Letrozole (Femara) 2.5mg

Eeeek! I'm so excited for you!!! I really hope this is it! Fingers are extra crossed for you!

I had my pre-operation physical yesterday and was cleared to have the procedure done. The 5th cannot get here fast enough. My gave me a TON of leftover medicine she had from her IVF. There were 14 vials of Menopur and like 26 caps of Follistim. I've never used Follistim, but since it's there I'm going to ask when we start trying again. If I have that much, why not use it?
 
Cycle 20, CD24 and 7DPO, I'm feeling quite annoyed this morning. No particular reason. I just want to be pregnant.
 
Amanda, I'm preggo. No idea how this happened nor do I care. It's finally my turn.

OMG!!! Congratulations!!! I am absolutely over the moon for you! You definitely deserve it.
 
Thank you so much.

Now we just gotta get you pregnant. At least the surgery is coming up soon now. Do you have to wait to start trying again after the surgery?
 
I imagine I'll find out more at my post-op on the 18th. My period is trying really hard to start. I've been lightly spotting, but the BC is holding it off. Less than a week to go now. I'm reallllllly hoping it's a one and done and he can just get it out without additional surgery. I will be absolutely crushed if I have to wait to have a more invasive surgery.
 
Hi, just wanted to give out some hope! I just got my BFP on my first round being on Femara 2.5 on days 3-7! I have factor V Leiden and very irregular cycles (I only have 4-5 cycles in a year). So with much faith and prayer, wisdom from my doctor as for as medication, Conception Fertility prenatals, and preseed, we are now praising God for our answered prayers!

Each one of us are different and that’s ok! It may take some longer than others, but have faith! Don’t give up! It will happen for you! So keep going ladies! I’m praying for you all!
 
Surgery went well yesterday. He was able to remove both fibroids (yay!) and we can move to IVF. Bad news, I was laid off from my job on Monday but I’m taking it as a sign to focus on myself! I have to call once my period starts so I can start the process of IVF! Excited & nervous.
 
Surgery - that's amazing, sooooo happy it was successful and you can move on.

Job - WTF what horrible timing with Christmas in a couple weeks. What's wrong with companies? No compassion. I was laid off from a job 4 weeks before my wedding! How messed up is that. I couldn't see it then, but it ended up being the best thing for me. Sometimes God is working in our lives in ways we just can't understand. I'm so glad you're seeing the positive side of it and will be able to take some time to focus on yourself. I think my self care/self love regime really helped. If not to get pregnant then just my overall well being.

Oh I'm so excited for your next steps. Please keep me up to date I want to hear all about it! FX
 
I will! I spent most of the end of last week and the weekend recovering. The cramping is finally dying down some and I'm feeling normal. Just waiting for my next AF so I can start the IVF process. So excited and nervous!!

I know, totally bogus. This will take away some stress and help me focus on getting pregnant so I'm looking at it as a blessing!

How are you feeling? Are things going okay?
 
I just got caught up...wow! Dream-this is amazing! Congratulations!!!

Amanda: I’m glad your surgery went well. I hope IVF gets started quickly for you.

I’ve had now 4 IUIs, the last one with Clomid and Gonal-F injections. That was $800 for the injections...and I had one freaking follicle. It was a good size, but I had three good follicles with Femara. And the injections were a waste of money. So frustrating!

I’m having a D&C, a diagnostic laparoscopy, and a hysteroscopy on Christmas Eve. Doctor wants to see what’s going on since I have horrible periods. I’m hoping I get some answers and a fresh start.
 
Mom, thinking of you today. Hope everything goes well.

Amanda, hope everything is good with you too and you can get IVF going ASAP.

Happy Holidays ladies!
 
Hi all,

I went off the grid for awhile! Mom - Let us know how the procedure went! Hoping for good news.

Dream - How are you feeling? How are things going?

AFM - I am pretty sure I O'd on Christmas Eve and I didn't want to waste an opportunity, especially when the doctor said my lining looked so good. If we do not get pregnant this time, I'm to call on CD1 to start IVF. Fingers crossed.
 
Ladies, I've just been reading this and gosh I feel for you. Dream, I don't know you but I could have cried when you said you were pregnant and Amanda, I am so rooting for you. I think it's wonderful that you have found one another on this forum and could support each other like this, it gives me hope.

I've been TTC #1 for 13 months. I have PCOS, had no natural cycles, plus four failed rounds of Clomid last year with triggers. I honestly don't know how you girls stuck to all the treatment consistently for so long - even four months of all the trips to the doctors, the scans and injections and blood tests and heartache broke me.... I had to have a break for my mental wellbeing. I stopped in August and started yoga and acupunture instead. Somehow had three natural cycles since then, but all of them too long (ovulation happened around day 45) with a too short luteal phase. Now back to seeing a fertility specialist. Just in my first cycle with Letrozole, scanned this morning, ovulation definitely happened and I'm on progesterone to try and stop AF coming too soon. Fingers crossed, after over a year of crying in the toilet every time someone tells me they're pregnant (have had four in the last six weeks, it's so unfair, including my best friend and my sister-in-law) I'm trying not to focus on it too much - and yet here I am reading all these threads to remind myself I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing your stories and emotions, it really helps.

Your friend in Europe x
 
Amanda - so happy you got to give it a try this cycle. Praying so hard that you're one of those "we got pregnant right before starting IVF" stories!

I'm feeling alright overall, really can't complain. I get a little woozy in the mornings but not MS so far. I get some indigestion after breakfast most days. I get a dull headache every couple days that's more annoying than painful. BBs are sore on and off and my nipps are INSANELY itchy but again, these symptoms are all totally manageable and I'm considering myself pretty lucky. My first midwife appt is Monday at 9w4d and my first OB appt is Feb 4 at 13w4d. After that we will have to pick which care provider route we want to take.

queenie8 - thanks so much. It really does help to find women with similar stories to give you hope. Makes the process so much easier. I used to keep a list, like literally with pen and paper of how many couples we knew who got pregnant in the time we were TTC, I stopped counting at around 25 or so. Its ridiculous. I really can't say for sure but I think a part of what got me pregnant naturally was my dedication to selfcare. In September I started to get more serious about my workouts and eating healthy. I also did things for myself that I enjoy like acupuncture and a weekly bath. I was still tracking my cycles with OPKs but I stopped temping. Hope it happens for you soon! :dust:
