, I was getting a little worried. Good thing is pretty normal cause Im am so not in the mood tonight. Ive somehow managed to sprain my ankle or something so Im just ready to go to sleep lol

 

[siblingwishes]

Mrs. Stinski - last month was my first month on Femara and I really felt heavy ovaries! I was worried I was going to O before the trigger! Everything was normal at my CD 11 scan...this month I didn't have as much pain.

 

[courtneycvt12]

so i went to see the doc today for another round of femara, and he decided to put me on injections... kinda scary. i don't really know what to expect and i HATE HATE HATE needles. i dont know if i can inject myself with anything. but the bright spot is that i dont have to take the stupid progesterone suppositories. he said they aren't necessary. thank goodness because they made me crazy!!!

 

[Chiles]

The injections are not that bad at all! And they work very well. As far as the sticking part goes you can barely feel it. They are pricey if you are paying out of pocket, but I think it is worth it! good luck

I hope so too. I started my letrozole last night. I am looking forward to your cycle Chiles. I hope you will get BFP which will give me hope too. I will have to pay out of pocket too so i hope i don't need to use a lot of gonal but I guess I have to wait and see. Good luck on your progesterone test.
