Fertility Medications

Fertility medications… There are a lot of them, so how do you know which one is right for you?

The one many people may have heard of is Clomid, or clomiphene citrate. This has been around the longest. It’s a pill typically taken for approximately 5 days and is used to trick the brain into thinking that there is little estrogen around, so in turn the brain releases more of the hormones needed to stimulate the ovaries. This “supraphysiologic” secretion allows for controlled hyperstimulation of the ovaries. ⁠
