Clomid

Clomid, or clomiphene citrate, is a medication often prescribed to help women who have difficulty ovulating, which is essential for conception. It works by stimulating the brain's hormones that regulate ovulation, encouraging the ovaries to release eggs. Typically taken as a pill in the early part of a menstrual cycle, Clomid can increase the chances of pregnancy for women with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). While it is generally well-tolerated, potential side effects may include mood swings, hot flashes, and headaches. It should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
