Femara Question

in Infertility

I feel like an idiot!! This is our first round since the loss TTC again and I feel like I forgot everything! I read through my paperwork this morning and didn't find my answer. I am on a conference call right now that seems like it's going to last an eternity so I can't call my RE's office and ask. 

I need to start my Femara today and I can't remember if I was to take it in the morning or at night. I think I remember taking it at night but it's been 8 or 9 months now since I took it last and I don't want to mess anything up!!

Grow strong our little Miracle! 9/17/11: Michael joined his sister in heaven after 8 amazing weeks with us on earth. He fought a very hard fight but NEC was too much for him in the end.

    Doesn't matter as long as you're consistent.  I take it at night so that any possible side effects will be less noticable.

    I also took it at night because I was afraid of side effects.

    I was told it didn't matter but I took mine at night also so the side effects wouldn't be as bad. GL!

    I did some rounds in the morning, some at night. Just be consistant (24 hours between each dose).

    Good luck!!
