Success after IF

Well this cycle is over....this S U C K S

I guess I'm one of the few that fermara doesn't work for.  Today at my appt (cycle day 14) my follies were smaller than they were 4 days ago and my estrogen dropped from 115 to 60.  Its over.  My body has officially pooped out.  I'm so sad.  Up next we have the choice of injectables/IUI or just move to IVF.  I'm learning toward IVF...

  • I'm sorry to hear that!

    Has your RE ever discussed a combo cycle using the Femara + injectibles?  I didn't produce follies at 2.5 mg Femara, or 5 mg Femara alone, but I did on 5 mg Femara CD 3-7 then small amounts of Gonal-F CD 9-12 (I think....it's been so long!).

    After 20 months TTC with PCOS, we were blessed with twins!
    They arrived at 36 weeks after PTL and bedrest for 14 weeks. Lilypie Third Birthday tickers image

  • So sorry : ( I know it doesn't get easier, the second, third, etc. time around. FWIW, I would do IVF in your shoes.

  • I'm so sorry.  (((hugs)))
  • Femara didn't work for me, either-- on CD 10 my E2 was at baseline and I had nothing going on my ovaries, either.  I am sorry, I know I really was hopeful it would work for me!

    I went to injectibles, but it ended up being a waste of time for me, I would stim way too fast and had a canceled cycle.  I just wasn't mentally prepared for IVF at that point, but I got there fast!  

    Whatever you choose, good luck!
