Can Clomiphene Citrate Improve Ovulation Naturally, or Are There Ayurvedic Alternatives? - #14886
My doctor recently prescribed clomiphene citrate because I’ve been struggling with irregular ovulation and difficulty conceiving. I was told it helps stimulate ovulation, but I’m worried about the side effects. I’ve read that clomiphene citrate can cause mood swings, headaches, bloating, and even a higher chance of multiple pregnancies. I want to understand—does clomiphene citrate actually fix the root cause of irregular ovulation, or does it just force the body to release eggs temporarily? If my body isn’t ovulating properly on its own, shouldn’t I be addressing the underlying hormonal imbalance instead of just using medication? I’ve been looking into Ayurveda, and I’m wondering if there are natural ways to regulate ovulation and improve fertility without relying on clomiphene citrate. Are there specific herbs or dietary changes that support hormone balance and ovarian health? I’ve heard about Shatavari and Ashwagandha—can they be used as alternatives to clomiphene citrate? Has anyone successfully regulated their ovulation with Ayurveda instead of taking clomiphene citrate? What treatments or lifestyle changes worked best for you? I’d love to hear about natural approaches that support fertility without the risks of synthetic medication.
