Hi,
I am new to this site, so i will give a little info about my situation.
I have currently done 3 rounds of clomid and in the two week wait. My husband and I have been ttc for 2+ years, this cycle I was very upset and frustrated. I discussed my feelings with our RE. He was very supportive and suggested a monitored cycle and possibly doing an iui next cycle (4). I was very happy to be involved, at day ll the ulrtasound showed a thin lining of 4.1, the ultrasound tech gave estrace for 5 days, by the time I got a blood lh surge on day 16 my lining grew to 10.1, 1 follie on left side which was 21 and one on the right that was 23.
I am 12dpo, I am wondering when can i expect a positive pregnancy test, did one today but it was neg. Also, my RE wants me to switch to femmera next cycle, will femmera help me to have two follies, which would increase our odds especially with the iui. And one last question, my period for the last two years only last 2-3 days and are very light, would this indicate that i had a problem with lining even before the clomid and how can i naturally improve it.
Sorry for such a long post. Thanks in advance for your help.

I am a proponent of Femara and like this medication and do believe like some, but not all of the literature, that it has a slightly higher pregnancy rate than clomid. It hasn't been shown to make more follicles than clomid though, interesting enough. Your hpt should have turned positive by now, if not recheck tomorrow, but it unfortunately doesn't look promising this month, but we hope the Femara will do some good (you can search letrozole in this site for more info).
