Who all here got preggo taking Femara ?

Hey ladies, I'm doing Femara this month for the first time - not much luck with Clomid (8 months= 1 BFP early m/c).
So I took one month off and decided to give Femara a try before injectables (if needed).
So, who here got p/g taking Femara? Trigger ? IUI? etc.... and how many cycles did you do?
I'm excited to try something new that could really work, so I'm wanting a bit of good hope!!!

THANK YOU LADIES :)

dnikki: no they aren' tsure what happened, i had some problems with my beta doubling slowly at the beginning so they are thiniking a genetic abnormalitly from the get-go of this pregnancy ( my question is that finally one sticks and it has to be geneticially flawed! ughhh! why!)   follistim is a injectable, i used very low dose due to my age -27, they dindt' want me to overstimulate.. i only produced 3 mature follies so no overstimulation there!!! ( i only have one working ovary though) but thats what we'll be trying as soon as we start ttc again!  (8 weeks or so) GOOD LUCK! I hope this works for you! : )

E33 Your response gives me mcuh hope! Congratulations!!!!
I use progesterone supp. right after O anyways, that's nothing new. But I will also be on Estrace tabs right after I O also, like the supp. We'll see, hopefully this time we get a BFP and it sticks!!! Thanks :)

I got pregnant after my first cycle of femara with an ovidrel trigger. I used progesterone suppositories right after trigger all thr way to 12 weeks pregnant  We had been trying for 2 years and chlomid did not work. Dr suggested iui but we tried on our own first. I am now 7 months pregnant with a healthy baby girl. I had no side effects with femara. I was a mess on chlomid.
Please let us know how it goes for you!

we finally got our BFP while on femara,,, never used any other drugs beforehand, started right with femara, my RE really likes it, esp with endo patients.. it was our third cycle of femara, but also used low dose follistim, trigger (novarel) and IUI.. we have male factor, one ovary, endo, pcos and LUFS, ugh!  i had three follies and two ruptured our bfp cycle... the baby has stopped developing, so I am waiting to MC (i'm 6 weeks 5 days), : (   but it did work, which is further than we've gotten before!
