good luck!!

Atomic, I had my appointment today as my babysitter got sick last time. It went a bit different than planned because I had a very very faint bfp this morning and my doc was only talking about betas. But when I asked him about femara if this would not turn out to be a viable pregnancy he told me he can prescribe it to me and that I would have to take it from CD15-25. Then I realized he thought femara was progesterone [emoji85] So he has never heard of femara before, but he might give me clomid. I'm really hoping I won't need it though [emoji4]

Oh wow huge congrats! I like that your temp is nice and high still (I sneaked a peek at your chart!!)

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that I will miscarry. My tests didn't get any darker than squinter stage and since a few days they are only getting lighter... I think I should start to bleed soon, at least when my tests get negative? I really hope it goes quick and uncomplicated. Could I count the start of the bleeding as CD1 and directly take clomid that cycle?

I saw you started a chart, did AF come?

I'm so sorry to hear it didn't work out this month. Chemicals are generally uncomplicated and yes you just treat it like a period and start your Clomid on the appropriate day BUT (and this is very very important) you MUST take a pregnancy test the day you're due to start the Clomid in case the pregnancy actually is viable. You can have a period and even get a negative test earlier in the cycle and still be pregnant. Please 100% for sure take a pregnancy test the day you are meant to start the Clomid.

Thank you atomic! Yes, "AF" arrived two days ago, but it is a bit lighter than a normal AF (maybe 70% of my last AF) and it's stopping now already. I thought it would be heavier? I hope this doesn't mean this isn't the final bleeding... I will see my doc tomorrow, hopefully he can see via ultrasound if the lining is gone. I'll ask for clomid then as well and also to check that my beta has decreased to non-pregnancy values. Thank you for all your support! [emoji173]️

Lots of us notice a lighter flow on sway diets and chemicals do not always (or even usually) lead to extra heavy bleeding. Most chemicals are just whatever your period was going to be that month. I don't think that is anything out of the ordinary. So sorry this one didn't work out - FX for better news very soon.

Omg my doc prescribed me femara 2.5 mg today! I didn't expect that at all but I think he saw how sad I was and wanted to give me something to cheer me up.

I'm a bit overwhelmed what to do now. My doc also saw on ultrasound that there is still some lining left and he was not sure if it was just normal lining, that would bleed off within the next days, or if it was "polypous tissue". I will have to go for a repeat scan next week but he gave me the femara so I think it safe to take it even if there is a polyp?

I'm on CD4 now an I ususally ovulate on CD13. Would it be better to start today or tomorrow? If possible I would rather prefer to ovulate earlier than later. From your experience when could I roughly expect ovulation on femara?

I suspect that if it had been problematic he'd have booked you in for surgery right away. It was probably very small and probably is just normal lining that will come away. I would go ahead and take the Femara - the risk is that you may have a slightly higher chance of miscarriage but most people don't ever even know they have one (and we don't know that you have one)

I would take the Femara either today or tomorrow. There's no difference, both are fine. You will ovulate 5-10 days after the last dose of Femara MOST of the time but occasionally it takes a bit longer.

Again, thank you so much for all your help atomic! Your answer really calmed me down a lot yesterday and I took the first pill because I somehow hope that I will ovulate a day earlier then as well.

I read that using opks after clomid might not work (false positives / negatives). Is it the same with femara? My hubby still is not actively trying (although he knows about the miscarriage and that I'm taking femara) and if I can't rely on opks this month it might get a bit tricky to bd in a pattern like E4D...
