WHAT DOES CLOMID DO?

[freemexy]

Clomiphene citrate, also known by the brand name Clomid Side Effects or Serophene, is one of the most common medications used to treat infertility. Clomid is an oral medication that is used to promote ovulation.

Clomid, is a cost-effective treatment in women that have irregular menstrual cycles, those who don’t ovulate and have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or for women that ovulate normally but have been diagnosed with “unexplained infertility.”

HOW DOES CLOMID?

Clomid is an orally administered selective estrogen receptor modulator (also known as SERM) that stimulates the release of the hormones FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) from the pituitary gland. The net effect is to stimulate the ovary to produce one or more eggs.

Since Clomid can result in the ovulation of more than one egg in a month, there is an approximately 5-10% risk of twins and very small risk of higher-order multiples (three or more) with use.
