Clomid to Induce Ovulation
July 4th, 2009
Ovulatory disorders account for about 20 - 30% of all infertility patients. Clomiphene citrate or more commonly known as Clomid, is a common drug used to induce ovulation in such patients. Clomid and infertility is well studied. Your doctor will usually start you off on the smallest dosage which is 50 mg daily. This is taken for 5 days either from the 2nd or the 5th day of your menstrual cycle. The doctor will check for the effectiveness of this dosage by taking a serum progesterone blood test on the 21st to 23rd day of your menstrual cycle. The dosage can then be increased as necessary. You are advised to have sexual action between the 6th and 21st day of your menstrual cycle.
