I’ve had success. I saw a gynaecologist first, but that was to be refered to a fertility clinic. The fertility clinic just recently referred me to an endocrinologist.

Femara Success?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Kansas City, MO

My husband and I have been TTC for 6 yrs. After finally finding a good dr and getting my PCOS diagnosis I have been on Metformin 1000mg twice a day. I had an HSG done, labs and US. Everything is now looking normal. I finished my Femara 2.5mg twice a day for 5 days last week and I have my ultrasound to look at follicles tomorrow. I’m so so anxious and hoping this is it. Does anyone have any Femara success stories?

Femara worked for me! It's my miracle drug 😍! I did many failed rounds of clomid this year and last until I switched to Femara. I've got Femara online (a way cheaper). My friend said just search on… read more

Has anyone tried this after not having success on Clomid?

A myPCOSteam Member

Yes. I ovulated earlier with Femara and conceived twins on my second round. With Clomid, I had many unsuccessful rounds, even at high doses, and had terrible side effects. No side effects with Femara!

Broadview Heights, OH

I have been officially TTC since July 2016. I started Clomid in May 2018 and just finished my 3rd cycle of it... and hoping for a BFP in a couple weeks!!! My obgyn referred me to a Reproductive endocrinologist who ordered a sperm count for my S.O., bloodwork and an HSG test for myself. Has anyone had an HSG test? I'm just wondering what all it entails and if it's super painful. She is also switching me to Femara next month d/t the horrendous side effects of the Clomid (severe abdominal pain… read more

I also preferred femara. I had a horrible case of the clomid crazies. I experienced bloating and pain with both pills but Clomid made me cry like an idot.

The HSG wasn't too bad. I had a very… read more

Montrose, CO

I struggle with my weight so badly. It's frustrating I eat small portions, exercise, and eat mostly non- processed food, I don't know what else to do I lost a bunch and then gained it all back and then some and I didn't do anything differently. I've also had 6 miscarriages. I'm so frustrated with my body and even with antidepressants I feel suicidal. People are so mean to me because of my weight and try as I might I just keep going up.

What Type Of Medicines Are Out There For PCOS?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Harvest, AL

I’m looking for different ways to help my PCOS.
I’ve taken metformin in the past with no luck. Im currently trying out inositol. I’m having issues with weight gain and infertility. I’ve tried metformin paired with several rounds of clomid. Still no luck. I’m trying to maintain healthy eating with exercise along with trying out metformin again. Still no luck.

Does Anyone Have Any Femara Success Stories?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Indianapolis, IN

I was just told by my OBGYN about 2 weeks ago that my labs indicated I have PCOS so she prescribed me femara to try to help my husband and I get pregnant. Has anyone here used femara and gotten pregnant? How long did it take for it to work for you? Did you have any side effects from it?

Columbia, SC

Can anyone tell me if they have ever been on METFORMIN ER 500 MG? I have been on this for a fee years now and no pregnancy results. I use to have a cycle monthly with this but have not seen a cycle since March of this year. If anyone has been on this, please tell me your experience.

Be sure to ask for clarification on the recall for Metformin.
