How it works:
Clomiphene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. This hormonal activation encourages follicle development and ovulation, enhancing chances of conception.
