Clomid (oral)
This medication acts on certain areas of the brain (the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland) to induce ovulation. One to four tablets are taken for five days starting on day 3-5 of your cycle. Because this drug can cause cysts, you will need to have a sonogram each month before starting the next dosing cycle.

If ovulation does not occur on a lower dose, the dose can be increased with the next cycle. If ovulation does not occur despite the use of Clomid, the person is considered "non-responsive" and alternative treatment may be considered after consultation with the doctor.

One risk of this medication may include multiple births. This occurs in 5-10% of the women taking this medication. Other side effects may include: ovarian enlargement and associated discomfort, thickening of the cervical mucus, hot flashes and bloating, headache, breast discomfort, nausea, skin rash, dizziness, mood swings, and depression.
If changes in vision occur, your doctor needs to be notified right away.
