Long time Lurker... First time posting (intro) & femara ?

pinkfreak00 · January 2011

Hello to all...I feel like I need to thank you all for helping me obtain my "google doctrate!' (what i jokingly call all the info I have obtained from lurking)

I am 28 years old and have been trying to conceive since May 2009. My diagnosis besides endometriosis is unexplained fertility.

In spring of 2010, my endometriosis was discovered and I had a lap in July 2010. That same cycle I had a failed IUI.

Since then, I've had 4 unsuccessful and unresponsive clomid cycles and am currently trying femara for the first time. Today is CD 7 and I go for monitoring on CD 12. My Dr. would like to move to injectables, but I am not quite ready...(I have had a trigger shot, but that is the extent of injections?

My DH and I have decided that if we are not PG by summer we will give the injectables a try.

My question is: Has anyone had success with Femara after none with clomid?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome and good luck!

Although I didn't get KU on Femara, I did ovulate for the 1st time in over a year on it. My Dr also wanted to move me to injectibles. I just couldn't wrap my head around it at the time. I'm glad I tried Femara and hope to do another cycle or 2 on it.

Welcome to the board, and congrats on your first post! I had no response on Clomid, but I never tried Femara, I went straight to injectables. The injectables consist of shots on a daily basis, and sometimes multiple shots daily, depending on your situation, and your plan. I still didn't respond to my first two cycles of injectables. I hope your stay here is short, and ends in a beautiful baby!
