I started Femara for my IUI at the end of the month. I have not used this medication before, does it have the same side effects as clomid? Oh I hope not, that stuff made me bat sh@t crazy.

    No experience. But ITA about Clomid. That is some evil stuff. 

    Hopefully it won't be too bad. Good luck.

    I haven't taken clomid in about 2 years. MH said one of the girls mentioned it at his work the other day, and he gave her an earful. Apparently he still remembers too!! LOL

    I went through 2 rounds of Femara earlier this year and I didn't have many side effects... Maybe a little more emotional, but nothing too bad! I liked it better than Clomid at least!

    I am on my last dose tonight, and it was nothing like clomid IMO. I did text MH this morning saying "oh my medicine is making me cryee".
