Femara Experiences? Loss mentioned.

Hi Ladies,

My history - 2 m/c (1st in 2009 @4 wks, and 2nd in 2012 @7wks).

I'm currently doing the Creighton model charting (based only on CM - no temping, etc) and I go see my OB in May.  I meet with a nurse every 2 weeks to review my chart and she took one look at the last one (which showed a complete cycle) and said that I have a short luteal phase.  She said more than likely that my dr would do a full hormonal profile on me and then put me on Femara.

Anyone have any experiences you can share with me?  Side effects, etc.

Thx

 

BFP 12/4/12 - M/C naturally at 6wks on 12/12/12.

    Sorry to hear about your losses.

    I agree with what the other ladies have said. 

    I have taken Femara once at 5mg for 5 days. I did not experience any side effects but I also did not respond to it.

    Hi welcome! I am so sorry for your losses! PP have good advice. I am currently in Femara 7.5mg. My diagnosis is anovulation so my ovaries are probably more resistant than the norm. I took Femara 5mg on CD37. No side effects, maybe a little bit moody. My o
