Clomid is one of the fertility medications with the highest success rates. Clomid reacts with a variety of tissues in the body that have estrogen receptors, including the vagina, the cervix, the entometrium, the pituitary gland, the ovaries, and the hypothalamus. Clomid influences the way that the hormones that are related to fertility and ovulation, work in the body and relate to one another. It has been said that Clomid “fools” the body into believing that estrogen is low, which then causes more GnRH to be released, which spurs the production of more FSH and LH. More FSH and more LH, then, lead to the release of one or more mature eggs. This is what helps Clomid to cause ovulation, and why Clomid has such high rates of success in terms of conception.
In clinical studies, about 30 percent of women taking Clomid became pregnant. The success rate with Clomid depends on several factors, including: The cause of infertility (Clomid is most useful for women with ovulation problems), the fertility of partner, the appropriate time of intercourse (ovulation usually occurs sometime between 5 to 10 days after finishing a course of Clomid).
