At IVF1, we are often asked, who should take the fertility treatment Clomid .

For women who do not ovulate on their own, #Clomid typically can produce ovulation in 60-70% of women who take it . A common starting dose of Clomid is one tablet daily or 50 mg for five days, but may need to be increased depending on results. This is commonly known as ovulation induction.

Clomid is also used for women who already ovulate to further improve their chances at becoming pregnant by getting more eggs released at once. This is referred to as superovulation.

Not every woman who takes Clomid will become pregnant. In younger women, we typically see 10-15% of those treated become pregnant each month. For older women, it is less.

Additional #fertility treatments, such as #IUI (intrauterine insemination) can be combined with Clomid to further increase the pregnancy rate.

It’s important to know that women who conceive with Clomid have a higher chance for a multiple pregnancy.
