Clomid is truly an oral medication that can be used to stimulate ovulation. It really works by blocking estrogen receptors at the hypothalamus, and is an important "hormonal controls building" for the figure. Whenever this happens, the hypothalamus is stimulated to launch follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH). These are really the naturally developing ovarian stimulants, which prompt ovulation in a normal routine.
