Anyone experienced side effects of letrozole? anyone switched from letrozole to clomid?
My doctor prefers letrozole to clomid, and seems to believe that the side effects are fewer with a higher success rate. I've taken 3 rounds of letrozole now,.. January was 2.5mg and we ovulated! The worst of the side effects was cramping and hot flashes. We had a biochemical pregnancy, but the good news was we now know we can get pregnant! February I didn't respond to the 5 days of 2.5mg so the doctor increased it to 5mg for another 5 days. Yesterday was day 3 and I had to stop. No cramps this month, but other side effects. Woke up yesterday with lock jaw and my entire face is swollen and so so painful. My head is pounding and My teeth hurt! Had to eat mashed potatoes for dinner and even that was a task. Muscle spasms in my legs, sweats, hot flashes and an overall feeling of crawling in my skin.
I feel like I'm in a battle with myself and I can't help but question if stopping was the right decision. Did I give up too soon? Is this normal? Do others just suck it up and deal with this? I only had 3 days left,. Should I have kept quiet and just finished? Etc.
I see the doctor tomorrow and hope he has another idea. Maybe the dose was just too much, maybe we can try clomid, I'll do anything at this point. The nurse said the side effects I'm experiencing are very rare, but serious nonetheless. Has anyone else experienced this or something similar??
Has anyone switched from letrozole to clomid and had success?
