Letrozole vs. Clomid

[KRM29]

Done 3 rounds of clomid and I ovulated only on one cycle. The NHS have advised me to increase to 100mg but I can't even begin to think about the side effects again!!

My private doctor has recommended letrozole 2.5mg because it more effective with PCOS and limited side effects.

Has anyone tried letrozole?

Yes Clomid is 1st line for NHS. I've tried both and had no side effects with Letrozole

That's great news. Did letrozole work for you?

Only tried it for 3 months then we moved to ivf. Recently had a op for Endometriosis so going to try naturally for the next 6 months, doc has given it to us again x

I haven’t tried letrezole, I’m being prescribed clomid. Do you mind me asking what the side effects were? X

Weight gain, acne, nausea/vomiting, massively bloated!
