Clomid Treatment Area
Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) is applied to induce ovulation as well as to correct irregular ovulation. The drug also help increasing egg the production in women thus correcting the Luteal phase deficiency.
What is Clomid?
Clomid 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. This in turn stimulates the ovary into producing more eggs and follicles.
Clomid Consumtion
Clomid is available in 50-mg tablets that are taken on days 5-9 of your cycle or, less typically, on days 4-8 or 3-7. There is some preliminary research that indicates that an earlier start date may result in more pregnancies, but most gynecologists continue to prescribe it for days 5-9. One recent study actually tried prescribing Clomid on cycle days 1-5. While none of the participants in their day 5-9 groups resulted in pregnancy, 24 percent of the women who took Clomid on days 1-5 were able to conceive.
Daily doses range from 50 mg to 200 mg. A few doctors will prescribe as much 250 mg per day, but this is rare and goes against manufacturer's suggestions. The Merck Manual, a reputable sourcebook for health care professionals, suggests no more than 150 mg per day.
