I've been having infertility issues for a couple years now.

Without getting into it all, we're now at a point where I've been prescribed femara to assist.

However my dr has scared the shit out of me with regards to side effects and risk of multiples.

I got the impression that she thought I didn't necessarily need it but was happy to try it out for a few cycles.

You see, I do ovulate however it's just inconsistent. Sometimes I will and sometimes I won't. We have a 3.5 year old so are concerned with the age gap just getting bigger as the years tick by.

Now I'm in two minds about whether the risks outweigh the positives though.

Am I best to keep trucking on without it and accept that some months I don't ovulate but other times I will. But time is of the essence for us.

I think I'm just scared of the risks of the cysts and I don't really want increased chances of a multiple pregnancy.

So confused now. Today is the day I'm supposed to start the meds and I'm really unsure. I went in knowing that I wanted the meds but now my dr has seriously made me second guess the decision. Help!
