Trouble TTC

Question for ladies who have taken Femara!

hey y'all, I've been taking Femara since CD2, I was ovulating late on Clomid so my RE wanted me to take the Femara for a couple extra days to ovulate on time...I'm on CD8 now and having some cramps...I'm worried I'll ovulate before my CD12 ultrasound on Saturday...anyone else have early cramping on Femara?  Thanks!!!!!

    I haven't gone on femara yet, so I don't have first hand experience but my guess is that they would see a large CL (corpus luteum) instead of a follicle and might check your progesterone to see if you ovulated. 

    Edited to say: I highly doubt you will ovulate before CD12, most women ovulate later when they start meds like this and the meds themselves can cause all kinds of cramping and bloating. 

    Keep us updated!

  • @clt2pwm11 nope!  No trigger, I ovulated on Clomid twice but not until CD17-18 so he wanted me on Femara to try to get me to ovulate earlier.
