I've been on Femara for the last few cycles to try to keep my prog up. It wasn't getting up there, so last cycle we doubled my dosage to 5mg a day, which is the max dosage recommended. Today I got my results and my day 21 is LOWER than last month. Not only did DOUBLING the dose not work but my levels DROPPED! To make it worse the nurse told me my doc is out of the country for two weeks so there isn't anything they can do this time until he gets back. She'll go ahead and have me do the 5 mg of Femara again this cycle even though we KNOW that it doesn't work. I know everyone needs a vacation but this is the 3rd time my doc has been away since July and it seems like everytime he leaves it somehow ends up putting me a month back. The nurse said, it was still possible for me to be preg this month so I went ahead and tested and OF COURSE got a BFN. She said after this next cycle, which I guess is already a done deal we won't get preg, the doc will probably switch me to Clomid. I don't know if that'll help! I ovulate, I just have too low progesterone. I am so upset and disappointed! I told her that it seemed strange that this Femara was supposed to help but it has now been twice as long as it has EVER taken us to get pregnant. I'M ON A FERTILITY DRUG AND IT HAS TAKEN ALREADY TWICE AS LONG TO GET PREGNANT! SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE! All she said is "well I can't do anything until Dr. Smith gets back". And by then another cycle is wasted. I guess af is coming because I am super emotional right now and this is putting me over the edge. Sorry this is so long, I'm just SO disappointed and angry.
That sucks!
