Clomid works in a complicated way: it influences on 4 hormones that are responsible for ovulation: estradiol, GnRH, FSH, and LH. All four hormones are in connection and for healthy ovulation, all four have to work right . Clomid regulates all 4 hormones by fooling the body into believing that the estrogen levels are low. Information like this causes reaction in woman's brains (more accurately hypothalamus) to make a release of hormone GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone) which actually causes the pituitary gland to make and release more FSH (follicle stimulating hormone ) and LH (luteinizing hormone). When FSH and LH are stimulated this results in releasing one or more mature eggs.
