Default New to this board

I have been lurking a little over the last few weeks. I hang out on a few other boards but had a few ??? and thought I'd post and see what input you ladies have.

I am currently on a break after having my son via ivf in may last year. We have 8 embries on ice and plan on an fet in the fall. I started having really bad pain from my endo about 4 months ago. I had surgery back in 06 to have stage 4 endo removed and to put the lt tube and ovary back where they belonged. The re decided that it would be best to put me on the depo lupron and femara to see how I respond. This is my 3rd dose of the Lupron so I have 3 more months on the meds. Here are the questions:

Have any of you been on this regiment?
How long after coming off was your best chance to get pg?
How long if you weren't trying to conceive where you on the femara?

I know that I have others but they have left me at the moment. I'll post them when they come back. Most likey in the middle of the night.

First of all Welcome. I will have never done Lupron so I can't be of much help there and as far as the Femara goes I took it one cycle and it produced one 15.5mm follice for me so I had to add follistim injections with the Femara. BUT I know many women on here who have gotten pregnant from Femara alone-it def. works! Look at the top of the femara page and there are a ton of success stories. Welcome again!
Hopefully someone else can help answer some more of your questions-
Congrats of the babies-they are beautiful!!
