A member asked:

Is chlomid also given to increase chance of having an egg fertilized? since there are higher chances of having 1 to 3 eggs with the drug?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: Clomid (clomiphene) is designed to help an egg develop inside a follicle (the structure in the ovary containing an egg). It doesn't increase the odds of fertilization, per se.
