TTC Girl Month 8... this time with Femara
Long-time reader, first time poster!
I have spoken with Atomic and she has been incredibly gracious to give me her opinion, which I plan on following. I have one toddler son (shettles opposite, but he is my everything), and am trying to conceive for our second and potentially last baby. Praying that I might get that daughter I've dreamt of and longed for for so many years!
It took 4 cycles to conceive my son, although 2 of those Shettles attempts were so far out I don't think I had a chance. To conceive him, we BD daily until 0-1.
To summarize:
We did 4 months of one attempt followed by 3 months of e4d (72 hours) with one additional attempt at pos OPK.
I'm currently in my 8th cycle of TTC (I am almost 34), this time with Femara. My blood work came back mostly normal (low blood sugar and thyroid of 2.5 which is slightly high) and did say I was ovulating, so my doctor says Femara will trigger "super ovulation." Husband's sperm sample came back a normal sperm count and quantity but had some clumps, so she advised him to take Mucinex during my fertile week. I'm on cycle day 10 and the headache side effects are not my friend, but trying to remain positive!
I plan on ttc e4d (72 hours) with one attempt at pos OPK. My goal is to have one attempt at pos OPK (O-1) and no other attempt in O-3, O-2 or O day.
For those of you who took many months trying to get your girl... at what point did you loosen up? Of course everything you read says to ttc every other day to get pregnant, and I think after trying for 6+ months we all start to lose some hope (even if we give ourselves pep talks, which I certainly do!). But even if I get another precious boy, I want to know that I did everything I could so I don't have to wonder "what if" if this is in fact our last baby.
I guess all of this to say, looking for some encouragement or positive Femara stories. Thank you to those who read this!
