Not all fertility pills are created equal. In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down the real differences between Clomid (clomiphene citrate) and Femara (letrozole)—two medications that may look the same but work in totally different ways.

Learn how each medication triggers ovulation, why increasing your dose doesn’t always improve your chances, and when doctors decide to switch from oral pills to injectable gonadotropins. Dr. Amols also shares the surprising origins of both drugs (spoiler: one started as birth control and the other as a cancer treatment!) and explains why “doing more” isn’t always the right move in fertility treatment.

Whether you’re trying to understand your options, navigating PCOS, or wondering why your doctor didn’t bump your dose, this episode will help you make sense of your fertility journey—one taco at a time. 🌮
