Question 2

this is my first time taking clomphine i was wondering when is the best time to take them and do they really work?

Accepted Answer

Speak with Gyn!: Please  get the answers to these questions (and any others) directly from the doctor whois prescribing it.  When you ask, "Do they really work?" the answer is "generally yes, but not always"  At age 27, you should have healthy ova, but many other factors can affect your ability to produce healthy ova.  Ovarian stimulation is only 1 of the initial steps in fertility treatment. Wishing you the best!

Question 3

can clomaphene cause problems when i have endometriosis ? did clomaphene work or make endometriosis worse?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doctor: Clomiphene alters hormonal balances in the body, especially of estrogen.  This is how it works as an infertility drug.  Endometriosis can be worsened by the presence of high levels of estrogens.  Clomiphene use is relatively contraindicated in women with endometriosis.  But again, you should talk to your doctor since only they know why you may still need to take the drug despite your condition.

Question 4

what is clomiphene used for?

Accepted Answer

Infertility: Clomid (clomiphene) is a fertility medication only in that it is used to treat infertility. In actuality, it is an ovulation inducing drug. That is, it gets the ovary to ovulate if the ovary is not already ovulating. Doctors also use this medication in ovulating women to increase the number of eggs they ovulate so there is a higher chance for one of the eggs to reach and enter the tube.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Fertility medicine: Clomid (clomiphene) is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-estrogen. When taken orally it binds to receptors in the brain which ultimately increases the fsh level. This in turn causes eggs to develop and hopefully initiate ovulation mid-cycle.

Helps ovulation: Clomiphene fools the brain into thinking there is not enough estrogen produced by the ovary so the brain sends out more signals to the ovary to get to work(fsh/lh hormones).  These stimulate more and better ovulation and therefore can take people who don't ovulate or don't ovulate well and improve this function.  Side effects, hot flashes, mood changes, headaches etc.
