Anastrozole for infertility?

Has anyone used or are currently using Anastrozole to treat infertility?  What is your opinion and/or experience.  I used clomid for 5 months to treat low estrogen and progesterone levels, clomid did not help.  I am experiencing secondary infertility.  My dr. is suggesting using Anastrozole in combination with IUI and I have not hear or seen a lot about Anastrozole.  Any suggestions or advice?

I took a similar medication, Letrozole, after having no luck with Clomid. My progesterone tests were better with Letrozole, and I was told that it doesn't thin out the uterine lining like Clomid does. I noticed fewer side effects with it compared to Clomid, too. I only tried it for 2 cycles before my obgyn referred me to an RE, though.

Sorry, I can't give you more information about it. I do think I have a Letrozole link saved though. I could post it for you if you'd like.

Anastrozole and Letrozole (Femara) are both aromatose inhibitors, so I think they work the same way. Here's the link on Letrozole:
