I took Femara CD 4-8 this cycle. I usually ovulate on my own, but around CD 20, so the Femara is for stronger ovulation and to lengthen my luteal phase. I'm currently on CD 16 and still getting negative opks. I usually O 2 days after a positive opk, so at this rate my earliest O is CD19. I thought that the Femara would help me O earlier, is that not usually the case? Also, the one cycle I took Clomid I Oed on CD 18 (and I took it CD
5-9). Thoughts? Experiences?

I have no experience but I bet there is someone on the boards that does so I'm bumping. I hope someone can shed some light here.

My situation is different in that I don't O at all on my own. But I didn't respond to Femara at all, I took it for two cycles. Hopefully someone else on here has more experience with it!

I'm not sure about femera yet, i'm only on day 2 of it starting on cd5. But on clomid, I o'd around day 18 vs 25 to 28 on my own. One of my clomid cycles didn't work either and the dosage had to be upped. If you're not really responding to it, they may need to increase it, but your blood tests and u/s should be able to tell you if you're are. Maybe it's possible to still o around the same time, but hormone levels are better?

@LAZB: I took femara for 2 cycles & both were anovulatory for me (no O). However, I am aware of some of the ladies on the IF boards who have taken femara before & they ovulated on that. Perhaps you might post this question over there? I have been taking clomid & I've been ovulating on cd14 (with trigger) and that's with cd13 u/s monitoring to see how many follicles are growing. Good luck!

Thanks y'all. I finally got a positive opk this morning, so will probably O on CD 19. A little later than I was hoping, but hopefully it will be a a strong O.
