A Common Problem

If you’re experiencing infertility, you’re far from alone. Each year in the United States, 10 to 15 percent of couples experience infertility. “Infertility” is generally defined by many in healthcare as not getting pregnant after 6-12 months or more of having regular, unprotected sex.

Infertility Affects Millions

According to the American Pregnancy Association, a healthy 30-year-old having frequent unprotected sex has a 20 percent chance of getting pregnant each month. While every woman is different, that fact may be surprising. Conceiving a child can feel like a miracle. It can also feel frustrating when it doesn’t happen as hoped or as planned.

  • Tobacco or cannabis use
  • Alcohol use

How Clomid® Works

Clomid® (clomiphene citrate) Tablets, USP works to increase female fertility by stimulating an increase in the amount of hormones that support the growth and release of a mature egg.
1

Clomid® disrupts your brain’s ability to sense your estrogen levels

2

So your brain sends more follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) for egg growth

3

This triggers follicles to produce mature eggs that can be fertilized by sperm
