Define for me: it didn't work. Does that mean you didn't get pregnant or you didn't ovulate? Big difference. If you ovulated, it worked, and there should be no reason to up your dosage.
I did something like 10 rounds of Clomid and am on my 2nd round of Femara. A lot of women experience terrible side effects from Clomid, which I never really had. The first two months I was really emotional, but settled in nicely. I took everywhere from 50-150mg doses. I would typically have one or two maturing follicles each cycle.
I'm on round two of 5mg of Femara and so far the past two months have been rough. I have lots of headaches, cramps and backache. I have had more mature follicles each of the past two cycles so I think it's working better for me then the Clomid.
Didnt work as in didnt ovulate. I know its my first try, lowest dosage, but I just thought I'd see what others thought of Femara too. Just trying to get as much info as possible!
I didnt have any side effects at all. Im on CD22 and still no side effects. That was actually my first sign it wasnt working, just because of all the horrible side effects I've heard about! I think my dr will up my dosage to 100mg and we'll see what that does I guess.
My lp has been ok, about 12-15 days. I took it the night of CD2-6, I was told to take it 3-7, so I thought I'd take it at night.
I was researching Femara a little more last night and it looks like its a little more dangerous than Clomid. So I'll probably just end up upping my Clomid dosage. My progesterone at CD21 was 1.17 and I'm on CD24 and still no O. I got a darker OPK yesterday, but OPKs dont mean too much, I dont even know why I still do them! Ha!
