So we had to take May off due to a cyst. So when we went back this cycle,the doctor didn't like the structure of my lining after clomid so she put me on femara and had two nice size follies on my right overie,one 17" and one 19". Went and did insemination 6-15. The donor had 40million sperm this time as apposed to the 16million last time. So I am hoping that is a plus. Has anyone had better luck with Femara vs. Clomid? -Stephanie :)

So the doc said to try taking my progesterone pill orally instead of vag. So last nite at 11pm I did that. Well around 3:30am I went to the restroom and seen a lil pen sized spot of bright red blood,then had some horrible nausia after words. I have had no spotting today. Do you think this could have been implantation?

So she said that this is normal when you are taking meds and forcing ovulation and maybe I just have a cyst,which is fine. Made me feel so much better that she wasn't worried about it. Today I was so dizzy and light headed. I seen that the progesterone can do that,even though I didn't have it last time. Has anyone had that problem with those pills?

I did my trigger 6-14 at 9pm and I am pretty sure it was 10,000. I have just had some sharp/dull pain in my right side since friday so I'm going to call my Dr tomorrow and see if it is normal.

My re would never put me on clomid. She went straight to femara.  She no longer uses clomid because in a lot of her patients it made fsh levels go up and thinned lining too much.  And because we had been trying for over a year she thought that would be best.  My SIL used it several months and she descriibed it as hormone h***.  It worked for her but she's way younger than me! Lol  When did u do the trigger shot and how much was the dose?

Well I don't remember if I had this feeling the last time with clomid or not. My husband things it's just my trigger shot messing with me. How long did you try on clomid?

All I had was slight cramping and a little tired and that's it.  I wasn't even sure I was pg until I got a positive test!  Good luck.

That is so awsome that femara worked for you! I hope I am just as lucky! Did you have any symptoms before you tested? I just started my progesterone this morning,but I was dizy all day and had some slight pain/cramping on my right side.

Yes I had great luck with femara worked first time for me.  Now have a healthy 4 month old baby girl.  Femara doesn't thin your lining like clomid does.  Good luck to u
