📖 Clomid

In Detail

Clomid works by tricking the brain into thinking estrogen is low, causing increased FSH production and follicle development. It's typically taken days 3-7 or 5-9 of the cycle for 3-6 months. Success rates: about 80% of women ovulate on Clomid, and 40-45% conceive within 6 cycles. Side effects may include hot flashes, mood swings, headaches, and a 5-10% chance of twins. Letrozole (Femara) is an increasingly popular alternative.
