Clomid vs Femara
 | Clomid |  | Femara |  |
| This medication is used to treat infertility in women. It works by stimulating an increase in the amount of hormones that support the growth and release of a mature egg (ovulation). This medication is not recommended for women whose ovaries no longer make eggs properly (primary pituitary or ovarian failure). | This medication is used to treat certain types of breast cancer (such as hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer) in women after menopause. Letrozole is also used to help prevent the cancer from returning. Some breast cancers are made to grow faster by a natural hormone called estrogen. Letrozole decreases the amount of estrogen the body makes and helps to slow or reverse the growth of these breast cancers. | |||

| Add Clomid review My husband and I were having trouble conceiving and when we went to the doctor I was diagnosed with PCOS. He put me on clomid and on the first dose I was pregnant and with twins!!! My doctor had told us it could take up to 6 months. He thinks the reason we got pregnant so fast is because of our age we were both 22. Now I am happy to say we have 2 beautiful and happy children (a boy and a girl) and t are about to turn 1month old!!! I hope all of you get what you are looking for and never lose hope !!! I wish you all the best of luck and I would recommend clomid to anyone who is having issues conceiving! God bless I was on Depo shots for several years without the DRs taking me off of it (planned parenthood). Its not meant to be taken for several yrs at a time. It has been 7yrs since I stopped taking it. There is the slight chance that I may not be able to get pregnant and have started seeing a new DR, who put me on Clomid (in Jan 2013. I have begun ovulating and also keeping track of everything with an App called My Days Plus. We are truely hoping this with help us concieve our first child!!! I will keep you posted!!! | Add Femara review after 4 years of taking the medicine I have start having depression, anxious and stress feeling have not talk to my Dr. as yet. I am a 2x breast cancer survivor, diagnosed with the second 2 1/2 years after the 1st cancer all the while taking Femara. I had a lumpectomy and 30 rounds of radiation after the first cancer. I did not have chemo because I had the Oncotype DX breast cancer multigene expression test that determined my chance of ever getting breast cancer again in my lifetime was very low, wrong! I have now been on Femara for 4 years and I don't believe I have suffered any side effects that don't come with being postmenopausal anyway. Talk to any postmenopausal woman to see how they suffer. I will continue the Femara as long as my Oncologist recommends for she is the expert. My best advice is to join a gym and take some group exercise classes, you will feel better and be happier! I have been dicussing discontinuing FEMARA FOR MONTHS NOW...MY DR.INSIST I CONTINUE WAS SWITCHED ONE TO ARIMIDEX,,,WORST, S0 SWITCHED BACK..SIDE EFFECTS...BONE/JOINT PAIN. INSOMNIA, STOMACH PAIN AND REFLUX...RECENTLY HAD UPPER EIG...SHOWED EROSION IN UPPER ESOPHAGUS.(BARRETTS)DON T KNOW IF RELATED...MY BREAST CANCER WILL BE NOTHING IF I CONTINUED TO SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS FROM THE BARRETS...WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS SIDE EFFECT FROM THIS MED....DR.
