Femara/ Letrazole semi-success

Well I have had semi-success with Letrazole I suppose.

Over the past 3.5 years, I tried 3 rounds Clomid (too moody, bad CM), 3 times Follistim, IUI's without any drugs, trying natural with acupuncture for a year, and then This year I have tried Letrazole 3 times and got pregnant 2 out of 3 of those times.

So the bad news is I have had miscarriages which were early pre 6 weeks.

The good news is I had never had a + pregnancy test prior. The other good news, there's relatively little side effects for me. Maybe a little moody and headachey for a day or two but it moves out of your system quickly.

I have noticed it does not affect my CM at all, it helped alleviate some of my midcycle bleeding which I'd had previously, keeps my cycles on the shorter end (which means we get to try again in a shorter time), and with the Ovidrel booster I get such serious cramps I know exactly when I am ovulating which helps with timing a lot.

I hope it's successful in the end! Stay tuned and best wishes for everyone.
