Clomid Usage Instructions
Clomid use under the care of Dr. Myran
What is Clomid
Clomid is a fertility drug used to induce ovulation and comes in tablet form. It’s generally used as a first step fertility treatment – Source: Drugs.com
Clomid is taken for a certain number of days after your menstrual cycle.
What happens when I am taking Clomid
During your prescribed Clomid cycle your ovarian response to the medication will be monitored using an ultrasound and in some cases a blood test.
This allows me to assess when the best time for you and your partner to have unprotected intercourse or insemination.
How does Clomid work to induce ovulation
Clomid works essentially by tricking your body into producing more follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) which in turn will hopefully cause your body to ovulate.
Clomid essentially blocks estrogen in the ovulation process. This causes your body to think there is not enough estrogen and your body works hard to produce more. This causes a chain reaction in additional hormone production to help your body to ovulate.
Instructions for use of Clomid under Dr. Myran
