Neg O-Trying Femara

Hey Everyone,
So this is my first post on this forum. My husband and I have been TTC with PCOS since October (I know not 12+ months, but I thought it would be okay to post here since I have a diagnosed issue). I have lost 22 pounds and we were hoping for a non medicated O this month. Day 21 progesterone test was negative. I will be taking Provera to induce a period and then trying Femara (my first round of fertility drugs). Has anyone tried that? I am curious if anyone can give me info about side effects and any success stories.
Thanks Ladies!

    I had very minimal side effects. Clomid was much worse. I can say it was a success in that I did ovulate predictably and all by all indications things worked like they should. In the sense that I did not end up pregnant, however, not a success. I'm doing IVF now and spend most of my time on the Infertility board. Good luck! I hope it does the trick for you!

    No success stories yet (I'm not the norm, it does work well for most people) but I have taken a lot of femara. The side effects are not bad- I was a little more tired than usual, had some headaches and a couple hot flashes. All very minor though, nothing compared to clomid.
