Chelee,
I was reading your post and noticed on your signature that you're still producing estrogen after ooph! I had an ooph in May and was put on Femara but have never had any tests to confirm that my body isn't producing estrogen. Did they just test you routinely or what happened? Did you know you were producing estrogen? How would I know?

Thank you!

Beth
