Treatment List: Femara

Hey ladies,
I've been trying to read the treatment reviews for Femara under PCOS treatments, but when I click on the link it shows up as some other medication with only one review. I've been sending messages to the Daily Strength people to fix the link so that I could read what people have experienced with Femara. Has anyone else had trouble with this? Would you be willing to also contact Daily Strength about fixing the link?

I'm sure plenty of people out there have written a review on the drug, but no one can read it because the link is wrong.

Can you help?

apparently Femara is similar to Arimidex according to this site... and I'm surprised to see that it is used to treat Breast Cancer too.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
