Clomid
Ovulation Calculator
Clomiphene, taken in pill form, tells your
pituitary gland to produce or make more of the hormones that trigger ovulation .
It prompts your ovaries to get a number of your eggs ready for release. Once you
are are through your cycle of medication, the part of your brain that regulates
basic functions (the hypothalamus) such as temperature, will release lutenizing
hormone (LH), which tells your ovaries it's time to release a mature egg from
its follicle and send it into one of your Fallopian tubes.
Clomiphene must be prescribed by your doctor. It
is generally taken about five days each month. You'll start taking this
drug about three to five days into your monthly menstrual cycle if you have a
normal period. Ovulation generally occurs 5 to 9 days after the last pill
is taken.
The cost of the drug varies. Drugstore.com
sell 50 MG Clomid Tablets for $47.50 for 5 tablets and 10 for $90.69. The
Generic form; Clomiphene Citrate Tablets 50 MG are 5 tablets for $19.00 and 10
tablets for $36.28. I purchase five 50mg tablets from Walgreens pharmacy

If you feel that you are not ovulating, or have
PCOS, talk to your physician about the use of this drug.
