398038 tn?1247857003 One of the earliest studies using letrozole as a fertility drug looked at 12 women with inadequate response to clomiphene citrate. Ovulation on letrozole occurred in 9 of 12 cycles and 3 patients conceived. A later study by the same investigators compared the effects of letrozole to those of clomiphene citrate. This time 19 women were studied. Ten women received clomiphene citrate and nine women received letrozole.
Avatar f tn I have looked at different types and am a bit confused as to what is the difference between clomiphene citrate (brand) and clomid(generic)/ ovinum. The price for 30 50mg clomiphene citrate tablets is £151 but for the generic version for 30 50mg tablets its only £60. Does one work better than the other? please help am really desperate now!

538782 tn?1213809348 t know whether to take the generic or name brand. Ive been taken the generic(clomiphene citrate) for the past two cycles with no luck.. Dr said he would rather me be on the brand name. It is more expensive. I don't know what to do. So If anyone is out there, please let me know before I go and pick up my rx in a few minutes.
Avatar m tn Hi There! On my first round of Letrozole(Femara) and no ovulating is showing. Anyone not ovulate the first month, but then start next couple months, or is this med not like that?? I don't feel the best on it, but will try anything. Had our first little guy a year ago with in vitro. We can't afford that route again, so hoping we are blessed by just doing prescription helpers. But I don't want to keep taking something that makes me feel awful if it isn't going to kick in.
579134 tn?1217868698 I'm on my first cycle of Clomiphene 50mg. I was wondering if I could get some feedback on when others started noticing any side effects. I'm taking them cd 5-9, and i'm only on cd 8 now. I'm an pretty emotional person as it is under the best of conditions so i'm hoping to get a little foresight on when I should really make sure i'm paying attn, as it could just be the clomiphene. I've got a couple of busy weeks comeing up...

Avatar n tn HI, Women with PCOS often have a problem with ovulation and hence may need medical help. Induction of ovulation with either clomiphene or letrozole usually gives good results. However you need to be in touch with your Doctor to prevent side effects of the drugs. These drugs can be used for 3 to 6 months. The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor.
Avatar f tn Hi there, Ovi mit is clomiphene citrate which is an ovulation inducing drug. It is used in women to regulate ovulation or induce ovulation in those who are not ovulating at all. This drug helps stimulate the egg follicles resulting in improved egg production and ovulation. If there is no ovulation on initial dosage the dosage may be increased to a maximum of 200mg per day. It is usually prescribed for a maximum of six cycles.

Avatar f tn I am 21 also ttc with pcos. I went to Monterrey Mexico to a fertility specialist who is helping me with my pcos he put me on bcp and Metformin and in a couple months I'm starting clomiphene citrate again for the 3rd time. Dont let doctors tell you that you are too young for treatment its never too early to begin treatment for pcos if it is left untreated symptoms could worsen drastically.
1907238 tn?1340711313 Hello, Metformin is basically used in type 2 diabetes and is used in PCOS. However Metformin has been used off-label to achieve pregnancy and when taken with clomiphene citrate, metformin enhances the probability of ovulation and pregnancy. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
178590 tn?1294176767 If you are over 35 I would get a CD 3 FSH or do a clomiphene citrate challenge test to evaluate Ovarian reserve/reproductive age. If under 35, test for proof of ovulation. Hope this helps.
