Femara?

Have any of you done any cycles with Femara?

I've done 3 rounds of clomid and respond very well, but no BFP for us.

I was wondering if you could tell me about your experience with Femara. This is what I will be taking for my next cycle.

I'm actually excited to move on to a different drug and have some hope! :o)

And I wanted to thank everyone for welcoming me with open arms.

Hi there, I did one cycle with clomid (we have male factor so it was to just increase follicles for me). That did not work, so we switched to femera. I had tons of side effects with clomid but none on femera. However, I only produced one dominant follicle. I know there are others on the pregnancy board who got pregnant with femera, so good luck!

I've heard great things about Femara and can honestly say that I'm excited about starting it.

I'm sorry to hear that you only had one follie. IF just sucks and I hate it for all of us. :o(

Rachm~ Where are you now in your treatments?

We did Femara for 3 cycles and I LOVED it! The side effects I had were very few and included hot flashes and it lengthened my ovulation day and my cycle. That's it though! We ended up getting pregnant on our 3rd cycle of it and are now 9 months pregnant and expecting our perfect little guy any day now :) I hope Femara brings you your BFP like it did me!! Good luck and message me if you have any questions at all regarding Femara :)

See, I told you there are ladies on this site with BFP! After 2 IUIs, we did an IVF and found out last week it worked! Still early days yet, but I am excited. I really hope it works for you!

I did 8 lonnnnnnnng cycles of Clomid. No luck with it...

I'm on cycle 3 of Femara. It has virtually no side effects for most women though, being weird like me, I cry while on. But according to DH that is a vast improvement to the "B" that I was on Clomid!

I did Femara and BCP for 2 months, then added Lupron for a week. Then stopped Femara and BCP but continued Lupron and added Estradiol the 2nd week, and then I started stims. I had a lot of endo to suppress tho. I'm in the 2ww right now. The only bad thing I experienced with Femara was my skin really broke out, but that was it. Good Luck!
