"Hi Megan,
I took Femara but not for that long. Only a few days I think. I took Follistim and Femara then the trigger shot. I got pregnant with twins (at age 41) by IUI. I have no idea where you live, but my fertility specialist told me to go for IUI…"

mhynes replied to Megan E. Wilhelm's discussion 'Fertility Drugs' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I have no experience with femara, but before ttc I had to take progesterone to just start a period. I just was not ovulating. Ugh. I will say the progesterone did cause my.numbers to run a little higher.
Started clomid in Feb 2011. Got pregnant…"
Fertility Drugs
My husband and I have been TTC since Feb with no luck - no period, no ovulation. My GYN recommeded I see an "infertility doc" (I think that sounds depressing so I call him the "fertility doc") since I am T1 and edging closer to 35.I saw him on Tuesday, and he has recommended a 10 day dose of progesterone to jumpstart my period and 4 months of Femara. Has anyone else tried Femara? I am *terrified* of the side effects as well as it possibly affecting my control. I'd love to hear about others'…See More
"Thanks for your reply! I too would love someone to talk to about this, because I am feeling very alone. I am seeing a Fertility doc in 2 weeks, so I will ask him my questions and hopefully get referrals."
Chelseabetic replied to Megan E. Wilhelm's discussion 'Is it strange...?' in the group Type 1 - Thinking of Getting Pregnant!"My Husband and I start the long process of trying to get pregant in Oct and we just now go the ok to start trying. My Dr told me that you shouldnt even think about trying until your A1C is under 6.5. He said the risk for the baby to have heart and…"
"I think the absorption is different because I didn't have much space for the pod to go; my legs and flanks worked OK until I had too much scar tissue (causing occlusion after occlusion), and the back of my arms never worked. I take injections…"
"I was on the OmniPod for only 6 months because of many issues and I did have this problem like you are having. My Endo said it was an absorption issue b/c the canula might not be in far enough (it appeared fine when I checked). Anyway, my A1C shot…"
"Isn't it frustrating? You spend all these years trying NOT to get pregnant then when you want to, you can't!! I am super frustrated, too - especially bc I feel like EVERYONE is pregnant right now. It's not like I'm jealous of my…"
"Hi Kendyl - Sorry to hear about your frustrations. My husband and I are going through the exact same thing right now: been trying for 7 months with no luck. We started trying at the end of January, and I had my annual exam with the OB/GYN in April,…"
The Queen of Light and Joy replied to Megan E. Wilhelm's discussion 'Hormones (or lack thereof)' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"*sigh* I feel for you. My DH and I have been on again off again being trying to get pregnant. I've done the ovulation kits (on again off again) some months I am ovulating and some months I'm not. And it doesn't help that it seems like…"
Hormones (or lack thereof)
My husband and I decided late last year we would start TTC this past April. I had some really bad periods while on the pill (oral) and my OB/GYN recommended I go off the pill in February. I did, and I had an immediate period. Then........... nothing. I saw my OB/GYN in late April, and she told me they would jumpstart my period in June if I didn't get one. Well, May 8 it came along and I immediately begun using an Ovulation Predictor Kit. But I never ovulated!! I had my thyroid levels checked 2…See More
