Amniotic fluid is an important part of pregnancy and fetal development. This watery fluid is inside a casing called the amniotic membrane (or sac) and fluid surrounds the fetus throughout pregnancy. Normal amounts may vary, but, generally, women carry about 500 ml of amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid helps protect and cushion the fetus and plays an important role in the development of many of the fetal organs including the lungs, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. Fluid is produced by the fetal lungs and kidneys. It is taken up with fetal swallowing and sent across the placenta to the mother's circulation. Amniotic fluid problems occur in about 7 percent of pregnancies. Too much or too little amniotic fluid is associated with abnormalities in development and pregnancy complications. Differences in the amount of fluid may be the cause or the result of the problem.

For many years, the first line of pharmacologic ovulation induction has involved the use of Clomid. Clomid results in successful ovulation induction in approximately 80% of women, and ultimately half are able to achieve pregnancy.
