Question

Looking for PCOS success stories with Femara

Looking for a little hope... I did not respond to Clomid (doc went up to 150 mg), so I am starting 5 mg of Femara a day for five days, CD 5-9. I have PCOS and am REALLY hoping that the Femara does the trick. I know ovulation is just the first step in achieving pregnancy, but I feel like if I could just produce a mature follicle and ovulate I could finally get my BFP!! Any success stories and experiences are greatly appreciated!!! My next step is an appointment with an Endocrinologist next month.... I really hope I get to cancel it!

Just in case anyone is following this in the future... I wanted to provide an update. I had a follicle scan today and had two mature follicles (24mm and 18.5mm)!!! I got an HCG trigger shot, so I should ovulate this weekend. :) Fingers crossed this is it!!!

Hi, congratulations on your follicles! I to have PSOC and have been TTC for 4 years! Clomid did nothing for me and I went right up to the highest dose possible. I did Letrozole last cycle and although things looked better than when I was on clomid didn't get anything. Went to the hospital on Tuesday for my 2nd cycle scan on a 5mg dose and I have a 20mm egg! So pleased. Doctor could only find my left ovary on screen so not sure if there was anything in the right but I think he could see I was so pleased just to have one he stopped looking and gave me the HCG trigger shot. I am not sure that I will get my BFP this month (although DH has given it a good go) but what a step in the right direction. I was starting to feel like I would never get an egg come through and that I was running out of options. Feel so much more positive now and the doctor has said that if it doesnt work this cycle I can up my dose to 7.5mg so hoping for a few more eggs next time. Good luck to you. Keep me updated xx
