Femara (Letrozole)

Femara is an oral drug that can effectively stimulate the ovulation process in some women who have polycystic ovaries & anovulation issues.

Some of the women don’t respond and ovulate during Clomid but react well to letrozole. Moreover, some women who do ovulate with Clomid but can never get pregnant with it,

Injectable medication Gonadotropins (FSH Hormones)
