Why Is Clomid Prescribed During The Treatment For Infertility?

Hi, I am 26,female weight 60, ht 5.4 ft, preparing to get pregnant. I went to doctor and they gave me clomid for one month and on 20th day, they took US scan and told me that follicles size is small and gave menogon injection to be taken from Day 7 to day 11 along with clomid from day2 to day6 also another HCG injection 10000ml on 13th day. After taking all these they told us to try naturally, but on my 30th day I got my periods. Now they have given me 10 days of menogon injection without clomid, and HCG on 13th day. May I know what has happened and why they have stopped clomid? What is this procedure IUI Or IVF? What is the percentage of this result in positive?

Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..
You are given stepwise treatment for induction of ovulation. Clomid is an ovulation induction drug which helps in development of follicle but there was no follicular development.. A combination of clomiphene with FSH was tried but still follicular developmemt was not good enough. That is why higher dose of FSH is given for ovulation induction to directly stimulate the ovary. IUI is intrauterine insemination where centrifuged semen with motile sperms is injected into the uterus at the time of ovulation. It increases the chance of pregnancy by 20%. IVF is invitro fertilisation by which the egg and sperms are fertilised outside the body in the media and embryo is transferred into the uterus in the appropriate time.. Hope I have answered your queries.. good day..
