Hello Ladies, I will be using Femara this cycle as well. This will be the first one using it. I am waiting for AF to show up so I can start. I took provera for 10 day. I was told by my Dr to take it on cd5-9 but I will be taking it at night so I will start on cd4.

Hello,
I am new to this. I tried 2.5mg cycle one on femera. Clomid did not work on me. I had to cancel my cycle as I was not ovulating. I took provera today to get my period. I will now have to take 5mg of femera. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Do you know if 5mg would work? Anna

I had to bump my dose up to 5 this cycle. In my opinion, it didn't work. I had two follicles 15 mm and 16 mm. This is the smallest they've been. My first cycle on femara 2.5 I had one that was 24 mm and then the next month there was one that was 20 mm. Hard to tell. Good luck!!!

Hello Ladies! Anna, How many days did you take provera before your cycle started? I took provera 10 days the first go round and I started to spot the next day after the last pill. I am now almost 4 days past the last pill and nothing.

It doesn't work for me. My dr put me on the pill for two months, but he did it differently. He had me take 4 pills on day one, 3 pills on day 2, 2 pills on day three and continue 2 pills/day each day until I took all active pills in the one pack. I then immediately went on to the second months pack, skipping the "reminder" pills for month 1. I got af three days after finishing the second packet.

Thanks for your reply Ladies.
Tynadu: Today is 2nd day on provera. I take it for 5 days and get my period on the 7th day. My doctor says if you dont get your period after 2 weeks of the last pill to go see him. I am expected my first day on september 13th.
I have very disappointed to know that increasing femera does not help. What other options do I have? Do you take injections with femara? If so, how long do they wait before they put you on injections? I just need this to happen right away and has caused a lot of mental stress on me. Thanks for all of your help.

tynadu - you will have your periods in 3 days. I know you will, i have taken provera several times in teh past few months. Good luck this month.

well Ladies, today is cd35 for me and 5days after taking provera. Still no sign of AF. I also chart and my chart say I O'ed late around cd24 and when I add up how fast my follies were growing they would have been the right size by then. So I may still have a chance to be preggo. I know as soon as I press send AF will show up ...lol! Well I guess we will see in about a week. ***BabtDust***

ooops!! ***BabyDust***

TONS of babydust to you!!!!! Hope the witch doesn't show up!!!

Any news Tracy????

Hello everyone! Any Good news? I am on cd37 and still no sign of AF.

Hey Ladies,
What are these trigger shots that you have talked about? When do you take them? I have an appt wtih my doctor on Sept 13 which will prolly be the first day of my period. I will be taking 5mg of femara this month and medication to lower my LH. I also have PCOS. However, I am not overweight. Maybe I should bring up these trigger shots with him. I know 5mg of femera will not work on me. Without any medication my follicles were up to 1.3 and with it I reached only 1.2. Any advice would help. Thanks Anna

Just curious.... How long have you been all trying for now?

Hi Ladies... Thanks for keeping tabs on me Skeeter! I have my appointment to see my doctor tomorrow. This is the first time that I have seen him since I had my fun little trip to emerg! I am going to have to be more forceful and proactive this time. I will have a list of questions that I will need answered... this will include Why am I not monitored with U/S? and Why have we not done a complete hormone panel? Why have we not talked about a trigger shot? I'll let you know what happens. What is up with you? Any news?

I'm waiting now Tracy. Sept 17 will be day 28 for me, so I wait. The trigger shot I take is Ovidrel. That's what makes me ovulate. It won't help you though if your follicles are so litte. They should be no smaller than 20 mm. Good luck all!!!
