At least 2 or 3 cycles need to be tried with CC before abandoning the drug. E 2 has been used in combination with CC to improve cervical mucus quality and to induce LH surge. CC in combination with dexamethasone has been found to be beneficial to women having hyperandrogenism of ovarian adrenal or mixed origin. Ovarian hyperstimulation may occur occasionally but is usually mild. Multiple gestations occur in some instances and such cases can be subjected to fetal reduction.
CC when used judiciously is a safe reliable and in expensive theraputic modality.
