I tried Clomid and didn't ovulate on any dosage level that I tried (50, 100, 150). I took it days 3-7 and didn't have too many side effects with it. I am on my third cycle of Femara (5 mg), taking it days 3-7. The first cycle I ovulated on day 15, the second cycle, I ovulated really late (day 37), and I am currently on my third cycle. I have hot flashes and some minor headaches with Femara, but it's worth it if it gets me to ovulate! Good luck!
