My husband and I had been TTC for nearly two years. On my second month of Femara we got the good news that we're expecting! I also didn't notice any side effects like I did with Clomid. Wish you all the best!!

I am PCOS too. I am 33/DH 41. I have two babies 9y & 11y no meds to conceive them. PCOS since i was 18 or so. I just finished first round of femara. No S/E. This is CD9 for me. I start OPK testing tomorrow. I would love to share my story with you. You can email me if you like. Baby Dust to you.

It worked great for me. I got pregnant my 2nd cycle taking Femara. I have a history of miscarrages but the good news is I'm now 24 weeks and doctor says everything looks perfect. I swear by this drug and highly recommend it to anyone who has infertility issues.

What does PCOS stand for

I've heard some good things about it and was happy to hear it helps with the uterine lining. I too am just starting with Femara after doing 8 rounds of clomid over the past year - only one pregnancy, but m/c at 7 weeks. Surprisingly, before starting the meds, the ultrasound showed 8 follies in one ovary and 7 in the other... (I was off all meds for 3 months - only fertility blend herbs) They plan to do an IUI next week after seeing how I responded to the Femara. Now I'm wondering if the combination is too much stimulation since I already have so many follicles!?! Anyone know about the stats on multiples with Femara? Good luck and prayers to all!

PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. If you search the web for pcos you will find a lot of helpful information. I'm not sure with the chances of multiple births are with femara, my doctor told me that it was less than what it is with clomid. I would like to find out if anyone has had multiple births with femara? and what their dosage was?

I was diangosed w/PCOS prior to finding out I had endometreosis? Are the two related? My doctor just recommended Femara because I had terrible side effects w/clomid. I took a break after the clomid, b/c you know . .. you get so tired of it all. My husband and I have been trying for 4 years. Finding this message board has really answered some questions for me. Thanks ladies.

I am so excited to have found all your postings today! I just found out I have PCOS, also no weight problems, after 17 months ttc. I am about to start round 4 of Clomid (100mg) and have my first IUI scheduled for 9/10. my dr also prescribed Metformin. Thanks for all your info on Femara, I plan to ask my ob about it if this next cycle is a bust. good luck to all!

femara worked for me the fist cycle but didn't work the 2nd cycle now i'm trying a third time has anyone had this problem with femara

christy - September 2nd, 2005 9:12 PM

hello ladies! I am starting my second month of Femara. My doctor told me the risk of multiples with clomid is 5% and 3% with Femara. I will ask my Dr. on Tuesday if the chance is increased with Ovridel injection to induce ovulation.

I never heard about it .I have been trying to get pregnant for 1 year and six months without success. I went to the fertility specialist, but their prices were just too high for me ($3,000 per month, no guarantees). I decided to do some research and took the following herbs:
1. FEM RESTORE (herbs in liquid form. Dark brown bottle with green letters. Found in any good health food store). Nasty taste, but worth the suffering.
2. Crystal Start Female Harmony: 4 pills per day.
3. Deluxe Evening Primrose Oil: 4 pills per day.

I took these herbs for about 1 1/2 months. I started with the beginning of my period and took until the next periods (irregular periods). Then I took VITEX just for a few weeks and now I am 2 months pregnant! I just saw my baby’s heartbeat yesterday. Please write me to anaclaudiariofl@msn.com if you have any questions. I wish you the best of luck. Put a little of God on this mix too and you will have a winning bet. Regards, Ana Claudia.

Ana, congrats on your pregnancy! Thank you so much for the information. I think I will check out the nutritional store tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Sabrina - September 2nd, 2005 11:14 PM

I have PCOS. I am taking 1500 metformin. Taken 5 cycles of Clomid (50-150mg) with no ovulation. Taking Femara for first time.


Christy - September 2nd, 2005 11:19 PM

Good luck Sabrina! When do you go to the doctor for an ultrasound? I go on Tuesday. The last 2 times I have had 3 follicles.
