Clomid belongs to a class of medications called Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs). Clomid is used to promote ovulation. It is an oral medication that tricks your pituitary gland into thinking your estrogen levels are lower than they actually are. This causes your pituitary gland to secrete follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which aid in the growth of a follicle in the ovaries and the eventual ovulation of an egg. Clomid is likely one of many different medications prescribed by your doctor for the purpose of raising your levels of FSH and LH. Clomid can be an alternative to Letrozole. If you wish to take one over the other, discuss it with your prescribing physician.
