What is clomiphene used for?

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.
