Clomid works by acting on a number of different receptors in the body that regulate hormone production and release. In particular, Clomid works to increase the amount of three hormones involved in the ovulation process, including:


gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
luteinizing hormone (LH)
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Clomid essentially tricks the body into believing that it has lowered levels of estrogen. As a result, the brain begins to secrete increased levels of GnRH, which, in turn, stimulates the release of FSH and LH. These hormones then trigger the ovaries to begin to mature more follicles.
What is Clomid Prescribed For?

Clomid is generally prescribed for couples facing female infertility, including:


anovulation
PCOS
irregular menstruation

Clomid is also used to increase the number of follicles available for IVF treatment procedures.


Taking Clomid

Clomid is taken orally on specific days of your menstrual cycle. Depending upon your fertility clinic, you may be asked to take Clomid on Days 3-7 of your cycle, or Days 5-9 of your cycle. Dosages usually begin at 50 mg. Most women continue on this dosage for a cycle or two. If there is no improvement in ovulation, the dosage can be increased to a maximum of 200 mg per day.
Clomid is normally taken for a maximum of six cycles, after which use will be discontinued if it proves ineffective and another type of infertility treatment will be recommended. Occasionally, Clomid will be combined with additional hormonal medications.
Potential Clomid Side Effects

Generally, Clomid side effects are mild and not particularly troublesome. However, at higher doses you may experience:


mood swings
nausea and vomiting
breast tenderness
headache
fatigue

30% of women using Clomid also experience changes in their cervical mucous. Cervical mucous can then become hostile to sperm, making conception difficult.


Potential Complications of Clomid

The main risk associated with Clomid use is the potential for developing Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). OHSS can occur with the use of any type of ovulation stimulating drug. It happens when cysts begin to form on the ovaries, causing them to swell to a very large size. Typically, OHSS disappears without treatment but, without proper monitoring, the syndrome can become dangerous. Potential complications include:


kidney problems
liver problems
fluid collection in the lungs and stomach
twisting of the ovaries
((( I didnt have any side effects at all)))

It is essential that your fertility specialist monitor you for signs of OHSS while you are taking Clomid.


Clomid Success Rates

Clomid is generally a very effective drug for most women suffering from ovulatory dysfunction. In fact, between 70% and 90% of women taking Clomid begin to ovulate within the first three cycles. Additionally, 40% of couples become pregnant during the first three cycles. It is important to be aware that there is a 5% to 10% chance of multiple pregnancy (especially twin pregnancy) when taking Clomid. Speak to your fertility specialist if you are concerned about multiple pregnancy.

I searched for that info for you same i looked at when i was prescribed it. I had irregular periods but after 6mnths clomid worked for me. I now have a 8mnth old daughter and because i thought i needed the pills if i ever had another baby i didnt take any precaustions with my hubby and am now 3mnths pregnant with baby number 2. I want to wish you all the luck and hope everything works for you xx

ussually with PCOS you aren't producing mature follicles (eggs). the clomid stimulates a hormone in the brain to make eggs. i did 50mg, it did not work, but 100mg did help produce a mature egg. whatever you do having PCOS sucks when your trying to concieve, just don't lose hope, it may take a while... but hopefully not.

I would suggest you google for details on clomid. It really has a different effect on different people. It never worked for me. Many people have success with it and more don't.
