So I was able to get an appointment for tomorrow. Hoping she can help me figure out why I can't get pregnant. Wondering if it would be worth increasing dosage and using a trigger. Not sure if I am ready for the iui conversation. But we want a baby so bad we may have to do some research and discuss it.
Wish me luck! And lots of baby dust to all of you as well. My dr. Decided it up the dosage. So hopefully this does the trick. If not I may have to discuss IUI. Please send positive thoughts that the meds work this time. Baby dust to all of you as well.

Keep moving forward and don't give up! Your Guide to the First Trimester of Pregnancy. Your Guide to the Second Trimester of Pregnancy. On my 2nd round of IUI now. Tell me what you did for success and how many times it took. On day 3 with Letrozole now. I also started COq10 day 3 of taking it today. I go for trigger shot Thursday.
Latest: 14 days ago haybee On my first round after taking letrozole. Had 4 TV scans and a further on Thursday. It appears that there are no signs of maturing follicles. Hey ladies! It seems like the popular question from all of the newcomers is wanting to know what it took to finally get that BFP.
My hope is that we can get all of our Femara Preggos to pop on here and make a simple post answering the following questions, and then we can try to keep the thread bumped forward so that newcomers can see it. So, if you have time, please make a post answering the following questions you should be able to copy and paste the questions into a reply!! Did you do a combo cycle where you added injections?
If so, what injectible did you add and what dose for what days? Thanks for participating : I hope this thread grows and grows and grows. Also, just FYI, this post is ONLY for reporting a BFP, we do not want the thread to get bogged down with alot of conversation and congratulations and whatnot, please save that for a separate post.
My hope is that we can have one thread that flows with nothing but all of our successes over here on Femara Friends!!! Also, this was an afterthought, but if you were up to it and wanted to include pregnancies that ended in miscarriage, I think that would be ok as well, because the Femara did result in a BFP.
Totally up to you guys though if you want to include that here, as miscarriage is never an easy topic to discuss. How many rounds of Femara did you take? What was your doseage and on what days? That was my next step. Did you do a trigger shot, and do you remember your follie sizes? I did but I do not remember follie size. I had one on each though. I didn't get one until a week after I should have.
Long story short it was an ectopic. My RE thinks that that pregnancy actually jump started my body and we got pregnant two months later on a natural cycle. So I still give the Femara credit. Did you notice any symptoms leading up to it? I had symtoms on and off which made sense becuase my HCG was going up and down from the ectopic. A major one was that I got sick when smelling beer on my husbands breath.
I will say do not get discouraged even by a miscarriage or an ectopic. There is a reason for everything and sometimes you get that BFP when least expected.
Good Luck! No combos. Tried and failed IUI twice, but the magical roudn was just the old fashioned way. Like Nikki, I would say not to loose hope. The only side effect Femara presented was headaches, but they weren't that bad just annoying.
