Ovulation is controlled by luteinizing hormone LH. LH is present in the blood and urine in very small amounts during most of the menstrual cycle but rises suddenly for a short time in the middle of the menstrual cycle.
This sharp rise, the LH surge, usually causes ovulation within about 30 hours. Clomid works by tricking the brain into thinking that your estrogen levels are unusually low.
Since estrogen levels appear to be low, your body thinks there are no growing follicles; and responds by releasing hormone that signals your pituitary gland to produce more FSH follicle stimulating hormone and LH Luteinizing hormone. The higher levels of FSH stimulate the ovaries, and the higher levels of LH eventually trigger ovulation. As the follicles on the ovaries grow, they release estrogen. The increase in estrogen signals the brain to slow down the production of FSH, which in turn slows down the stimulation of the ovaries.
