To understand why and how clomiphene citrate for women is used, it is important to have a basic understanding of normal ovulation. Normally, a woman’s ovaries produce one egg every 24 to 35 days. Ovulation usually occurs about 12 to 14 days before the next menstrual period. A woman’s best chance for becoming pregnant occurs around the day of ovulation and one to two days before ovulation. This would be approximately 12 to 14 days after the first day of a 28-day menstrual cycle.

Women who are most likely to respond to clomiphene include those with polycystic ovary syndrome. Women who are unlikely to respond are those with absent periods and very low estrogen levels due to low body weight or exercise, or those with high follicle-stimulating hormone levels, an indicator of ovarian aging early menopause or primary ovarian insufficiency.

clomiphene citrate for women works at the level of the hypothalamus where it competes for estrogen binding places. When these places are occupied by Fertomid 100 mg, the hypothalamus responds by producing more gonadotropin releasing hormone, which then stimulates the pituitary to produce follicle-stimulating hormone.
