Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM .

Letrozole you are taking have harmful side effects . So I suggest you to discuss with your doctor regarding use of alternative drugs.

Ovulation inducing drugs like clomephine are used as first line for ovulation disorders. It is comparatively safer then letrozole and can be taken for 3 to 6 cycles. It helps multiple follicles to mature and rupture . Thus increasing chances of pregnancy.

If clomephine fails then second line of drug used is fsh injection along with clomephine. Letrozole is routinely used at later stages when all other drugs fails because of its harmful side effects.

Hope I have been helpful .

Regards
