    Femara ovulation question

    For those who took femara did it delay ovulation for you and also did it dry you out too?

    I took femara 2.5 mg cd 4-8. I usually ovulate cd 13.
    My OPKs around this time are not as light as they are right now.
    Just wondering if femara will delay ovulation for me.

    Thanks

    If you have normal, regular cycles and don't O late, as in your case, then when taking Femara or Clomid you will most likely O 7 days after the last dose. So Femara isn't delaying O, just controlling when you O. Hope that makes sense!

    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 remověng 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

    try this calculator http://r.duckduckgo.com/l/?kh=-1&udd...ion-calculator

    It can change when you O, so be aware. No way to predict if or how.

    Femara is not suposed to dry you up like Clomid does, but then again, anything is possible.
