How It Works
Clomid functions by blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, which triggers increased production of FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and LH (Luteinizing Hormone). This hormonal stimulation promotes follicle development and egg release from the ovaries, enhancing fertility.
Duration of Action
Effects typically begin within the first treatment cycle (28 days). Most women ovulate within 5-10 days after completing the 5-day course. Treatment may continue for up to 6 cycles if needed.
Dosage
Standard protocol: 50mg daily for 5 days, starting on cycle day 3-5 Maximum dose: Up to 150mg daily if needed Treatment duration: Usually limited to 6 cycles Timing: Take at the same time each day
Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary, including hot flashes, mood changes, breast tenderness, and mild abdominal discomfort. Visual disturbances or severe pelvic pain require immediate medical attention.
Warning
Discontinue Clomid Tablet use and seek immediate medical care if experiencing severe abdominal pain, visual changes, or signs of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Multiple pregnancy risk increases with use.
