Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Clomid (clomiphene): Clomid (clomiphene) is a very old fertility medication. It is used to help people achieve pregnancy by enhancing ovulation or increasing the number of eggs that are ovulated in a cycle. There are other newer medications that are available. They are prescribed by consulting with your doctor about your fertility and usually when other causes of fertility are ruled out.
