Clomid ?

So, I know a lot of ladies have had success with Clomid or similar drugs. My BF IRL is one of them. So I am just wondering what different types of TTC problems can Clomid be used to treat?

    It can be for unexplained and MFI. Normally most don't use it for severe MFI.

    On the girl end, I'm not to sure. I'm sure PCOS girls use Clomid.

    IVF #1- BFP- DD 4/8/2011
    FET #1- 3BB and 3B-B
    Beta #1 (4w0d)- 504
    Beta #2 (4w4d)- 4,577
    Beta #3 (6w0d)- 78,399 HB 115 bpm
    U/S #2 7w0d- HB 155 bpm

    Please don't think I am stupid for asking this but how does it help with MFI? I had no idea. My BF has PCOS and Clomid + HCG is what gave her success.

    In my case, my RE put me on Clomid b/c of my late/weak  ovulation...  and sometimes lack of ovulation.

    I think with males, it just adjusts their hormones to boost production of sperm? I'm guessing there...so don't hold me to that.

    I take it because I have low progesterone.  It makes me O stronger and increases my progesterone, it also moves up my O date by 2-3 days.

    DH was just prescribed it because he was found to have low testosterone.  Clomid somehow stimulates his pituitary or whatever makes it to increase testosterone production, which in turn can help increase his SA numbers.  Pure testosterone replacement for whatever reason actually stops sperm production all together.
