So, forgive me if I have missed the point, does clomid help to mature the egg or not? Many thanks.

A mature egg is one that undergoes the completion of meiosis after the LH surge (or hCG trigger)...

In older women, those undergoing IVF, and in some PCOS patients, this can be the case where egg quality can be the issue...in some patients, those who are young in particular, may not necessarily be the case

Does clomid act to mature eggs?

Hi Dr Q or Dr Littman, wondered if you could clarify something. In a recent post by Jilly titled "Give it to me in a nutshell please", Dr Littman gave some advise that confused both myself and Jilly. It was suggested that our eggs may not be good ones because we have long cycles, and that clomid may mature the eggs. My understanding is that clomid does not mature the egg, but just stimulates ovulation. Can you please clarify this. Many thanks.
