I was on the XR until I got to 12 weeks - then I stopped it with no problems. I would start taking the prometrium a couple days after ovulation so the uterus is ready for implantation should conception occur. And don't go off of it until after you are positive it is a negative HPT (like at 17 days past ovulation). If the HPT is positive - stay on the prometrium!! But I would also OK it with your doctor first. That's great that you are on the aspirin and folic acid already. Don't be jealous - it will happen for you too!! I thought my time would never come but once I tried the femara it happened on the first cycle! I have heard this from other women as well. On femara I ovulated on day 13 but with the help of a trigger shot of HCG. At day 13 the one follicle I had was 22mm. I never tried clomid. I think you have all the bases covered now - best of luck for a successful cycle!!!! I am excited to hear good news from you!!!
I actually am on aspirin and 4g folic acid as I am heterozygous for mthfr, I've been taking both for a few months trying to prepare. So that's good I guess! Your right, maybe if I could ovulate sooner that really might help me. I'm on on the XR, are you taking it? Do you think I should take prometrium after I ovulate or wait for a positive preg test? I'm trying to decide about that next. Congratulations! I have to say I'm jealous. I hope I get to 21 weeks some day. That's great. When did you ovulate on the femara?
I wouldn't worry about the specifics too much - at least you are on it and your blood sugar was not that high to begin with. Plus you stop it at 12 weeks anyways. Your m/c's could have been from ovulating so late which the clomid will help with. And I remember you said you would start prometrium. This will also help. If you have any more unexplained miscarriages you can inquirre about extra folic acid and baby aspirin as well. I took both until 12 weeks too. Overall though I really feel the femara helped me - the egg was better quality and I ovulated sooner. I am going on 21 weeks now and that's all I know. You are doing you best to prevent any more miscarriages. Now you just need the BFP!! Good luck! (Also are you on the metformin-XR (extrended release)??? This can help with the stomach problems...I had none. I have heard there are more problems with the non-XR formula.)
