Clomid (clomiphene citrate) 50mg is commonly prescribed to help with fertility issues. It is typically used to stimulate ovulation in women who have difficulty ovulating on their own, such as in cases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or unexplained infertility. The 50mg dose is often the starting dose, and doctors may adjust it based on how the patient responds. Clomid works by blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, which then stimulates the release of hormones that promote ovulation.
