I have pcos and want to be pregnant. I've taken both clomid and metaformin, and neither of those helped. My doctor has suggested taking femara. Has anyone else ever taken femara to try to get pregnant?

I also have PCOS. I took Femara and it did absolutely nothing for me. It did not stimulate my ovaries enough to produce adequate sized eggs. But do know that everyone is different and it my help you. I also take metformin. My doctor is going to try me on Clomid for my next cycle.

After 7 failed cycles of clomid (including one with IUI) -- my fertility doctor put me on Femara (also with IUI) and I conceived the very first month. I have PCOS - but I am not overweight. My doctor says Femara works better than Clomid for people who are PCOS without the weight problem. It also left me with a much thicker uterine lining than clomid ever did. My little "Femara" baby is now 11 months old -- a happy and healty little girl. Let me know if I can answer any more of your questions...

I have been on Metformin 1500 mg (due to increased insulin levels, PCOS, no weight insues) now for three months with no shortening of my cycles and no pregnancy. I saw my RE today and he has recommended a x-ray to evaluate the patency of my fallopian tubes, a sperm count for my hubby (we had one done last year but apparently this one is more detailed???), I will start on Proinetrium two days after I ovulate (due to a short luteal phase) and if I get my period on May 10 I will begin therapy with Femara. My RE will not put me on Clomid as I am already high risk for a twin pregnancy I naturally conceived my twins in April 2004. But I lost my two beautiful twin baby girls at 24 weeks due to PROM. They both survived for several days but in the end they went to be together in Heaven. Hubby and I have been trying since January 2002. I am also looking for information on Fermara. Best wishes to everyone and I would also like to hear any advise and outcomes.

I too have pcos, and have been on femara for five months. My doctor just started me on ovidrel (a shot) that I have to take on day ten. This actually is the second cycle I will be trying this and if I have any luck I'll let you know.
