Tamoxifen vs. Clomid

Hi, just wondering if anyone has used or is using Tamoxifen for and IUI cycle? Dr. discussed switching me next cycle from Femara. It doesn't seem as popular of a choice. How does is compare to Clomid?

Kell77 Tamoxifen and clomid are a lot a like. My doc has me doing tamoxifen because the clomid was to hard on my lining. Tamoxifen did the same thing the clomid did but I didn't have the side effects associated with the clomid. Plus it is cheap which helps a lot. This month I am doing tamoxifen with a couple of booster shots of menopur. So far so good, my lining was great and I have 2 follies this cycle.

I hope that helps a little. Good luck to you=)
