New to Femera

[JessicaHarrell]

I have PCOS and I am TTC. This is my first time on femera. I am taking 2 2.5 milligrams a day (3-7). I am currently on day 5. Has anyone had positive outcomes? Also, what day should I test? My doctor wants to see on day 21, but isen't that to early to have positive results?


I did avoid clomid this time inorder to avoid another set of twins (I do understand this could happen with femara too). I am blessed to have twins, but carrying twins were hard on my body and they were premature. I would like to avoid the complications that come along with it.

I wanted to add that my Doctor said that it is normal  to start anywhere between 2-10 days after stoping Provera.

So far Femara has been great for me. I have had no side effects. Except ovulation! Hopefully, it will be the same for you. I am now CD 21. I think you will find Femara  better than clomid. I have six year old girls from clomid, and just thought I would take a diffrent direction this time. I hope I made the right choice! I went yesterday for my 21 day blood work (however, I ways only CD 20) and will find out the results of that on Monday, then maybe by the end of next week I will get a BFP! Not trying to get my hopes up to much though. Best of luck! Sure you will start CD 1 soon.

I know what you mean about your husband being too positive. Mine is the same way. I love this site along with babyzone.com. A lot of supportive people and that's what I need. I normally start AF 4 days after Provera and that was with the lowest dose. I was on a higher dose and today is day number 3 and it's still early in the day so hopefully soon. This is my first time ever with Femara. I tried Clomid from Nov 2010 until Feb 2011. The side effects were way too much for me and took a break from fertility drugs and tried Fertilityblend until the beginning of June. My gyno said he wanted to try something else with me but I couldn't get in to see him until near the end of June. Now it's just a waiting game to see cd-1. I'm usually a patient one since I do have a 2 yr old (terrible 2's he'll be 3 in Dec) with him it only took 8 months to conc. I found out last year that I stopped o-ing due to my hormonal balance went off track and I'm only able to have AF with the help of Provera.

I started 3 days after Provera, but I took it for 10 days. I understand how eager you are to get started. I have been that way ever step. Now I am on the 2 week wait, and I am so eager POAS already. This baby making stuff should teach us all patience. : ) Is this your first try with Femara?

Thank you ProudMommy. I do think this is lots of fun, but lots of stress too. Ups and Downs!This is my 3rd cycle trying, but first with help. So I am pretty positive this round. However, femara is new to me, so I do find myself worrying about weather it will work for me or not. I turn to this site for help a lot. My husband is to positive, and seems not to relate to my fears. Thank goodness for these sites, and other women that understand!!

Yeah it is a fun process isn't it. I've been ttc for 2 yrs now for second child. So I'm hoping that this one will work. The Provera usually takes me 3-4 days to start it after 5 days of taking it. They gave me a stronger dose so hopefully it will be sooner so I can start the Femara and get more things going.  I need a bit more patience than I already have.
That is really awesome that you finally got that positive OPK that you've been waiting for :)
sending you lots of baby dust too :)
