Anyone taking Femara?

Question

I have been ttc for a few years. I had a blighted ovum in Summer 2013 and haven't been able to conceive since then. This month, my husband and I went in for all the jeccasry testing. His analysis came back normal but my hormones are a bit on the low side so my Dr. prescribed Femara. I have been reaearchig Femara and side effects. I am just a little scared because from what I understand it is not FDA approved for infertility. I would just like to hear your experiences with this medication. Thx!

Answer

Not that this helps you but..for my treatment plan. I'm supposed to do femara.. But I have to pay for everything out of pocket because insurance won't cover it.. And its like $1500/month.. 2 ultrasounds..a trigger shot.. The femara is what is cheap haha. Were still trying on our own for now.. But if I didn't have to pay for it I'd be on it!  Good Luck!

Answer

I took Letrozole which is the generic version. I didn't have any side effects. It was $75 for 10 pills but insurance covered all but $8. My progesterone level was 5.6 before Letrozole and 13.1 after.

Answer

It took it for 4 cycles, did well, got pregnant ;)

Answer
