I was on clomid for 6 mths and now on Femara for the 1st time. What are my odds in getting pregnant this time? My periods are 33 days apart, when do I ovulate??

They're usually about $50-$65 each 75IU (vial) depending on the pharmacy that you get them from, and are taken for about this long, but the dose given depends on your RE...

Thanks a ton! Some of the abreviations I picked up on, and others I just don't quite get! lol So what's your story if you don't mind me asking?

What is an OPK and all I really know for certain is that my ovulation test said I was ovulating on Sept. 23rd. It's now Oct. 10th!! Could I still be pregnant?

HI Amber,

digital ones are definately easier to read, but don't know if they're much more accurate, and 12dpo is the earliest it'll turn up positive (and that's if you really know that you ovulated with an OPK).

Is one HPT more accurate of can detect sooner? I heard that the digital ones are a lot better than the solid pink lines?... Also if you can detect if you are prego 12 days after you ovulate, wouldn't I sertainly test positive by now? Sorry to keep bugging you, it's just this site is new to me, and it's great to have answers at your fingertips!

The earliest it can be detected by an hpt is 12dpo. Hang in there Amber, we know it's a tough and stressful time, and hopefully soon enough, your hpt will turn positive within the next few days...

I tried going to the Dr. today but they said that I needed to wait until day 35 at least. I'm irritated because I want this so bad it hurts. I heard that you won't show positive on a HPT until at least 3 weeks after you ovulate, is this true? Why would it not work? Thank you for your fast reply!

Hi Amber,

I would go to a doc and get a blood pregnancy test and this will let us know, and we're wishing you the best...

I am seriously confused!! I took Provera for 10 days and started my period 3 days later. I took Femera on days 3-7, and took an ovulation test to know that I ovulated on day 14 as planned. I'm now on day 31. I have taken several HPT's for the hope that it will be positive, but they have all came back negative. I was told to wait until day 35 to make sure I'm not pregant, but the wierd thing is, I have few symtoms of PMS but no period. What are my chances of being pregnant? And why would I not be if everything happened like it was supossed to? HELP!!

Hi Latina13,

If you're doing them for an IUI, usually 1 shot a day for 8-10 days

Hi Latina13,

Not really, and like you said, I've seen many patients react better in terms of side effects with Femara instead of Clomid, and combining Femara with injectable gonadotropins does significantly increase the pregnancy rate.

If you're RE was confident you ovulated, you wouldn't be expected to get your period until CD43 (14days after ovulation). Everything looks ok so far and would hang in there, check your hpt tomorrow again and see what it shows

I m on clomid cycle day 41 today. No period yet. and the HPT is negative. I had an ultrasound done on day 29 when i saw my RE for the first time. The U/S showed that i ovulated. so what cud be the reason for no period/pregnancy??? i m getting so worried now. is something terribly wrong with me??

Fermara for ovulation

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 09:22:15 -0500

My RE is going to put me on fermara from next cycle. I have read that fermara causes serious birth defects. and it is not to be taken by a woman who is trying to get pregnant. is it true? i m very worried after reading all this.
