How do fertility drugs like clomid (clomiphene) work to help conception?

Estrogen block: Clomiphene blocks the receptors for estrogen in the pituitary gland. As a result, the pituitary releases hormones to stimulate the ovaries. Ovulation results.

Ovulation: Fertility drugs help to ovulate or ovulate more than one egg. Of course one has to make sure sperm count is normal and the fallopian tubes are open.
