Dear Vaishali,
Fertab is a medicine containing
Clomiphene citrate which induces egg release from the ovary (ovulation). Hence, if you want to consume these pills for induction of ovulation, you should take them before intrauterine semen instillation (IUI - Injecting the sperms). The protocol should be as follows:
From day 2 of the cycle, Clomiphene citrate tablets are taken for 5 days. Then from day 9 onwards, monitor the ovulation by
ultrasonography. When the ovulation takes place, semen should go in your uterus; either naturally by intercourse or by IUI.
Occasionally, the ovulation fails in spite of these tablets. In such cases, when the follicle is about 18 mm to 21 mm size, Inj.
hCG is given to induce the ovulation and then the semen is injected.
If these pills fail to offer you
pregnancy within 3-6 trials, you should not continue these pills but shift to HMG/hCG protocol.
I hope this clarifies the matter to you to take an informed decision. If you want further more details, you may ask me Direct question on this forum with your investigations report.
