Throughout the world, millions of women are prescribed with fertility dugs such as clomid or clomifene, gonadotropins and bromocriptine.

Gonadotropins are the hormones that control ovulation and these hormones are produced in the pituitary gland. These hormones stimulate the activity of gonads, also called as the ovaries in women. Major gonadotropins produced by the pituitary gland are luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These hormones enter into the bloodstream and travel to your ovaries.

Clomid: This fertility drug helps you more likely to ovulate every month. Women who ovulate irregularly or not at all and also women with PCOS can benefit from this drug. Women with unexplained infertility are also prescribed with clomid.

This makes ovaries to produce number of eggs ready for fertilization. After completing the drug cycle, hypothalamus will produce LH. This alerts your ovaries to release a mature egg from the follicles and send it into one of the fallopian tubes. The drug cycle will be 3-5 days in a monthly menstrual period.

Gonadotropins: Most often these dugs are suggested for women with PCOS and women who are not responding to clomid. Gonadotopin is a mixture of FSH and LH. It directly stimulates your ovaries to produce and mature eggs.

Gonadotropins are injected into your body. After receiving gonadotropins for 7-12 days, you will get an injection called hCG (human chronic gonadotropin) to tell the ovaries to release the egg.

Bromocriptine or parlodel : These drugs are suggested for women with ovulation problems due to excess of prolactin hormone produced by pituitary gland. This condition is caused by pituitary adenoma. This drug works by reducing the production of prolactin hormone.

This drug can be taken in the form of tablet, capsule or vaginally. Dosage of pills is 2-3 times a day, if it is required, the dosage may also be increased. Once prolactin levels becomes normal, you are about to menstruate and ovulate.

Every fertility drug has some sort of side effects, such as dizziness, nausea, headache, dry mouth, nasal stuffiness, and drowsiness.
