Clomiphene (Clomid)

Updated on October 10, 2017

Q: How does clomiphene (Clomid) work?

A: The exact mechanism of clomiphene is not well understood, but in women who produce estrogen it increases certain hormones (LH, FSH).
This in turn causes the follicle to grow, it triggers the LH surge and thus induces ovulation.
