Talk to me about Letrazole....

Hey all - you can see by my ticker that I am on to my next treatment cycle.  RE wants to do Letrazole this cycle instead of the Clomid I have done for the last 3.  I go in for b/w and u/s tomorrow, but I am wondering if anyone has used Letrazole before and can tell me if you take CD3-7 or 5-9 like Clomid, or if it is different?

Reason being that I am leaving on Wednesday to go OOT, and want to make sure this doesn't interfere with anything. (I don't think it should).

Also, any side effects to expect? TIA!

    I like Letrazole so much better than Clomid!  I take it CD3-7.  I literally have no side effects except for more CM which is a good thing.  No hot flashes or mood swings like I had on Clomid either.  Good luck!

    I do CD 3 thru 7. I experienced some pretty awful headaches and other aches and pains, but I also had a really bad cold at the time. It's hard to say which symptoms were from the medication. GL!

    Please don't get it from Walmart. They will charge you out the ars for it. Walgreens, target and Costco have it for 10 or less depending on dosage.

    For me, I take it cd 3 to 7, two pills at once for 5 mg total. The first two cycles I had some headaches. This cycle I haven't had any side effects. My CM is great and haven't had any lining issues with it at all.
