who are good candidates to use anastrozole (Arimidex) and letrozole (Femara) or aromatase inhibitors?

According to this website:

"Femara and Arimidex work by blocking the enzyme aromatase from converting the androgens or “male” hormones into estrogen in both men and women. High levels of estrogen in both genders are linked to illnesses."

I thought Femara was originally a Breast Cancer drug?

You're right Orion_99. But it is now used to treat infertility issues in women as well.

High levels of estrogen can also mean declining egg quality right?

Anastrozole (INN) marketed under the trade name Arimidex by AstraZeneca, is a drug used to treat breast cancer after surgery and for metastases in both pre and post-menopausal women.
