Letrozole is an oral medication that is referred to as an aromatase inhibitor. Letrozole is prescribed to trick your body into thinking your estrogen levels are lower than they actually are. Letrozole causes your pituitary gland to secrete follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which aids in the growth of a follicle in the ovaries and the eventual ovulation of an egg. Letrozole is likely one of many different medications prescribed by your doctor for the purpose of raising your levels of FSH and LH and helping to promote ovulation. Clomid is sometimes prescribed as an alternative to Letrozole. Your provider will determine which ovulation-inducing medication is best for you.
