Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Clomiphene (Clomid) stimulates LH, resulting in the maturation of more ovarian follicles than would normally occur. Clomiphene (Clomid) does not increase estrogen levels or stimulate FSH and gonadotropin-releasing hormone.

Breast tenderness occurs because of the estrogen. Acne and oily skin can occur because of the progesterone. An increase in appetite and weight gain is caused by the progesterone. An increase in blood pressure is caused by the estrogen.
