Hi, I have some curiosity questions regarding clomid.

1) clomid is supposed to cause your ovaries to produce and release eggs correct?

Assuming question number one is correct,:

2) Once you stop taking clomid, does your body stop producing eggs?

3) Does clomid cause the body to produce only the egg(s) it will release at once, or will it cause the production of many eggs that are released over time much like a normal operating female reproductive system?

4) Since the body has now produced eggs, they are not degraded in quality correct? Also, how does the quality relate to an egg that is released in a womans 20's? Is the egg better than any eggs released in older age, but not as good as an egg naturally released in the 20's (does that make since?)?

5) Even if a woman is releasing eggs and shows no real problem with her fertility or ability to conceive (minus the occasional MC), is clomid a possible solution to maintaining high quality eggs in an effort to ward off the effects of age on naturally existing eggs?

6) Does clomid have an increased risk of causing multiple eggs to be created and released? If so, how significant an increase of giving birth to twins or more?

I realize there are a lot of questions here but if anyone is willing or able to answer them I would greatly appreciate it. I realize that some of the answers or scenarios are contingent upon a doctors willingness to treat, etc. My questions stem from curiosity only at this time.

Thank you
