Femara works better for me than Clomid. It is a new drug being tried by many REs for fertifility patients and the success rate is good. It depends on your body's reactions to drugs...I definitely respond better with Femara than Clomid

It only has a 1/2 life. It is actually out of your system much sooner than Clomid. I have done several rounds of it myself and like it overall much more than Clomid. I didn't develop cysts like I did on Clomid and never had s/e. I just did another round after a break, this cycle. Hopefully, it will be the one. We'll know in a few more days.
