Still can't decide between Clomid or Femara?
I keep hearing good and bad things about both of them?
I'm worried because I have Severe Endometriosis and that is affected by Estrogen and the lining is affected "I think"?
Both Clomid and Femara have negative affects on both of these I believe?
Which should I do? I'll see what my doc has to say next week though first.
ETA: I will not be doing an IUI or anything. I'm trying to produce stronger eggs/ovulation. I do ovulate every month. At least so far! LOL!

I don't think that you should be "deciding" which drug to take; IMHO any decisions perscriptions should be made by your OBGYN

Oh, I know. That's her call. I'm just trying to figure out if I prefer one over the other. I keep reading bad things about them, but also good things too!
We've already discussed Clomid briefly, I've never mentioned Femara. She may not like it at all? I'll have to wait and see what she says. I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on here what they thought. Thanks!

femara 10000%.
it has less detrimental side effects than clomid - specifically the thinning of the lining.
also, i had no response to clomid and good response to femara - although its not a fair comparison because i did clomid alone and femara with injectables..

Re: Still can't decide between Clomid or Femara?
I took clomid back in August and HATED it !! It made me cramp soooooo bad, and I had the worst hot flashes. When AF came after it was here for about a day and a half - usually I have it for 4 days - so obviously my lining was WAY thinner.
These past 2 months I have taken Femara - and the only side effect is that about 15 minutes after I take it I am ready to fall asleep. That's it though - nothing else. Last month when I got AF she was here for about 5 days - so my lining was thicker.
Also - go to the FEMARA WEBSITE and print the coupon for the free 30 day trial - It WORKS !! I brought it to CVS and walked out later with 30 - 2.5 mg tabs. That's a three month supply for me - ABSOLUTLY FREE !!!!
You have to print the coupon that has the code and have your dr. fill that out and bring it along with a perscription for 30 days to a pharmacy. My dr. wrote on the perscription "take as directed" and directed me in the office to take 2- 2.5 mg tabs each night before bed.]
Good luck & HTH !!!

I go to Dr. B, he prescribed Femara, he said its a newer better drug, less side effects.
