Default Is Femara safer than Clomid?

Is Femara a safer alternative to Clomid? How does it differ from Clomid? Thanks for any responses! I might want to try it rather than clomid...hmmm...

"There is some thought that Femara may be less likely to cause negative effects on cervical mucus and the thickness of the uterine lining, compared to Clomid. Although Clomid is usually effective at causing ovulation, it can also cause problems with cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus (which may explain why some women ovulate on Clomid but do not become pregnant)."

Carlie - I have never used Clomid, but from what I understand is that the side effects of Femara are shorter because it clears from your system faster. I got a BFP on my first cycle of Femara, the only side effect I had was a headache one day. I hope that helps.
