About CLOMID
Clomiphene citrate is frequently referred to by its brand names,
Clomid and Omifin. Clomiphene is used to induce ovulation, to correct
irregular ovulation, to help increase egg production and to correct
luteal phase deficiency. It is one of the selective estrogen receptor
modulators that acts as an anti-estrogen and tricks the pituitary
gland into producing more FSH and LH, which, in turn, stimulates
the ovary into producing more eggs and follicles. Generally, Clomid
follicles are larger than injectible follicles right before ovulation.
If there is a male factor involved
in your inability to get pregnant, Clomid will not fix the problem.
In fact, that's why most physicians suggest a thorough exam and
adequate laboratory testing before beginning Clomid. One would not
want to arbitrarily begin taking Clomid if there are other problems
that need to be addressed, as it would not necessarily be of any
value in the face of other unrelated factors. Especially if you're
paying out of pocket, unproductive overuse of the drug can get expensive.
