A member asked:

Is it ok to take clomid (clomiphene) even though i have regular periods? does regular periods means i ovulate each month? took clomid (clomiphene) 1st time but didn't conceive

Yes but less effect: Clomid (clomiphene) works best for anovulation. But with regular cycles and unexplained infertility there is some benefit. But the benefit is much less. There is no real harm.
