Is Clomid Ovulation Different from Regular Ovulation?

Clomid is a fertility drug that induces ovulation. It is taken by women as part of prescription for a fertility drug. Women who have problems of getting pregnant may think about taking Clomid to increase their chances of conception.

Not all women who have problems about fertility should induce clomid ovulation. A physician should first screen a woman before he recommends her of the fertility drug.

It is important that a woman undergoes proper testing and evaluation so that a doctor may know the best course of action for the individual. If you are not ovulating, not ovulating regularly or not menstruating regularly, Clomid ovulation may be the best option for you.

With Clomid ovulation, your estrogen receptors are being blocked in the brain. Clomid makes your brain believe that there is not enough estrogen in the body.

With this, the pituitary is tricked and prompts the body to produce more estrogen. Your body will then produce more GnRh that causes the release of FSH and LH, two important hormones needed in ovulation. With the increased production of FSH and LH, your body will be asked to ovulate.

Because the task of Clomid is to block estrogen receptors, it does not block only the receptors in the hypothalamus, but also those in the cervix.

Estrogen blocked in the cervix may cause the production of dry cervical mucous which is not the best place to transport sperm to the uterus.

Other side effects of taking this fertility drug are mood swings, headaches and hot flashes. There is a ten percent probability of having twins while taking this drug.
