I almost always ovulate CD11 (I have O'ed CD12 twice in 16 non-medicated cycles). On Letrazole I O'ed CD12. So either 1 day late or right on time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-on-femara#post-2132399 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 17:28:37 +0000 jaguar 2132399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting! I don't ever ovulate on my own - so this is the only way I've done it before. (Clomid didn't work for my dodgy ovaries.)</p> <p>They weirdly changed my dose this time, instead of taking 5mg from days 2-6, I had to take days 5-9. Of course, that is making me paranoid that I won't ovulate for WEEKS after this now... but I don't really know how that works.</p> <p>Yeah, it's interesting @AmeliaBedilia: The idea is that with a natural FET, you would ovulate, and then they time the embryo transfer to 5dpo (if you have 5 day embies, that is) - that way your body is making it's own natural progesterone from the ovulation PLUS supplemented with the progesterone pessaries! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-on-femara#post-2132017 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 11:06:50 +0000 PurplePumps 2132017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ovulate on my own between day 22 and 35 usually, sometimes as early as 18. Femera usually made me O around CD16 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-on-femara#post-2131989 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 10:51:33 +0000 ShootingStar 2131989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I basically don't don't ovulate at all on my own, and with the right dosage of Femara I ovulated on CD16. I did have some injectables at the end to help with egg quality, but I think still would have ovulated regardless.</p> <p>My other cycles with Femara were much longer because the dose wasn't high enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-on-femara#post-2131976 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 10:43:00 +0000 BSB 2131976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ovulate on my own but being on femera made me ovulate earlier. I think on day 12 or something. I remember having to be monitored for my IUI cycles on day 10 because of it. </p> <p>Finger and toes crossed for you!! :goodluck: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-on-femara#post-2131963 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 10:32:24 +0000 NorthStar 2131963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took the generic version of femara, letrozole, for probably 5 cycles. The first 4, I would ovulate from days 11 - 14 (I ovulate on my own, so this was to super ovulate), but the last time (this cycle), I didn't ovulate until closer to day 17 or 18..it was weird. good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-on-femara#post-2131930 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 10:04:54 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 2131930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ovulate on my own, almost always CD15. I did the same on femara. The only difference in my cycle was that my luteal phase went from my normal 10-12 days to 14 days.</p> <p>I hadn't heard of doing femara the way you're doing, only taking progesterone after transfer. Either way, big prayers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-on-femara#post-2131660 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 23:18:55 +0000 jaguar 2131660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I've used this a couple times now, and I'm curious to know if/when you ovulated on it?</p> <p>(I'm using it alongside a Frozen IVF transfer, not for timed intercourse, but still need to O for progesterone reasons)</p> <p>*First time - O'd day 22.<br /> *Second time - O'd day 17.<br /> *Third time - No O, huge ovarian cyst.<br /> *This time - no idea! ;)</p> <p>When did it work for you? And do you ovulate naturally, or not at all, without meds? </p>
