If you are a woman trying to concieve, then chances are you've had the names of a lot of different drugs thrown at you in a short amount of time. Quite possibly, your head is reeling from all the information. But what are fertility drugs? How do they work? Do you have to recieve injections? This article will attempt to answer some of those questions to help you be more aware of what goes on within your body when you start using these drugs, and what the options are.

Fertility drugs, as their name suggests, are drugs that stimulate a woman's body in different ways to help her try to become pregnant naturally. However, they are also used with artificial insemination to improve the chances of pregnancy with in vitro fertilization and other types of assisted reproduction. The most common of these drugs is clomiphine citrate, which bears the more user-friendly brand names Clomid and Serophene. Clomiphene citrate can be taken in pill form, reducing the need for injections and therefore reducing potential side effects from the injections. While not without its share of side effects--the most common ones include hot flashes, headaches, and nausea--the pill form of clomiphene citrate is still far safer and more comfortable than injections. When you come right down to it, the fertility pill has fewer "side effects" than the pregnancy itself.

However, you may not be able to get pregnant with clomiphene alone. About 50% of women become pregnant after taking the drug, but if you're one of the other half, then your doctor may recommend a hormone injection. The side effects from an injection are still mild, although somewhat more uncomfortable than the pills; they include infection and swelling around the injection site. Again, chances are good that you will be able to become pregnant from one of these drugs, but still not 100%. You should always talk to your doctor about options for fertility treatments, and discuss which fertility drugs he or she thinks will be right for you.
