I took one cycle of Femara 2.5 mg 2 tablets by mouth days 3 thru 7, and got pregnant for the first cycle. We tired to get pregnant for 2 years until I took this medication. Unfourently my pregnancy ended at 5 1/2 months due to a uterine infection, my dr. has recommended waiting 3 months before trying again, and this medication is first on my list. Good luck!

I had been trying to get pregnant for 4 years I had taken 7 mos of clomid with no luck. After 1 cycle of femara I got pregnant. I have a beautiful 16 month old son as a result. He was born at 36 weeks and spent 9 days in the NICU, but that was not a result of the fertility medication it was because I developed Pregnancy Induced Hypertension.

I just wanted to know what are the chances of getting pregnant using Femara 2.5mg on the first round? I have just taken 1pill on days 3-7 and now I am on CD26 and I am anxious to find out if I am pregnant. I miscarried last year and I have another daughter who is 3yrs. old. My problem is, I don't know when I ovulate. I ovulate at different times of the month. One month it may be CD13, the next month CD15, and the next month CD16. I did one round of Clomid(50mg) and had a HCG shot and I got pregnat with my daughter first try. It took my husband and I 1 1/2 yrs. to conceive her and then it took another 1 1/2 yrs. to conceive and then I miscarried. I took 3 rounds of 100mg of Clomid and a HCG shot and conceived only to find out I had miscarried. Now I am back to not knowing why I can't conceive. I did another couple rounds of 100mg of Clomid and had 1 HCG shot done which did not get me pregnant, and so now I went to a fertility specialist and he put me on Femara for the first ime and I just so long to have another child again. Please if you have any comments or opinions ,please feel free to let me know.

PCOS is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Its where there can be several cysts (fluid filled sacs) that are on your ovary (that can be very painful when they rupture; I've had two to rupture). Most women with PCOS often don't realize it. Symptons include irregular periods, trouble losing weight, infertility, increased hair growth, acne and oily skin, pelvic pain, thinning hair, diabetes Type 2 and skin tags (tiny excess flaps of skin) in the armpits or neck area. And the best treatment for PCOS is birth control pills. When trying to get pregnant having PCOS the first medicine most doctors try is Clomid which didn't work for me.

I was diagnosed with PCOS and anovulation. Only indication of PCOS was LH:FSH ratio, none of the other signs usually associated with PCOS were present so unsure if the true problem was the anovulation due to being chronically underweight. I took Femara on my fourth treatment cycle after Clomid thinned uterine lining too much and caused problems with CM. Can't recall dosage or # of days taken (was in 2004) but I took it in conjunction with injectible Follistim, trigger shot and IUI. Pregnant first try with this combo and had a healthy baby girl (Jan. 2005) at 36 weeks due to placental insufficiency. Found my way here today after reading that Elizabeth Edwards is taking Femara. There's now info out that Femara's use in infertility may increase the risk of birth defects. Best of luck to you.

Congrats on your baby girl! I go in two days for an ultrasound to see if Femara helped with ovulation. Pray for me it did. I read a couple of days ago that one study really couldn't tell a difference with birth defects associated with femara and those who did not take it. I guess its a chance we all take by trying to get pregnant anyway. thanks

I have PCOS and had 2 cycles of Femara 2.5mg with no luck. I have miscarried 2-3 times in the past (that we know of) without any medical assistance. I have been on Metformin oral drug therapy for about 1 year steadily and this 2nd round of Femara, for whatever reason, I started my period on day 29. For the past 6mos, I've started on day 33 or 34. We aren't trying a 3rd cycle just because my emotions cannot handle anymore disappointment. Good luck to you since I've ready SOO much positive praise for PCOS women on Femara...I'm an unlucky few it did not help. My doctor DID test my blood the first cycle of Femara on day 26 and said the levels of Progesterone looked good like I ovulated, but who ,knows. My doctor had me on Femara days 3-7...maybe since my cycles were so long before.

Hi Christy,
Just wanted to ask if your doctor was willing to try a higher dosage of femera. Most women get pregnant on 5mg femera. Maybe in time you will be willing to try a higher dose.
