Femara

So, I have decided to try Femara. Femara is a drug that is commonly used for patients who have breast cancer. No, I do not have breast cancer. Femara has recently within the past few years, been used as an infertility drug as well.

I decided against using Clomid for a few different reasons. The main ones being that it can cause the lining in the uterus to thin, among other things. It also stays in the body a long time.

Femara stays in the body a shorter time and doesn't cause the same problems that Clomid does. So, I figured why not. When I asked my doctor about it he told me that I could try it if I wanted, and that it was a "low risk drug" whatever that means.

I figured this would be a good way to document how I feel on it. I took my first pill today. So far, I just feel jittery. Almost like I drank a big thing of caffeinated pop. It's like feeling on the edge of hyperness, but controllable. I don't feel irritable. Actually quite the opposite. I feel HAPPY! I do feel sort of lightheaded and tired, but not really. So, we'll see how I feel as I continue.

Like Clomid you only take Femara for 5 days. So, only 4 more to go!
