What is Clomid?
A25. This drug is a competitive inhibitor of estradiol. It blocks estrogen receptors in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which causes the hypothalamus to signal the pituitary gland to release more FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) And LH (luteinizing hormone) into the bloodstream. The increased levels of FSH lead to the development of the follicle and egg which secretes more estrogen into the bloodstream.
