Congrats again and thank you so much for posting this! Out of curiosity, was this your first Femara cycle or what? If you did previous Femara cycles, what was your LP on it like? Oh and any way you could post your chart/link to your FF page?
I am sooooo so happy for you, so very glad your hard work and heartache from TTCing so long were not in vain. Your story is such a hopeful one for both long term TTCers/swayers and older moms. Enjoy your daughter! Is she your last baby?
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Congrats!
Mom to
and my IVF/PGD
It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".

Thanks so much Maiden! This little girl is totally worth the wait, heartache and tears that I went thru. Unfortunately she is my last, but we definitely feel complete. This was my 2 time on femera. First time was with RE I did 2.5 mg and had trigger. Think my LP was 15 days. This time I did on my own and did 5 mg with timed intercourse. It was basically my last attempt so I really was not expecting it to work! I don't think I actually would have stopped trying but I was just mentally drained from it. My chart is pretty lame because I was very inconsistent temping but I will try to link it.

I thought you'd do better on Femara so I'm glad to hear that it didn't have the same negative effects that Clomid did. Your chart is actually quite helpful, the pattern is clear, though I do suspect you Oed a day later. How dark was your first BFP? Was it a squinter or proper line? Have you had early BFPs before, if so how early?
Thanks for answering all my questions!

You know, this is one of those "no man left behind" sways that took every iota of determination and reading the add your sway does not do justice to how hard a journey this was for you!!! We went through so many ups and downs but just kept regrouping and moving forward and I am so so so overjoyed DJ, thank you for your tenacity and never giving up even when I know there were tons of times you wanted to!!!!!
