Clomiphene Ovulation Induction


Clomiphene citrate is the generic name for brand name medications Clomid and Serophene.  It is an oral medication often used as a first line treatment for promoting ovulation in appropriate patients.  Clomiphene's benefit is its ease of use, low cost, and low risk for multiple births.  Once a woman's eggs have been stimulated with clomiphene, conception is possible with either artificial insemination or intercourse.  Higher pregnancy rates generally occur when clomiphene is combined with insemination rather than timed intercourse.  If a patient fails to achieve pregnancy with Clomid or Serophene, or is not a candidate, the next option for promoting egg development is through the use of injectable medications called gonadotropins.
