Sperm count: In certain cases where men have low sperm counts Clomiphene may be used to improve the sperm numbers. It may take 3-6 months to see the effect of the medication on sperm counts.

To improve sperm: As in women, Clomiphene induces the release of LH and FSH from the pituitary. These hormones stimulate the production of testosterone and sperm production. In men, Clomiphene has to be taken everyday for months. Nowadays, there are medications such as amiridex and Femara that can cause the same effect. However, these new medications are more expensive and may not provided any advantage over clomid (clomiphene).
