Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid)
CC is an oral medication used primarily for ovulation disorders. It is sometimes used for unexplained infertility both for diagnosis (clomiphene citrate challenge test) and for treatment.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that is produced during pregnancy. It is measured in early pregnancy to detect pregnancy and monitor embryonic growth. hCG can also be given as a medication to stimulate ovulation.

Gonadotropins (Menopur, Repronex, Gonal-F)
Gonadotropins are injectable fertility medicines that boost or replace the hormones made in the pituitary gland that stimulate egg growth in the ovaries.

Progesterone (Prometrium)
Progesterone is the hormone made by the ovary after ovulation and is responsible for maintaining the lining of the uterus. Progesterone can also be taken during the second half of your menstrual cycle as an infertility medication.

Oral Contraceptives (OCPs)
OCPs have been prescribed to you for several reasons. They may be given to you one or more months prior to your treatment cycle in an effort to improve your cycle outcome. They have not been ordered for birth control purposes but for hormone and cycle regulation. You may take these with most other antibiotics if necessary.

Pre-operative Birth Contol Pills
NOR-Q-D (Micronor) is a low-dose, progestin-only birth control pill. Because it does not contain estrogen, NOR-Q-D does not increase the uterine lining or have some of the rare but serious side effects associated with combination estrogen-progestin pills.

Metformin (Glucophage)
Studies have found that some women with PCOS who take Metformin, an insulin sensitizing medication used in the treatment of type II diabetes, show lower testosterone levels, improved insulin response occasionally leading to spontaneous ovulation and improved response to Clomiphene Citrate.
