A member asked:

I start clomid tomorrow. how does clomid help women if they already have higher lh and fsh (8.5 and 8.0 on cd 3)which clomid is supposed to elevate?

High LH and FSH ?: With irregular to missed ovulation, with Clomid used to stimulate ovulation, the elevation in LH is present in patients who may have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Since estrogen continues to be produced without ovulation, FSH is also increased. Clomid may not cause ovulation, and other medications may be necessary. Get a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist for expert help on this.
