Letrozole - Is this just me?

CaraH

I'm at the end of CD3 after two consecutive cycles using oral Letrozole and Ovidrel.  Last week we decided against another IUI and to just take a break from meds while gearing up for IVF.  I told my husband that they make me feel awful, and I really thought two consecutive months was my limit.  (We also did two months in the fall and then were benched the next month.)  So, instead of taking another dose tonight, my hormones have gotten to stabilize. 

Oh my goodness, I can not even tell you how much better I feel.  All the generalized anxiety and weepiness of the last two months disappeared.  I have been incredibly productive today, and I realized tonight its because nothing felt overwhelming.  All that stuff that's been making me crazy?  I just did it.  Even all my fears and angst about IVF magically disappeared, and I'm back to a normal level of hesitation. 

The thing is, I've never heard this about letrozole.  I know clomid is jokingly referred to as 'clomad' and has a reputation for being rough on the hormonal emotions.  But, no one seems to say that about letrozole.  Is that just because its not quite as ubiquitous or am I just particularly sensitive to it?
