Weight gain with Femara/Letrozole
Has anyone else experienced weight gain as a side effect of using
Femara
/Letrozole for fertility treatment? I'm on my 6th cycle of
Femara
and have gained weight, mainly in the mid section, and am struggling to put on clothes that fit before.

Ovaries did not respond to stimulation drugs
I took Genatropin 0.5, Gonal f 225, Letrozol 2x1 and
Femara
1 tablet per day. On my previous cycles medications worked really well. I don't know what happened I feel sad and down. Has anyone experienced the same?

No response to stims day 6 scan
Hi guys,After 5 days on Gonal F 300 and
Femara
, I've had my 1st scan and I am beside myself. There has been no response from either ovary. I have unexplained infertility and my AMH isn't bad for a 39 year old either. Doctor says to wait and re-evaluate in 3 days time.

cancer marker 15-3
She started her second line treatment about 7 weeks ago after being on Ibrance and
Femara
for around 2 and half years. She is now on faslodex and anfintor. Does this mean its not working ? And if it’s not will they change both meds or just one of them? Thank so much

bumped up moms scans
She’s been on ibrance /
femara
2 years 9 months. Anfintor / Faslodex only like 6 or 7 weeks. And now Xeloda . We are trying to get her in for a second opinion at Duke also. Have any of you whipped thru the meds like this and found something to work?

one more tumor marker question?
This is her second line treatment after ibrance and
femara
that worked for over 2 years. My question is I have seen some peoples 15-3 markers in over the 4,000 vs moms at 332. And being able to get markers as high as the thousands back to normal levels.

Soy Isoflavens and Black Cohosh
I am having a nightmare getting my gp to prescribe
Femara
(she isnt a fertility expert and we have now cut ties with our clinic). We considered a mild ivf cycle, but we have to postpone this idea for financial reasons. I am going to try soy isolflavens. I am on cycle day 2.

Tamoxifen switch to Femara (letrozole)
My doctor has prescribed
Femara
to see if I do any better. Does anyone have experience on
Femara
(letrozole) ? Curious about real-world side effects.

Late ovulation on Letrozole/Femara?
Hi all, I did a medicated cycle last months (5 days of letrozole + HCG trigger + progesterone pessaries for luteal phase). By day 14 I was experiencing usual ovulation signs and the follicle was large enough, so I was triggered day 14. This cycle i'm away so I am unmonitored. It's day 14 and i've

Letrozole / Femara - risk of ovarian cysts?
Hi all! I'm on my second cycle of letrozole for ovulation induction and this one is unmonitored. The nurse assured me there were minimal side effects, but reading the leaflet I got a bit worried as ovarian cysts were mentioned as a possible side effect! I was wondering how common this was, if anybody

Ubiquinol/Coq10- Impact on cycle length
hello everyone , I have recently started Coq10. I think it has been around 20 days or so. I have switched to Ubiquinol last week and have notice I came on my periods a week earlier. I have a regular cycle and changes in length happens very rarely so I am confused whether it’s due to Coq10. Has anyone

Ubiquinol or Ubiquinone???
I'm taking Coq10 in the lead up to my 2nd IVF egg retrieval in the hope of improving egg quality (along with diet changes). Most of my eggs were immature in the 1st round leading to poor results...I've noticed many people recommend Uniquinol and I've just noticed I've been taking Ubiquinone. I bought

Exercise and infertility
Hi everyone, The arrival of another period has sent me into another frenzy of Googling and questioning absolutely everything I'm doing. My period was a couple of days late and stupidly allowed myself to hope that it had finally happened 😞 So this mornings panic is - am I doing too much exercise,

ubiquinone vs ubiquinol
I have just realised my Coq10 I’ve been taking for three months is ubiquinone form. I just thought I was taking ubiquinol 😫 Been doing 300mg twice a day. I’m worried I’ve missed a trick now. I’ve ordered some ubiquinol now but I’m starting downreg in about three weeks. Thoughts please lovely people

Letrozole(Femara) /joint pain threads continued.....
Tried the brand name of Letrozole -
Femara
- because some people reported the brand name was better on joint pain. It was no different for me and much more costly so I went back to Letrozole. For me, the pain has slowly gotten worse the last 3 1/2 years.
