A member asked:

If you produce more than one mature follicle on clomid, (clomiphene) will your body typically release all of them, or does that only happen with an hcg trigger?

YES: All eggs that are present whether you have natural ovulation or take hcg will release. Only eggs that are large and mature have a chance of leading to a baby
