For Female Infertility "I started searching for side effects for letrozole and came across this site. I have been trying to get pregnant for 3 months, first on Clomid and now on letrozole, 2.5 mg for 5 days. The side effects are horrendous and scary. I am not spotting, I am practically bleeding as though I have my period, and the joint pain is off the charts. This is my 3rd day. After reading all the wonderful comments here, I took the 4th pill and will take the last one tomorrow. I am still a bit skeptical about what exactly is causing this amount of bleeding and honestly scared. It’s the weekend, otherwise, I would have called my doctor. Does anyone else have these side effects? Wishing you all lots of luck and baby dust! :)"

Letrozole for Breast Cancer, Adjuvant "I have been on Femara for five years now. I have had some side effects like dizziness and slight joint pain. All in all, if it keeps breast cancer away, I am happy to take the medication."
