Femara question

winidpuwinidpu
in TTC after 35

To those ladies who have experience w/ Femara. I am on day 10 and took 2.5 mg from day 5-9. Normally w/o meds I have had cm for the last few days or so and will ovulate around day 11-13. Still nothing today and all I have had has been sticky. I thought Femara was different from Clomid since it did not dry you out? This is my first month taking it so I am not sure if this is normal or not. I do have an u/s for Friday so I am hoping I am getting close. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

    I was on Femara for 3 cycles before getting my bfp.  I did cd 3-7.  I o'd around cd 16-17 (I am normally a late o'er) each month and had a good deal of ewcm starting two days before. 

    Although I was also downing a lot of green tea at the time which also supposed to increase ewcm.  I only took clomid for one month but I had pretty much no ewcm.

     

    ETA:  I was on 5mg of Femera

    I didn't O on 2.5 mg of Femara.  I had to go to 5 mg to get a response.  I think it dried me out though but that was the only side effect.

    Hi -

    I'm on my second round of femara this month. Clomid (5-9) was horrible for me - no EWCM at all, but the effects on femara (3-7) were much milder. I had EWCM within my normal range of variation.

    Could it be that you are a day or two behind your normal cycle? The femara did delay ovulation for me a day or two and that would also mean delayed CM.

    Femara seems to delay ovulation for me as well (when I'm not using a trigger shot).  I usually ovulate on CD 13-14 and just this last cycle it was more like 15-16.

    Thanks for all you help, ladies. I do feel a little better. I might just O a little later this cycle.
