alternative to clomid

[DISNEY CHICK]

Is there any other meds that I can take that might work a bit better then clomid.  I tried clomid this month and it did not work, I would like to try something different but I don't know what meds to ask my doctor about
thanks girls

Also femara works differently than clomid.  clomid binds to the estrogen receptor blocking the real estrogen from binding.  This makes you brain think estrogen is low (even though it really is not) and you will ovulate.  Femara on the other hand inhibits an enzyme that actually makes the estrogen therefore it actually lowers your estrogen level.  This also then makes you ovulate.  Anyways femara is a good alternative, especially for those who had little success with clomid.  Be aware thought that it does cause birth defects if taken when you are ALREADY pregnant so just be sure you  are NOT pregnant when taking this drug.  It has a very short half life and is gone by the time implantation occurs and because of this it does not thin the uterine lining.  Clomid hangs around for a month or more.

yes i got pregnant on the first cycle of femara.  i never tried clomid because i felt femara would be better for me.

I've heard Femara can work well, and less neg. s/e than Clomid.

I've never taken Clomid but I've heard women would get the dosage upped if it didn't work the first time.  I think they start off with 50mg and go up to 100mg or something like that.

Good luck!!
