Clomifene (INN) or clomiphene (USAN and former BAN) or Clomid or Clomifert is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), increasing production of gonadotropins by inhibiting negative feedback on the hypothalamus.
It is used mainly for ovarian stimulation in female infertility due to anovulation (e.
Clomiphene citrate is marketed under various trade names including Clomid, Serophene, Milophene, etc.
On day 21 of the menstrual cycle, high levels of estrogen and progesterone cause negative feedback inhibition at the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary.
As a result, decreased LH levels leads to atrophy of the corpus luteum, subsequently leading to decreased production of estrogen and progesterone.
This will release the feedback inhibition of the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary, causing the FSH level to rise again at day 22.
Clomiphene is given at day 2 menses.
By that time, FSH level is rising steadily, causing development of a few follicles.
Follicles in turn produce the estrogen, which circulates in serum.
Clomiphene acts by inhibiting the action of estrogen on the hypothalamus.
Zuclomifene, the more active isomer (see below), binds to estrogen receptors and stays bound for long periods of time.
This prevents normal receptor recycling and causes an effective reduction in hypothalamic estrogen receptor number.
As a result, the body perceives a low level of estrogen, similar to day 22 in the previous cycle.
Since estrogen can no longer effectively exert negative feedback on the hypothalamus, GnRH secretion becomes more pulsatile, which results in increased pituitary gonadotropin (FSH, LH) release.
Increased FSH level causes growth of more ovarian follicles, and subsequently rupture of follicles resulting in ovulation.
Clomifene is a mixture of two geometric isomers, enclomifene (E-clomifene) and zuclomifene (Z-clomifene).
In comparison to treatment with purified FSH, the rate of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is low.
There may be an increased risk of ovarian cancer and weight gain.
Clomifene is commonly used by male anabolic steroid users to bind the estrogen receptors in their bodies, thereby blocking the effects of estrogen, such as gynecomastia.
It also restores the body's natural production of testosterone.
It is commonly used as a "recovery drug" and taken toward the end of a steroid cycle.
Some users report that taking Clomid increases the amount of fluid produced during ejaculation.

Clomid Official FDA information, side effects and uses.
C6H8O7 and a molecular weight of 598.
Clomiphene citrate is a white to pale yellow, essentially odorless, crystalline powder.
Each white scored tablet contains 50 mg clomiphene citrate USP.
The tablet also contains the following inactive ingredients: corn starch, lactose, magnesium stearate, pregelatinized cornstarch, and sucrose.
Clomid is a drug of considerable pharmacologic potency.
With careful selection and proper management of the patient, Clomid has been demonstrated to be a useful therapy for the anovulatory patient desiring pregnancy.
Clomiphene citrate is capable of interacting with estrogen-receptor-containing tissues, including the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary, endometrium, vagina, and cervix.
It may compete with estrogen for estrogen-receptor-binding sites and may delay replenishment of intracellular estrogen receptors.
Clomiphene citrate initiates a series of endocrine events culminating in a preovulatory gonadotropin surge and subsequent follicular rupture.
The first endocrine event in response to a course of clomiphene therapy is an increase in the release of pituitary gonadotropins.
This initiates steroidogenesis and folliculogenesis, resulting in growth of the ovarian follicle and an increase in the circulating level of estradiol.
Following ovulation, plasma progesterone and estradiol rise and fall as they would in a normal ovulatory cycle.
Available data suggest that both the estrogenic and antiestrogenic properties of clomiphene may participate in the initiation of ovulation.
The two clomiphene isomers have been found to have mixed estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects, which may vary from one species to another.
Some data suggest that zuclomiphene has greater estrogenic activity than enclomiphene.
Clomiphene citrate has no apparent progestational, androgenic, or antiandrogenic effects and does not appear to interfere with pituitary-adrenal or pituitary-thyroid function.
Although there is no evidence of a "carryover effect" of Clomid, spontaneous ovulatory menses have been noted in some patients after Clomid therapy.
Based on early studies with 14C-labeled clomiphene citrate, the drug was shown to be readily absorbed orally in humans and excreted principally in the feces.
Cumulative urinary and fecal excretion of the 14C averaged about 50% of the oral dose and 37% of an intravenous dose after 5 days.
Mean urinary excretion was approximately 8% with fecal excretion of about 42%.
Some 14C label was still present in the feces 6 weeks after administration.
Subsequent single-dose studies in normal volunteers showed that zuclomiphene (cis) has a longer half-life than enclomiphene (trans).
Detectable levels of zuclomiphene persisted for longer than a month in these subjects.
This may be suggestive of stereo-specific enterohepatic recycling or sequestering of the zuclomiphene.
Thus, it is possible that some active drug may remain in the body during early pregnancy in women who conceive in the menstrual cycle during Clomid therapy.
During clinical investigations, 7578 patients received Clomid, some of whom had impediments to ovulation other than ovulatory dysfunction (see INDICATIONS AND USAGE).
In those clinical trials, successful therapy characterized by pregnancy occurred in approximately 30% of these patients.
There were a total of 2635 pregnancies reported during the clinical trial period.
Of those pregnancies, information on outcome was only available for 2369 of the cases.
Table 1 summarizes the outcome of these cases.
Of the reported pregnancies, the incidence of multiple pregnancies was 7.
Of the 165 twin pregnancies for which sufficient information was available, the ratio of monozygotic to dizygotic twins was about 1:5.
Table 1 reports the survival rate of the live multiple births.
Includes 28 ectopic pregnancies, 4 hydatiform moles, and 1 fetus papyraceous.
Indicates percentage of surviving infants from these pregnancies.
The overall survival of infants from multiple pregnancies including spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, and neonatal deaths is 73%.
Clomid is indicated for the treatment of ovulatory dysfunction in women desiring pregnancy.
Impediments to achieving pregnancy must be excluded or adequately treated before beginning Clomid therapy.
Those patients most likely to achieve success with clomiphene therapy include patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (see WARNINGS: Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome), amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome, psychogenic amenorrhea, post-oral-contraceptive amenorrhea, and certain cases of secondary amenorrhea of undetermined etiology.
Properly timed coitus in relationship to ovulation is important.
A basal body temperature graph or other appropriate tests may help the patient and her physician determine if ovulation occurred.
Once ovulation has been established, each course of Clomid should be started on or about the 5th day of the cycle.
Long-term cyclic therapy is not recommended beyond a total of about six cycles (including three ovulatory cycles).
See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and PRECAUTIONS.
Patients without ovarian cysts.
Clomid should not be used in patients with ovarian enlargement except those with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Pelvic examination is necessary prior to the first and each subsequent course of Clomid treatment.
Patients without abnormal vaginal bleeding.
If abnormal vaginal bleeding is present, the patient should be carefully evaluated to ensure that neoplastic lesions are not present.
Patients with normal liver function.
Patients should have adequate levels of endogenous estrogen (as estimated from vaginal smears, endometrial biopsy, assay of urinary estrogen, or from bleeding in response to progesterone).
Reduced estrogen levels, while less favorable, do not preclude successful therapy.
Primary Pituitary or Ovarian Failure.
Clomid therapy cannot be expected to substitute for specific treatment of other causes of ovulatory failure.
Endometriosis and Endometrial Carcinoma.
The incidence of endometriosis and endometrial carcinoma increases with age as does the incidence of ovulatory disorders.
Endometrial biopsy should always be performed prior to Clomid therapy in this population.
Other Impediments to Pregnancy.
Impediments to pregnancy can include thyroid disorders, adrenal disorders, hyperprolactinemia, and male factor infertility.
Caution should be exercised when using Clomid in patients with uterine fibroids due to the potential for further enlargement of the fibroids.
There are no adequate or well-controlled studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of Clomid in the treatment of male infertility.
In addition, testicular tumors and gynecomastia have been reported in males using clomiphene.
The cause and effect relationship between reports of testicular tumors and the administration of Clomid is not known.
Although the medical literature suggests various methods, there is no universally accepted standard regimen for combined therapy (ie, Clomid in conjunction with other ovulation-inducing drugs).
Similarly, there is no standard Clomid regimen for ovulation induction in in vitro fertilization programs to produce ova for fertilization and reintroduction.
Therefore, Clomid is not recommended for these uses.
Clomid is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to clomiphene citrate or to any of its ingredients.
Clomid should not be administered during pregnancy.
Clomid may cause fetal harm in animals (see Animal Fetotoxicity).
To avoid inadvertent Clomid administration during early pregnancy, appropriate tests should be utilized during each treatment cycle to determine whether ovulation occurs.
The patient should be evaluated carefully to exclude pregnancy, ovarian enlargement, or ovarian cyst formation between each treatment cycle.
The next course of Clomid therapy should be delayed until these conditions have been excluded.
The following fetal abnormalities have been reported subsequent to pregnancies following ovulation induction therapy with Clomid during clinical trials.
Congenital heart lesions, Down syndrome, club foot, congenital gut lesions, hypospadias, microcephaly, harelip and cleft palate, congenital hip, hemangioma, undescended testicles, polydactyly, conjoined twins and teratomatous malformation, patent ductus arteriosus, amaurosis, arteriovenous fistula, inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, syndactyly, pectus excavatum, myopathy, dermoid cyst of scalp, omphalocele, spina bifida occulta, ichthyosis, and persistent lingual frenulum.
The overall incidence of reported birth anomalies from pregnancies associated with maternal Clomid ingestion during clinical studies was within the range of that reported for the general population.
In addition, reports of birth anomalies have been received during postmarketing surveillance of Clomid (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
Newborn mice and rats injected during the first few days of life also developed metaplastic changes in uterine and vaginal mucosa, as well as premature vaginal opening and anovulatory ovaries.
These findings are similar to the abnormal reproductive behavior and sterility described with other estrogens and antiestrogens.
No permanent malformations were observed in those studies.
Also, rhesus monkeys given oral doses of 1.
Clomid therapy is contraindicated in patients with liver disease or a history of liver dysfunction (see also INDICATIONS AND USAGE and ADVERSE REACTIONS).
Clomid is contraindicated in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding of undetermined origin (see INDICATIONS AND USAGE).
Clomid is contraindicated in patients with ovarian cysts or enlargement not due to polycystic ovarian syndrome (see INDICATIONS AND USAGE and WARNINGS).
Clomid is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled thyroid or adrenal dysfunction or in the presence of an organic intracranial lesion such as pituitary tumor (see INDICATIONS AND USAGE).
Patients should be advised that blurring or other visual symptoms such as spots or flashes (scintillating scotomata) may occasionally occur during therapy with Clomid.
These visual symptoms increase in incidence with increasing total dose or therapy duration and generally disappear within a few days or weeks after Clomid is discontinued.
Patients should be warned that these visual symptoms may render such activities as driving a car or operating machinery more hazardous than usual, particularly under conditions of variable lighting.
These visual symptoms appear to be due to intensification and prolongation of afterimages.
Symptoms often first appear or are accentuated with exposure to a brightly lit environment.
While measured visual acuity usually has not been affected, a study patient taking 200 mg Clomid daily developed visual blurring on the 7th day of treatment, which progressed to severe diminution of visual acuity by the 10th day.
No other abnormality was found, and the visual acuity returned to normal on the 3rd day after treatment was stopped.
Ophthalmologically definable scotomata and retinal cell function (electroretinographic) changes have also been reported.
A patient treated during clinical studies developed phosphenes and scotomata during prolonged Clomid administration, which disappeared by the 32nd day after stopping therapy.
Postmarketing surveillance of adverse events has also revealed other visual signs and symptoms during Clomid therapy (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
While the etiology of these visual symptoms is not yet understood, patients with any visual symptoms should discontinue treatment and have a complete ophthalmological evaluation carried out promptly.
The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) has been reported to occur in patients receiving clomiphene citrate therapy for ovulation induction.
In some cases, OHSS occurred following cyclic use of clomiphene citrate therapy or when clomiphene citrate was used in combination with gonadotropins.
Transient liver function test abnormalities suggestive of hepatic dysfunction, which may be accompanied by morphologic changes on liver biopsy, have been reported in association with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
OHSS is a medical event distinct from uncomplicated ovarian enlargement.
The clinical signs of this syndrome in severe cases can include gross ovarian enlargement, gastrointestinal symptoms, ascites, dyspnea, oliguria, and pleural effusion.
In addition, the following symptoms have been reported in association with this syndrome: pericardial effusion, anasarca, hydrothorax, acute abdomen, hypotension, renal failure, pulmonary edema, intraperitoneal and ovarian hemorrhage, deep venous thrombosis, torsion of the ovary, and acute respiratory distress.
The early warning signs of OHSS are abdominal pain and distention, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and weight gain.
Elevated urinary steroid levels, varying degrees of electrolyte imbalance, hypovolemia, hemoconcentration, and hypoproteinemia may occur.
Death due to hypovolemic shock, hemoconcentration, or thromboembolism has occurred.
Due to fragility of enlarged ovaries in severe cases, abdominal and pelvic examination should be performed very cautiously.
If conception results, rapid progression to the severe form of the syndrome may occur.
To minimize the hazard associated with occasional abnormal ovarian enlargement associated with Clomid therapy, the lowest dose consistent with expected clinical results should be used.
Maximal enlargement of the ovary, whether physiologic or abnormal, may not occur until several days after discontinuation of the recommended dose of Clomid.
Some patients with polycystic ovary syndrome who are unusually sensitive to gonadotropin may have an exaggerated response to usual doses of Clomid.
Therefore, patients with polycystic ovary syndrome should be started on the lowest recommended dose and shortest treatment duration for the first course of therapy (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
If enlargement of the ovary occurs, additional Clomid therapy should not be given until the ovaries have returned to pretreatment size, and the dosage or duration of the next course should be reduced.
Ovarian enlargement and cyst formation associated with Clomid therapy usually regresses spontaneously within a few days or weeks after discontinuing treatment.
The potential benefit of subsequent Clomid therapy in these cases should exceed the risk.
Unless surgical indication for laparotomy exists, such cystic enlargement should always be managed conservatively.
A causal relationship between ovarian hyperstimulation and ovarian cancer has not been determined.
However, because a correlation between ovarian cancer and nulliparity, infertility, and age has been suggested, if ovarian cysts do not regress spontaneously, a thorough evaluation should be performed to rule out the presence of ovarian neoplasia.
Careful attention should be given to the selection of candidates for Clomid therapy.
Pelvic examination is necessary prior to Clomid treatment and before each subsequent course (see CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS).
The purpose and risks of Clomid therapy should be presented to the patient before starting treatment.
It should be emphasized that the goal of Clomid therapy is ovulation for subsequent pregnancy.
Advise that blurring or other visual symptoms occasionally may occur during or shortly after Clomid therapy.
Warn that visual symptoms may render such activities as driving a car or operating machinery more hazardous than usual, particularly under conditions of variable lighting (see WARNINGS).
The patient should be instructed to inform the physician whenever any unusual visual symptoms occur.
If the patient has any visual symptoms, treatment should be discontinued and complete ophthalmologic evaluation performed.
Ovarian enlargement may occur during or shortly after therapy with Clomid.
To minimize the risks associated with ovarian enlargement, the patient should be instructed to inform the physician of any abdominal or pelvic pain, weight gain, discomfort, or distention after taking Clomid (see WARNINGS).
Inform the patient that there is an increased chance of multiple pregnancy, including bilateral tubal pregnancy and coexisting tubal and intrauterine pregnancy, when conception occurs in relation to Clomid therapy.
The potential complications and hazards of multiple pregnancy should be explained.
The physician should explain the assumed risk of any pregnancy, whether ovulation is induced with the aid of Clomid or occurs naturally.
The patient should be informed of the greater risks associated with certain characteristics or conditions of any pregnant woman, eg, age of female and male partner, history of spontaneous abortions, Rh genotype, abnormal menstrual history, infertility history, organic heart disease, diabetes, exposure to infectious agents such as rubella, familial history of birth anomaly, that may be pertinent to the patient for whom Clomid is being considered.
Based upon the evaluation of the patient, genetic counseling may be indicated.
The overall incidence of reported birth anomalies from pregnancies associated with maternal Clomid ingestion during the investigational studies was within the range of that reported in published references for the general population.
See CONTRAINDICATIONS: Pregnancy.
During clinical investigation, the experience from patients with known pregnancy outcome (Table 1) shows a spontaneous abortion rate of 20.
Drug interactions with Clomid have not been documented.
Long-term toxicity studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic or mutagenic potential of clomiphene citrate.
Oral administration of Clomid to male rats at doses of 0.
It is not known whether Clomid is excreted in human milk.
Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised if Clomid is administered to a nursing woman.
In some patients, Clomid may reduce lactation.
Prolonged use of clomiphene citrate tablets USP may increase the risk of a borderline or invasive ovarian tumor (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
Clomid, at recommended dosages, is generally well tolerated.
Adverse reactions usually have been mild and transient and most have disappeared promptly after treatment has been discontinued.
Adverse experiences reported in patients treated with clomiphene citrate during clinical studies are shown in Table 2.
Includes 498 patients whose reports may have been duplicated in the event totals and could not be distinguished as such.
Also, excludes 47 patients who did not report symptom data.
Patients on prolonged Clomid therapy may show elevated serum levels of desmosterol.
This is most likely due to a direct interference with cholesterol synthesis.
However, the serum sterols in patients receiving the recommended dose of Clomid are not significantly altered.
Ovarian cancer has been infrequently reported in patients who have received fertility drugs.
The following adverse experiences were reported spontaneously with Clomid.
The cause and effect relationship of the listed events to the administration of Clomid is not known.
Tolerance, abuse, or dependence with Clomid has not been reported.
Toxic effects accompanying acute overdosage of Clomid have not been reported.
Signs and symptoms of overdosage as a result of the use of more than the recommended dose during Clomid therapy include nausea, vomiting, vasomotor flushes, visual blurring, spots or flashes, scotomata, ovarian enlargement with pelvic or abdominal pain.
See CONTRAINDICATIONS: Ovarian Cyst.
The toxic dose in humans is not known.
It is not known if Clomid is dialyzable.
In the event of overdose, appropriate supportive measures should be employed in addition to gastrointestinal decontamination.
The workup and treatment of candidates for Clomid therapy should be supervised by physicians experienced in management of gynecologic or endocrine disorders.
Patients should be chosen for therapy with Clomid only after careful diagnostic evaluation (see INDICATIONS AND USAGE).
The plan of therapy should be outlined in advance.
Impediments to achieving the goal of therapy must be excluded or adequately treated before beginning Clomid.
The therapeutic objective should be balanced with potential risks and discussed with the patient and others involved in the achievement of a pregnancy.
Ovulation most often occurs from 5 to 10 days after a course of Clomid.
Coitus should be timed to coincide with the expected time of ovulation.
Appropriate tests to determine ovulation may be useful during this time.
Treatment of the selected patient should begin with a low dose, 50 mg daily (1 tablet) for 5 days.
The dose should be increased only in those patients who do not ovulate in response to cyclic 50 mg Clomid.
Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome).
If progestin-induced bleeding is planned, or if spontaneous uterine bleeding occurs prior to therapy, the regimen of 50 mg daily for 5 days should be started on or about the 5th day of the cycle.
Therapy may be started at any time in the patient who has had no recent uterine bleeding.
When ovulation occurs at this dosage, there is no advantage to increasing the dose in subsequent cycles of treatment.
If ovulation does not appear to occur after the first course of therapy, a second course of 100 mg daily (two 50 mg tablets given as a single daily dose) for 5 days should be given.
This course may be started as early as 30 days after the previous one after precautions are taken to exclude the presence of pregnancy.
The majority of patients who are going to ovulate will do so after the first course of therapy.
If ovulation does not occur after three courses of therapy, further treatment with Clomid is not recommended and the patient should be reevaluated.
If three ovulatory responses occur, but pregnancy has not been achieved, further treatment is not recommended.
If menses does not occur after an ovulatory response, the patient should be reevaluated.
Long-term cyclic therapy is not recommended beyond a total of about six cycles (see PRECAUTIONS).

There could be many causes of infertility in addition to ovulatory disorders, including endometriosis, tubal disease, cervical factor and others.
Also, Clomid therapy should not be initiated until a semen analysis has been completed.
Clomid is generally a very effective drug for most women suffering from ovulatory dysfunction.
In fact, between 70% and 90% of women taking Clomid begin to ovulate within the first three cycles.
Additionally, 40% of couples become pregnant during the first three cycles.
It is important to be aware that there is a 5% to 10% chance of multiple pregnancy (especially twin pregnancy) when taking Clomid.

There are excellent discussions on Clomid at the Reproductive Care Center Web site and Huntington's Clomid domain.
The Center for Human Reproduction, North Shore Long Island Jewish fertility center has Clomid information and several fertility videos.
Many couples that have difficulty conceiving through natural methods choose to undergo various fertility treatments to increase their chances of becoming pregnant.
One of the most popular medications used to heighten fertility is Clomid.
Used for over 30 years to help induce and regulate ovulation, Clomid is often highly successful at producing a pregnancy.
If you and your partner are experiencing troubles conceiving, you may want to ask your fertility specialist about this medication.
Clomid is a fertility medication that is used to induce ovulation.
Known as clomiphene citrate, the drug is sold under the brand names Clomid and Serophene, and is available throughout the United Kingdom.
Because Clomid increases the number of mature follicles in the ovaries, the drug also increases the likelihood of ovulation and pregnancy.
Clomid works by acting on a number of different receptors in the body that regulate hormone production and release.
Clomid essentially tricks the body into believing that it has lowered levels of estrogen.
As a result, the brain begins to secrete increased levels of GnRH, which, in turn, stimulates the release of FSH and LH.
These hormones then trigger the ovaries to begin to mature more follicles.
Clomid is also used to increase the number of follicles available for IVF treatment procedures.
Clomid is taken orally on specific days of your menstrual cycle.
Depending upon your fertility clinic, you may be asked to take Clomid on Days 3-7 of your cycle, or Days 5-9 of your cycle.
Dosages usually begin at 50 mg.
Most women continue on this dosage for a cycle or two.
If there is no improvement in ovulation, the dosage can be increased to a maximum of 200 mg per day.
Clomid is normally taken for a maximum of six cycles, after which use will be discontinued if it proves ineffective and another type of infertility treatment will be recommended.
Occasionally, Clomid will be combined with additional hormonal medications.
Generally, Clomid side effects are mild and not particularly troublesome.
Clomid also experience changes in their cervical mucous.
Cervical mucous can then become hostile to sperm, making conception difficult.
The main risk associated with Clomid use is the potential for developing Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS).
OHSS can occur with the use of any type of ovulation stimulating drug.
It happens when cysts begin to form on the ovaries, causing them to swell to a very large size.
Typically, OHSS disappears without treatment but, without proper monitoring, the syndrome can become dangerous.
It is essential that your fertility specialist monitor you for signs of OHSS while you are taking Clomid.
It is important to be aware that there is a 5% to 10% chance of multiple pregnancy (especially twin pregnancy) when taking Clomid.

After having all the fertility tests, my doctor informed me that Clomid would be our only hope.
I took 50mg Clomid (the generic form) on cycle days 5-9.
Now, before taking this, I knew that my body tends to overreact to any drug I take, but I didn't think much of it...
I just wanted to become pregnant again.
When I finished the pills and had no side effects, I was so relieved.
I must add that I did have one side effect, and that was no CM.
Then, 2 days before my temp rose, I had terrible cramping.
I realized I may be ovulating, so DH and I had intercourse that night and the night afterwards.
Closer to the end of my cycle I got extremely moody and began gaining weight.
Then, my period was 3 days late, so I took a HPT, which was a BFN.
Two days later, at 17DPO, I went to my doctor to see what we could do to start my next cycle.
That was when I found out that I am pregnant!
My first round of clomid worked.
HOWEVER, I must warn anyone taking this medicine what happened to me after this.
I hope I don't scare anyone, but I wish I had known this could happen...
Almost a week after I discovered I really was pregnant, I moved the wrong way too quickly and felt terrible pains on my right side.
At first, I thought I'd pulled a muscle, but then an hour later I had to lie down.
When I got up an hour or two later to use the bathroom, I discovered that I couldn't stand up straight.
I stayed on the couch for hours - 16 hours, to be exact.
Finally, at 3:30am I ended up being sent to the ER where I had lots of tests done.
The doctors kept telling me that my appendix had ruptured or was about to rupture and that I needed surgery ASAP, regardless of the fact that I was then 5 weeks pregnant.
Before I went in, I told the surgeon to not touch the baby, no matter what.
She told me that she wouldn't go near my uterus, but that my OB would be there in case anything needed to be done with my reproductive organs.
Unfortunately, my OB was on vacation and his partner, who I'd never met, was the one in charge.
When I woke up from surgery, I was told that my appendix had been perfectly fine, but they removed it anyway.
What had actually happened was that I had something called "hyperstimulation syndrome" and that what had ruptured had been an extremely large ovarian cyst.
My DH was given certain choices about my surgery while I was under anesthesia.
Like, he was asked if the cyst should be removed.
He was told that the cyst was part of my Corpus Luteum, so if the cyst were removed, I would miscarry.
He was also asked if they could remove my entire ovary (which is the only working ovary I've got) but, I would miscarry then too.
My DH told the doctor to leave everything where it is, but was warned I may have to have another surgery.
DH explained that it would be easier for me to have a second surgery than to lose the pregnancy.
So, they finished to surgery according to what DH told them, thank goodness.
It's been over a month since my surgery, I am still not completely healed, but, thankfully, I am still pregnant.
I am now considered a high-risk pregnancy, since I was put under anesthesia.
GYN, my surgeon, and a parinatologist every month.
Clomid is truly a wonderful thing, but I think everyone should be warned of some of the medical conditions that may form because of it.
Also, if anyone has to have surgery during the first trimester, please make sure that your husband or whoever is with you at the time know what your wishes would be.
I am so fortunate that my DH stayed calm and didn't let anyone talk him into doing something horrible to me.
I wish everyone the best of luck.
I'm 40 years old and we have been ttc our second child for 1 year.
My ob started me on 50 mg of clomid this month, days 3-7.
Frequent headaches, night hot flashes, and moodiness having been coming and going all of these days.
On day 8 however, I felt a throbbing sensation where I would normally feel myself ovulating.
Haven't read this anywhere and surely I wouldn't be ovulating this soon!
I'm going today to get an ovulating kit and start testing.
We're only going to try clomid for a couple of months, and if I'm not pg by then, we've decided it's not meant for us to have another child.
It is more difficult to get pregnant when your older and I guess if we don't, then we probably shouldn't.
The throbbing could be from an overstimulated ovary so be certain to let your doctor know about it.
The severe side effects you are experiencing are from large fluctuations in hormones which your body is unable to offset.
That's not necessarily true that if you don't get pregnant using clomid after 40 then you probably shouldn't, but you have to follow what feels right for you.
So far no apparent side effects.
I wanted to share a tip with the readers.
Robitussin (Guaifenesin) is conducive for good cervical mucos.
I'm noticing a LOT more cervical mucos.
I started the 50mg of Clomid last month and took it days 5-9.
I did not have any side effect other than severe headaches.
After I finished the last pill I started having severe cramps.
Thought that I had ovulated but tests said no.
SEVERE headache and mild cramping.
What else could the fluid had been?
Am I supposed to get these cysts?
I have read a lot about women having miscarriages so does Clomid increase that risk?
I have read where the women miscarried.
I want a baby so bad yet I am patient and willing to go through a lot to have it happen.
It has brought me so much relief reading some of the stories.
Trying to have a baby now for 3 years with no success.
I am on my second clomid treatment this month it was 100mg.
I am taking clomid for the 2nd time.
The first month I took 50mg starting on day 5 and conceived.
I do not remember having any side effects at all.
Now, 2 years later I am at it again.
The first month I was on 50mg (starting on day 3) with only slight moodieness and I did not ovulate.
So, on came the progesterone pills to start my cycle and I am now on 100mg.
I have one more dose left and I can feel the moodiness already!
I am having no other side effects.
Keeping my fingers crossed that it will work this time!
Good luck for all of those trying to conceive and keep your fingers crossed for me!
TTC I have had my period maybe 6 times at most.
I did ovulate so that's positive.
I get my period in the next 5-7 days or if I am (hopefully!
I was extremely emotional and angry over nothing.
He's fairly understanding which is good!!
I love everyone's stories - they are a real source of encouragement!
GYN has diagnosed me with PCOS.
The side effects of the Clomid weren't too terrible.
The hot flashes were mainly at night.
My DH froze without complaint as I blasted the air all night!
I was a bit moody, but only had one day of extreme mood swings.
I am now anxiously awaiting my appointment with my MD tomorrow.
It will be good to find out that I successfully ovulated this month...
It will be GREAT to find out that we're PG!
Hi, I started the 50mg of Clomid last month and took it days 5-9.
I'm 34 and found out I have endometriosis in October.
I had laser treatment and took Lupron shots for 5 months.
This is my third month and not pg yet.
I have noticed feeling cold and then hot, especially at night.
I am also newly on Effexor since March.
Well thought I would share my side effects on Clomid 50mg.
We miscarried twice within that time.
I have not ovulated since then on my own.
I started my first round of clomid at 50 mg.
I got kind of hot on the 3rd night or 4th morning.
I went to get a pedicure after work.
I got a little dizzy and then all of a sudden, I couldn't speak.
I couldn't say anything except jibber jabber.
I could think something in my head but not get it to come out.
I could spit out uh huh or huh uh, but not much more.
I finally got myself home and was in tears because I was so scared.
I just cried and blubbered strange phrases and got super frustrated.
He didn't find anything very close but was convinced it was from the clomid.
I couldn't speak in complete sentences anymore again.
I had difficulties with a word here or there all weekend.
I was so embarrassed about not being able to talk.
Unfortunately, since it started on Friday night I couldn't reach my OBGYN.
By Sunday, the odd not-talking symptoms were much better.
By Monday, they were pretty much gone unless I got frustrated.
We left for a trip on Monday and I gained my speech back in full.
Unfortunately, at 9dpo AF came.
If not, I have to go to a specialist to find out what else is available.
I hope this helps someone else.
I had my 1st child 2 years 3months ago after trying for 3 years, I had one miscarriage in between.
We have been trying for our second child for 13 months all tests have been normal except for a low progesterone and my doctor suggested clomid 100mg for 4 cycles we are on our first cycle day 16.
I'm not sure whether i have ovulated or not I have had mood swings , headaches and lower abdo pain throughout.
It is very frustrating I am 37 and feel like time is running out.
I have just finished my first round or clomid 50mg and I know what my mother said hot flashes are horrible.
Being I have a seven year old son conceived naturally the first month of trying.
My doctor did all the testing before trying clomid.
My husband is ok but my progesterone levels are low so hopefully clomid will work.
I am so worried about multiple pregnancy doc said the odds are very low, but if that is god s plan so be it.
I wish every one luck with their ache for a child and hope next month I can post a pregnancy announcement.
My husband and I have been TTC for one year now, and we are on our third cycle of 50 mg Clomid.
I say my husband and I because he is sure going through this with me.
I have experienced HOT FLASHES!
My poor husband, one minute I am dying of heat, pushing him away and kicking off the blankets, the next minute I am stealing all the blankets and cuddling as close as I can get because I'm so cold from the drying sweat.
I used to make fun of my mom when she was going through menopause, but now?
I have noticed mood swings, but more on the first cycle than now.
Maybe my body is getting used to it?
Not fun, but at least my body is working now, and I have a little chance of having my own family.
It's almost worth all the mood swings and the hot flashes, just to know that at least now there's a chance!

Fertility drug: Clomiphene Reviewed by the BabyCenter Medical Advisory Board e-mail print share delicious stumble upon facebook digg mixx Highlights Brand names Is clomiphene for you?
Treatment: What to expect Length of treatment Side effects Success rates Cost Brand namesClomid, SeropheneIs clomiphene for you?
Clomiphene can help you conceive if you ovulate irregularly or not at all, particularly if you have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
If you have PCOS and this treatment doesn't seem to work for you, your doctor may also prescribe metformin, an insulin-sensitizing drug that can help you respond to clomiphene.
You might also take clomiphene (and other fertility drugs) before you undergo an assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), to encourage you to produce several eggs for the procedure.
Clomiphene can also help men with a hormonal imbalance (that originates in the pituitary gland or hypothalamus) linked to a low sperm count, or poor sperm quality or motility (its ability to move).
For more information about fertility drugs for men, click here.
Treatment: What to expectClomiphene is usually taken in pill form for one five-day cycle a month.
It helps you produce more of the hormones that trigger ovulation (follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH)), prompting your ovaries to produce one or more mature eggs, depending on how often you normally ovulate.
After you finish a cycle of clomiphene, your hypothalamus (the part of your brain that regulates basic functions such as temperature) releases luteinizing hormone (LH), which tells your ovaries to release your mature egg or eggs into your fallopian tubes.
If an egg meets up with a healthy sperm on its way to your uterus, you'll have a chance to conceive.
Length of treatmentIf your period is regular, you'll start taking clomiphene three to five days into your monthly menstrual cycle and continue taking it for about five days.
To figure out when your next menstrual cycle will begin, use our ovulation calculator.
If your period is irregular or absent, your doctor will make sure you're not pregnant and induce menstruation by prescribing a medication called Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate), so you can begin taking clomiphene.
You'll most likely ovulate five to 12 days after you take the last pill.
Your doctor will monitor you closely and often to see whether your ovaries are getting ready to release an egg.
Most women go through three to six cycles of treatment at the most (it can take a month or two of drug therapy for you to start ovulating regularly).
Your chance of getting pregnant doesn't improve if you take the drug longer, so if you don't succeed after three cycles, your doctor may increase the dosage or suggest another treatment.

Clomid is a well tested treatment that doctors have many years of experience with.
It is also a relatively safe and low risk medicine.
Clomid is used to treat ovary disorders and malfunctions and to prepare women for a clomiphene citrate challenge test (CCCT).
It helps the ovaries to perform two functions.
Clomid also helps to produce the hormones needed in the pregnancy process.
Clomid reduces estrogen production.
Low estrogen levels cause the pituitary gland produce more hormones to raise estrogen levels.
The pituitary gland produces more FSH and LH hormones which stimulate follicle and egg production in the ovaries.
By strengthening the weak egg producing processes, the ovaries produce more eggs.
Clomid can often help women who have eggs only two or three months per year to produce every month.
This greatly increases the changes of becoming pregnant.
Clomid also corrects luteal phase deficiency (LPD).
In LPD, the ovaries don't produce enough luteal hormone (LH).
Luteal hormone maintains the uterus's blood vessels which nourishes the embryo.
Lack of LH causes the uterine lining to fall out, similar to what happens in a monthly period.
Even when a women becomes pregnant, if her uterine lining is not strong enough, she miscarries.
Clomid treatment is usually preceded by tests to determine what is causing infertility.
If appropriate, the male partner should also be tested for infertility.
If the problem is in the ovaries, clomid is the first treatment usually given.
Clomid is taken orally starting on the cycle day 3, 4 or 5 and continued for five days.
Clomid is usually effective within three to six months and pregnancy does not occur doctors usually switch to another method.
Clomid is one of the safest fertility drugs available.
These should be reported to a doctor immediately.
Repeated, monthly Clomid usage should also be preceded by an ultrasound or a simple pelvic examination at the beginning of each menstrual cycle.
Unfortunately, many doctors do not perform this simple but important test.

Conception can be a tricky thing.
Some people are able to conceive a child quickly, without any trouble at all.
Other couples have a harder time and turn to infertility treatments to try to have a baby.
Clomiphene citrate, also called clomid, is a drug women can take to induce ovulation.
Clomid also normalizes hormone levels that are crucial to conception.
He will do some tests to see whether you are ovulating and have appropriate hormone levels.
He may test your partner's semen to determine whether the sperm count is at a normal level and the sperm are functioning properly.
Fill your prescription before your next menstrual cycle starts so you will be ready to start taking it on the specified day.
Clomid is usually taken for five days, starting on the third or fifth day of your cycle.
Mark your calender with "day 1" on the day your period starts.
This will make it easy to know when to start taking the clomid and will help you determine your conception and due dates if you become pregnant during this cycle.
Follow your doctor's instructions for your dosage of clomid.
Most women start off with 50 mg per day.
Jot down on your calendar which days you are taking the drug.
Wait patiently for a few days after taking clomid.
The medication is starting to adjust hormone levels in an attempt to make you ovulate around day 14 of your cycle.
Start to use an ovulation predictor kit around day 11 or 12 of your cycle.
Similar to a pregnancy test, this test will show a spike in the LH hormone right before ovulation occurs.
Have intercourse with your partner when you get the "green light" from the ovulation predictor kit.
Keep at it for the next few days for the best odds of hitting the narrow window of conception.
Keep your mind off baby-making for the next 2 weeks by going to movies, immersing yourself in a hobby or getting together with friends.
Take a pregnancy test if your period has not arrived when it is due.
If you do get your period, call your doctor and see what she suggests for the next step toward conception.
Some women experience hot flashes during the time that they take clomid.
Avoiding common triggers such as caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods can keep hot flashes to a minimum or eliminate them completely.
Do not take clomid if you have liver disease.
If you have liver problems and are having trouble conceiving, ask your doctor about other treatment options.

Clomid and Ovulation: Is Clomid Right for You?
The friendliest place for moms and moms-to-be!
Clomiphene citrate, also known by its brand names Clomid and Serophene, is a drug you have probably heard about.
You may be curious how Clomid works and when you might need to take Clomid.
Clomid is a fertility drug used to induce ovulation.
It is the most commonly prescribed fertility drug.
If you are having problems trying to get pregnant, you may be thinking about talking to your doctor about prescribing Clomid.
How do you know if Clomid is right for you?
Clomid is an ovulation induction medication.
Not all women with fertility problems should take Clomid.
Your doctor should screen you to see if Clomid is recommended.
Couples that have been trying to conceive and have not gotten pregnant could have any number of problems.
Proper testing and evaluation by a doctor is necessary to determine what is the best course of action for you.
If you are not ovulating, ovulating irregularly, or have irregular periods Clomid may be recommended for you.
During the first half of a normal menstrual cycle, follicles in your ovaries begin to mature and enlarge.
Each of these follicles contains an egg.
These follicles nurture the growing egg.
As they mature, they produce estrogen.
Estrogen levels are low in the beginning of your cycle.
Your body communicates with hormones.
Low estrogen levels tell your body to produce GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone).
GnRH is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates the production of FSH and LH.
FSH, which stands for follicle stimulating hormone, does exactly what it sounds like, it stimulates the follicles to grow and mature.
As they grow and ripen they produce more estrogen.
This rise in estrogen triggers a release of LH, also known as an LH surge.
When LH levels surge, it signals the mature egg to be released from the follicle.
Ovulation occurs within 12-24 hours after the LH surge.
How does Clomid work to induce ovulation?
Clomid works by blocking estrogen receptors in the brain.
Hormones attach to hormone receptors to communicate.
Think of it like a puzzle piece that fits together.
When estrogen attaches to its receptor cell in the hypothalamus it communicates and lets the brain know that estrogen levels are increasing.
Clomid has a similar structure to estrogen.
Clomid attaches to the receptor cell in the hypothalamus, which keeps the estrogen from attaching.
Your body tries to kick up the production of estrogen by producing more GnRH.
GnRH is what causes the release of FSH and LH.
And FSH is what makes the follicles ripen and produce more estrogen.
If the Clomid does what it is supposed to, your body will be tricked into producing more FSH and LH, which will hopefully cause your body to ovulate.
How do you know if you need Clomid?
Your doctor will want to see if you are ovulating normally.
If you have an irregular cycle there is a good chance you are not ovulating normally.
It is a good idea to keep a record of your cycle if you are trying to conceive.
Keeping a bbt chart of your cycles will help your doctor determine whether or not you are ovulating.
You may also want to use a fertility monitor.
Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are a great way to determine if and when you are ovulating.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dosage of Clomid.
Standard starting dosage is around 50 mg.
Clomid is generally given on days 3-7 or days 5-9 of your cycle.
Three days after your period starts or five days after your period starts) If you are not having a regular period, your doctor may prescribe medication to induce a period.
He will give you a pregnancy test before he does this.
Clomid is taken orally and should be taken the same time each day for five days.
If ovulation occurs it is generally a week or so after taking your last dosage of Clomid.
Your doctor will probably have you keep a bbt chart or use an ovulation prediction kit to see if you have ovulated.
He may also perform an ultrasound to check the number and size of the developing follicles.
Because Clomid works to block estrogen receptors, it not only blocks the receptors in the hypothalamus, but it also blocks the receptors in the cervix.
Estrogen helps encourages the production of fertile cervical mucous.
With the receptor cells being blocked your body may produce dry or hostile cervical mucous which is not the best environment for transporting sperm into the uterus.
Your doctor may prescribe a low dose of estrogen to help with this.
Other side effects of Clomid are hot flashes, mood swings, headaches, visual disturbances, and hyperstimulation syndrome.
Tylenol may help to relieve some of these symptoms.
There is also a ten percent chance of having twins while taking Clomid.
Your doctor will start off with a low dosage of Clomid and may increase your dosage if ovulation does not occur.
Most authorities recommend taking Clomid for no more than six cycles.
If pregnancy does not occur in this time frame, your doctor will probably look into another treatment for you.
According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, up to 45 percent of women receiving Clomid will become pregnant after six cycles.

IUI, usually in combination with FSH.
Please let me know if anybody knows anything about clomid?
Clomid is a pill that aids in ovulation.
It is usually given to the female during infertility treatments to make her ovulate (it is used to correct the problem of females not ovulating).
It can also be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment.
There is an increase in teh chances of multiple births (twins, triplets, etc), however the chances of twins is only abotu 13%.
Clomid is usually started off in 50 miligram doses.
You take it during your period (usually days 5-9 if I remember correctly).
It is generally low in side effects, however I was one of the unlucky people who WAS effected by the side effects.
I was a bit off with my hearing ability (certain things sounded loud), and I was a bit jumpy (scared easily).
I also got a bit dizzy on it as well.
So if you are going to take it, make sure you are abel to see how you react to it before you begin driving or working after takign it.
I know some people who have had infertility problems and sucessfully got pregnant on Clomid after only one or two months on it.
Everyone is different, and it also depends on your specific infertility issues.
I did not achieve pregnancy from Clomid (after 6 months of being on it), so we resulted to a more agressive treatement (daily injections) to get pregnant.
But alot of people get pregnant on Clomid!

I did one round of Clomid at 100mg and got pregnant.
It does work just stay positive:) Good luck!
My doctor put me on Clomid and this is my 3rd month on it.
I have had hot flashes and dizziness and other side effects that are just like PMS.
I am feeling very hopeful about Clomid though.
I am just glad that I am taking steps to getting pregnant.
I was scared that they would tell me something horrible, but now i am glad i am doing something.
Well first of all, you cant just go to your regular dr and ask for clomid and they will give it to you.
You need to be seeing an OBGYN or fertility specialist.
You also need to have been trying to get pregnant for around a year with no luck (6mths if your over 30yrs old).
The dr will perform an HSG on you to see if your tubes are blocked or scarred...
And he will also ask your man to do a semen analysis to rule him out as the reason why your not getting pregnant.
Once all that is done and you get the meds, you will take it from either days 3-7 or 5-9 of your cycle.
Clomid doesnt always work, I was on it for 5 cycles and it did nothing for me.
I was then tested for PCOS and found out I had it.
After nearly 3yrs of trying to get pregnant I was put on Metformin and got pregnant my first month on it, with our daughter.
We TTC for 2 years and 11 months, were given one round of 50mg of Clomid and guess what, we are now 10 weeks pregnant with twins!!
It is very rare to conceive twins on the 50 mg dose.
I had a great experience with Clomid.
A bit of moodiness and also some hot flashes in the middle of the night.
Other than that, no other problems.
I ovulated regularly but this seemed to make things work for us.
Good luck and baby dust to you!
My cowrker started on 50 mg of Clomid and got pregnant the first time.
So, I went to a doctor and he gave me 100 mg and I have to take a pregnancy test on Sunday.

Does clomid regulate your period?
Clomiphene citrate (CC, Clomid, Serophene) is often the first fertility drug that couples come in contact with.
It is (relatively) inexpensive as fertility drugs go, it is easily taken (orally rather than by injection) and it is the first line drug used for ovulation induction in patients with PCOS and other ovulatory disorders.
It has been used for patients with luteal phase defect.
Clomid is not useful for women whose ovaries have reached the end of their working life.
Clomid is actually quite a potent and somewhat complicated medication.
It is capable of reacting with all of the tissues in the body that have estrogen receptors.
These tissues include hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary, endometrium, vagina, and cervix.
Clomid influences the way that the four hormones required for ovulation, GnRH, FSH, LH and estradiol, relate and interrelate.
While we do not completely understand the mechanisms by which this drug works, in essence it appears that Clomid fools the body into believing that the estrogen level is low.
This altered feedback information causes the hypothalamus (an area of the brain) to make and release more gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which in turn causes the pituitary to make and release more FSH and LH.
More follicle stimulating hormone and more luteinizing hormone should result in the release of one or more mature eggs - ovulation.
When used for ovulation induction, Clomid is taken orally for approximately five days early in the menstrual cycle.
Depending upon your clinic protocol this may start as early as day 3 or as late as day 5.
It is important to remember that the first day of the menstrual cycle is the first day of normal bleeding, not spotting.
Most women begin with an initial dose of one tablet (50 mg.
This dose may be increased by your physician in subsequent cycles if pregnancy does not occur.
Once ovulating, most pregnancies occur in the first 6 cycles of treatment.
Clomid is said to be able to induce ovulation in as much as 85% of the women who use it, though only half of those will actually become pregnant.
Most authorities agree that continuing for more than 6 ovulatory cycles in not likely to increase the chances of success.
At many clinics a pelvic examination or ultrasound is done each cycle shortly before starting on CC in order to determine if there are any ovarian or uterine abnormalities.
Approximately 5% of women using Clomid will develop an ovarian cyst at some time during their treatment period.
These cysts are benign and will usually resolve spontaneously without any treatment, but may cause discomfort.
If you are using Clomid and do not have a menstrual period by cycle day 35, you may have failed to ovulate or you may be pregnant!
In either event you need to schedule a visit to your doctor to ascertain what is happening.
If you are not pregnant, your doctor may prescribe other medications to help bring on your period.
Extended luteal phases (late periods, long cycles) are not uncommon on Clomid.
Twin pregnancies may occur in as many as 5% of the women who use Clomid.
Triplet pregnancies are far more rare.
Other reported adverse effects include ovarian enlargement 13.
Although there has been much talk about the relationship of clomiphene (and other fertility drugs) to ovarian cancer the vast majority of the evidence now seems to point at infertility itself, rather than the use of fertility drugs as being the primary explanation for the slightly increased incidence of reproductive cancers in the infertility population.
See recent discussion on our boards.
Clomid has been used to induce ovulation for more that thirty years.
There is not any evidence that it causes an increase in congenital abnormalities or birth defects in children.
It is not associated with an increase in premature labor or in other complications of pregnancy.
Clomid is not used to regulate cycles.
It is also normal to stop bleeding during taking the Clomid.
It just means that your cycle has ended.
Clomid is used to promote ovulation.
This med does not work for everyone.
I was on it for 3 months (100mg each) and did not ovulate while I was on it.

Clomid is a fertility drug used for the treatment of infertility,or ovulation disorders.
Clomid may be used to treat women with complete failure to ovulate, irregular ovulation, or for the treatment of a luteal phase defect.
Clomid acts by causing the pituitary gland to produce higher levels of the hormones (FSH and LH) that control ovulation.
The fertility drug Clomid is taken in pill form usually from the 5th through the 9th day of the menstrual cycle - day 1 is the first day of full menstrual flow.
The usual starting dose of Clomid is 1 tablet per day.
Clomid may be taken at any time of day and if more than 1 pill is prescribed, the total dose may be taken all at the same time.
In a small percentage of patients, Clomid interferes with endometrial development (the uterine lining) or with cervical mucous development.
These potential fertility drug side effects are ruled out using the appropriate fertility tests.
At mid cycle, many patients are given the fertility drug human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG, Pregnyl, Ovidrel).
CG is a hormone, given by injection, that mimics the pituitary glands message to the ovary to release the egg(s).
It is helpful in timing intercourse and when performing artificial insemination (IUI).
CG also has a beneficial effect on hormone production during the luteal phase (the second half of the ovarian cycle).
Clomid can sometimes produce side effects.
These side effects are usually temporary and mild.
However, there are several case reports of persistent blurred vision after Clomid treatment.
Occasionally Clomid causes moodiness or even mild depression.
Clomid is a highly effective fertility drug for stimulating ovulation.
Approximately 80% of women who are treated with Clomid will ovulate.
Pregnancy rates vary depending on other factors - sperm count, etc.
Most Clomid pregnancies occur within the first 3 or 4 treatment cycles.
Approximately 8% of Clomid conceptions are multiple - twins or more.
This may occur even on the lowest dose of Clomid.
Approximately 10% of women who are treated with Clomid will develop an ovarian cyst.
For this reason, a pelvic examination is performed at the end of each treatment cycle, around the time of the menstrual period.
If an ovarian cyst is detected, Clomid treatment is withheld during the following cycle.
The ovarian cyst usually resolves without further treatment.
Clomid has been in clinical use for over 30 years.
There is a large amount of data that suggests that babies born as a product of Clomid treatment have a normal risk of congenital anomalies - not higher and not lower.
Clomid is widely used and is generally accepted as a safe fertility drug in this regard.
Clomid treatment has been connected to two potentially serious clinical events.
Their frequency is rare, or extremely rare, and in some cases a proven link to Clomid treatment as the cause is not clear.
There have been at least two publications suggesting there may be a link between the fertility drug clomiphene citrate (Clomid) and increased risk of ovarian tumors.
A second study was published in 1994 with long-term follow-up of a large number of infertility patients.
This study showed an increased risk of ovarian cancer in women using Clomid for ovulation induction.
The increased risk was noted only in women using the fertility drug for 12 or more treatment cycles (that is - 12 total cycles not necessarily consecutive).
Since these initial publications, there have been several larger studies of this issue, which have concluded that there is not a link between Clomid (or any other fertility drug) and an increased risk of ovarian cancer.
A follow-up to check for ovarian enlargement on Clomid therapy is performed either a week before the period is due (allowing for a blood test to check progesterone level) or at the end of the cycle.
Your doctor will tell you what to schedule.
Cycle day one is the first day of full flow bleeding.
The fertility drug Clomid is taken days 5 thru 9 of your cycle.
Clomid is a medication that can be prescribed for the treatment of infertility in women.
It works by causing an egg to mature and be released from the ovaries.
Clomid, which comes in a 50-mg tablet, is taken once daily for five days during the menstrual cycle.
Potential side effects of the medication may include hot flashes, breast pain, and vision changes.

Although it is also sold under the brand name Serophene, clomiphene, a type of fertility medication, is most commonly referred to by its other brand name, Clomid.
Used in women with ovulation problems, Clomid is a very common, inexpensive and popular type of fertility treatment.
How it Works Used to help regulate or induce ovulation, clomiphene assists in increasing the production of egg maturation in the ovaries.
Clompihene is taken orally via a pill on days 3 to 7 or 5 to 9 of your menstrual cycle.
In order to regulate your ovulation, Clomid sends a message to your pituitary gland, telling it that it needs to start or needs to secrete more FSH and LH.
This increased level of hormones then signals to your ovaries that it is time to start maturing some eggs.
Because of the higher level of FSH and LH in your system, your egg production and ovulation is improved thus facilitating ovulation.
In addition to helping women with ovulation problems, Clomid may also be used for women who are found to have a luteal phase defect.
Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome are also likely to have Clomid prescribed.
Men who have hormonal imbalances may be prescribed clomiphene in some situations.
However, the use of this treatment has not been proven and the FDA has yet to approve the use of Clomid for men.
Since Clomid helps to increase the number of eggs that are produced by the follicles, this fertility medication is also often used in women who are undergoing assisted reproductive techniques and require multiple eggs to be retrieved.
This is called superovulation and increases the chances of multiple births.
Getting Monitored To ensure that Clomid is working as it should, and that ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome does not occur, you will require close monitoring by your fertility specialist.
This will also help to determine just how well your body is responding to the clomiphene and whether or not it is necessary to increase your dosage.
Generally, most women start out on 50mg tablets.
This is the minimum dosage that can be prescribed.
If your body does not seem to respond to this during the first cycle, the dosage will be increased to 100mg.
If your body still does not respond, your Clomid can be increased up to a maximum of 200mg, although this is not normally recommended.
In some cases, it may be necessary to supplement the Clomid with another type of hormonal medication in order to stimulate ovulation.
About 80% of women will respond and ovulate within the first three cycles, though.
Side Effects of Clomid In general, the side effects of Clomid tend to be fairly mild.
However, about a third of all Clomid users will develop hostile cervical mucus.
This is cervical mucus that is not conducive to conception and in fact tends to kill off sperm thereby making conception next to impossible.
While there are a number of severe side effects, these tend to be mainly associated with higher doses of the drug.
In the past, there was also thought to be a link between ovarian cancer and Clomid use.
However, this link has been disputed and most current studies have not been able to find a link between the use of fertility drugs and ovarian cancer.
Clomid and Twins Clomid is also associated with a 10% increase in the chance of having twins.
There is also the possibility of conceiving triplets, or more, however, the chances of multiple births while using Clomid is generally thought to be extremely low.
Unprescribed Clomid Thanks to the internet, it is now easier than ever for women to get their hands on Clomid.
As a result, a number of women who are not experiencing fertility problems have begun using Clomid as an inexpensive way to increase their chances of conceiving twins.
Although Clomid can increase the chances of conceiving multiples compared to the general population, many agree that this increase is not significant.
Moreover, the use of unprescribed Clomid is both dangerous and possibly detrimental to your chances of conceiving.
Since the drug is not prescribed, health care providers cannot properly monitor their patients that are using it.
Without close monitoring, it is difficult to know whether or not the Clomid is even affecting your body.
Additionally, it can cause the signs of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) to go unnoticed.
OHSS is a serious complication in any woman who uses fertility drugs and severe cases require immediate medical attention.
Even if OHSS does not occur, women who use Clomid but do not have any ovulation problems may actually be making their body less effective at getting pregnant.
Clomid Success Rates Ovualtion rates with Clomid are generally very good.
Between 70% and 90% of women using Clomid will ovulate within the first three cycles.
Although the pregnancy success rates of Clomid will vary according to a variety of factors, on average, about 40% of women will be able to successfully conceive within the first three months of using Clomid.
The live birth rate for women using Clomid is estimated to be between 30% and 60%.

GYNs and infertility specialists (reproductive endocrinologists).
As discussed in the fertility drug introduction section, the hypothalamus regulates the production of various hormones including FSH and LH.
Clomid is known as an ovulation induction agent and it is used in women who do not ovulate (anovulatory), or ovulate irregularly.
FSH products cause follicular development by directly stimulating the ovaries.
As follicles develop, they increase production of estrogen, which travels to the hypothalamus and signals a corresponding reduction in FSH production.
FSH production by the pituitary continues.
Unlike FSH, increasing the dose of Clomid does not correspondingly increase follicular development.
Once ovulation is occurring regularly on Clomid, there is no advantage to further increasing the dosage.
Numerous scientific studies demonstrate that Clomid pregnancies usually occur during the first three months of administration.
There is generally no advantage to using Clomid for longer than 3-6 ovulatory cycles, or increasing the dose, in women who are ovulating regularly.
All women receiving Clomid need careful monitoring with ultrasound.
Unfortunately, many women are maintained on Clomid for prolonged periods without understanding the other infertility issues that may be involved.
Clomid therapy is often continued, by non-specialists, without a plan to optimize future fertility treatments.
If mild male factor is present, treatment with Clomid should be combined with intrauterine insemination (IUI), however, treatment should not continue indefinitely.
Severe male factor infertility is usually best treated using IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Clomid is not without side effects, which can include persistent ovarian cysts, poor cervical mucus, ovarian enlargement, adverse effects on the endometrium (lining of the uterus), and psychological effects including depression and anxiety.
Reproductive endocrinologists conduct a complete workup and if Clomid is indicated it is usually, administered for 3-6 months.
If other fertility issues are discovered in the female or male, they will be resolved prior to Clomid therapy.

Clomid Use and Abuse by Gary S.
Some women can't get pregnant because they don't secrete enough LH and FSH at the right time during the cycle and, as a result, they don't ovulate.
For these women, the first drug doctors often prescribe is clomiphene citrate (Clomid, Serophene).
This synthetic drug stimulates the hypothalamus to release more GnRH, which then prompts the pituitary to release more LH and FSH, and thus increases the stimulation of the ovary to begin to produce a mature egg.
Clomiphene is a good first choice drug when a woman's ovaries are capable of functioning normally and when her hypothalamus and pituitary are also capable of producing their hormones.
In short, the woman's reproductive engine is in working order, but needs some revving up.
Structurally like estrogen, clomiphene binds to the sites in the brain where estrogen normally attaches, called estrogen receptors.
Once these receptor sites are filled up with clomiphene, they can't bind with natural estrogen circulating in the blood and they are fooled into thinking that the amount of estrogen in the blood is too low.
In response, the hypothalamus releases more GnRH, causing the pituitary to pump out more FSH, which then causes a follicle to grow to produce more estrogen and start maturing an egg to prepare for ovulation.
If a woman is menstruating, even if irregularly, clomiphene is usually effective, particularly if she develops follicles that aren't reaching normal size.
Usually, a mature follicle is about 20 millimeters in diameter, or about the size of a small grape, just before it ruptures and releases its egg.
Clomiphene may help small, immature follicles grow to maturity.
A low estradiol level in a woman's blood correlates with an inadequately stimulated, small follicle.
Clomiphene could boost the weak signals from the hypothalamus to the pituitary to the ovaries.
A woman who ovulates infrequently, say at six-week intervals or less often, is also a good candidate for clomiphene therapy, since clomiphene will induce ovulation more frequently.
The more a woman ovulates, the more opportunities her mature eggs have to be exposed to her husband's sperm and, therefore, the greater her chance to become pregnant.
Clomiphene is also often effective for a woman with luteal phase defect (LPD).
A woman with LPD may begin the ovulation process properly, but her ovarian function becomes disrupted, resulting in low production of the hormone progesterone in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
Following ovulation, the ovary produces progesterone, the hormone needed to prepare the uterine lining for implantation of the fertilized egg, which has divided and entered the uterine cavity.
A fall in progesterone levels in the blood during this critical time can interfere with early embryo implantation or, even if a fertilized egg has already implanted, cause a woman to menstruate too early and end a pregnancy within a few days after implantation.
Using an LH-urine detector kit or keeping a basal body temperature (BBT) chart can help a woman taking clomiphene determine whether the luteal phase of her cycle is shorter than the normal fourteen days.
The luteal phase of the cycle, the length of time from ovulation until she menstruates, has a normal range of thirteen to fifteen days.
Clomiphene can often "tune up" the hypothalamus and pituitary so they keep producing the hormones the ovary needs to manufacture progesterone throughout the luteal phase.
Of women whose only fertility problem is irregular or no ovulation at all, about 80 percent will ovulate and about 50 percent will become pregnant within six months of clomiphene treatments.
About three percent of women on clomiphene have a multiple pregnancy, usually twins, compared with about one percent in the general population.
If a woman responds to clomiphene and develops a mature follicle (determined by adequate estrogen production and ultrasound examination), but has no LH surge by cycle day 15, then injection of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which actslike LH, can be given to stimulate final egg maturation and follicle rupture, releasing the egg.
The woman tends to ovulate about 36 hours after the LH surge or HCG injection, which can be confirmed by further ultrasound scans.
Clomiphene is a relatively inexpensive drug, and is taken orally for only five days each month.
The doctor attempts to initiate clomiphene therapy so that the woman ovulates on or around day 14 of a regular 28-day cycle.
The simplest, most widely used dose starts with one daily 50 mg.
If a woman ovulates at this dose, there is no advantage to her increasing the dosage.
In other words, more of the drug isn't necessarily better.
In fact, more may be worse, producing multiple ovulation, causing side effects such as an ovarian cyst or hot flashes, and most commonly, interfering with her fertile mucus production (Emphasis is Theresa Venet Grant's.
If a woman doesn't ovulate after taking one clomiphene tablet for five days, then her doctor will usually double the daily dose to two tablets (100 mg) in her next cycle, and if she still doesn't respond, then triple the daily dose to 150 mg, or add another fertility medication such as human menopausal gonadotropin (Pergonal) in the next cycle.
Some doctors increase the dose up to 250 mg.
NOT recommended by either of the drug's two manufacturers.
Women tend to have side effects much more frequently at higher doses.
If the dose of clomiphene is too high, the uterine lining may not respond completely to estrogen and progesterone stimulation, and may not develop properly.
As a result, a woman's fertilized egg may not be able to implant in her uterus.
Because Clomiphene binds to estrogen receptors, including the estrogen receptors in the cervix, it can interfere with the ability of the cervical mucus glands to be stimulated by estrogen to produce fertile mucus.
Only "hostile" or dry cervical mucus may develop in the days preceding ovulation.
If this occurs, adding a small amount of estrogen beginning on cycle day 10 and continuing until the LH surge may enhance cervical mucus production.
Some women taking clomiphene experience hot flashes and premenstrual-type symptoms, such as migraines and breast discomfort (particularly if they have fibrocystic disease of the breasts).
Visual symptoms such as spots, flashes or blurry vision are less common and indicate that treatment should stop.
Clomiphene is a very safe medication with relatively few contraindications.
Preexisting liver disease is one contraindication since clomiphene is metabolized by the liver.
Enlarged ovaries are also a contraindication since clomiphene may occasionally produce hyperstimulation of the ovaries.
The hot flashes are just like the hot flashes women experience at menopause when the level of estrogen circulating in the blood is low.
The clomiphene fools the brain into thinking that blood estrogen levels are low.
Too often, doctors give clomiphene to women with unexplained infertility before the couple has a fertility workup, or even after they have a workup, but there is no evidence of an ovulation disorder.
This empiric therapy may create new problems, such as interfering with fertile mucus production, and often delays further evaluation that can lead to a specific diagnosis and proper treatment.
For a woman who has normal, spontaneous ovulation, driving the pituitary harder with clomiphene won't make ovulation any more normal.
If a woman has taken clomiphene for several cycles without becoming pregnant, then she and her fertility specialist should investigate other conditions that may be preventing her pregnancy.
After noting a good postcoital test (PCT) during a fertility workup, some doctors fail to repeat the test after placing a woman on clomiphene.
A PCT needs to be repeated to check the quality of the woman's cervical mucus while she is on clomiphene, since 25 percent or more of women who take the drug develop cervical mucus problems.
It's important for a woman to monitor her cervical mucus production during every cycle while trying to become pregnant, including her cycles while taking clomiphene.
Clomid and IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination), a primer.
IVF as well as the nuts and bolts of a typical IVF cycle on this website.
But as I may have mentioned previously, all fertility treatments come with an increased chance of conceiving multiple babies.
This is by virtue of the fact that treatments either tend to result in more eggs being ovulated than normal or placing more sperm in the vicinity of the eggs (eg IUI), or both, in order to overcome barriers to conception and increase the odds of a pregnancy.
So, in this article I shall take a step back and discuss less invasive fertility treatments.
Femara being the most common examples in use) and IUI.
Clomid is commonly prescribed for women who have disorders of ovulation (infrequent or absent), for example poly-cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
Clomid, by nature of the way it works, is not effective in other causes of amenorrhea (absent periods) such as hypothalamic causes (extreme weight loss, dieting or exercise are common precipitants of this sort of problem) as it requires the hypothalamus and pituitary to be working normally.
Clomid comes from a class of drugs that have the formal name of estrogen receptor antagonists.
This (to be slightly facile) does not mean that they are unusually argumentative in the presence of estrogen receptors in the body, but that they have the ability to bind to estrogen receptors and then block them- so that nothing happens.
To put it another way estrogen receptors all over your body (for example in your brain, uterus, and many other locations) in the normal state of affairs will have estrogen bind to them and in turn this causes a cascade of events to follow (for example again, in the case of your uterus, the lining grows and thickens in preparation for ovulation of an egg midcycle).
Made by the ovary to prepare the lining of the womb for a potential fertilised egg.
The system works like a hierarchical system, with feedback loops so that each level knows what the others are up to.
So, just to quickly recap before continuing further, there are three levels of control, three groups of hormones and three phases of the menstrual cycle.
Cycle day one, by convention, is considered the first day of full flow.
At this point, estrogen and progesterone levels are low and the endometrium (lining of the womb) is shed because it relies on the presence of these two hormones.
In the follicular phase (first half of the menstrual cycle), the brain senses the low levels of estrogen, and in response the pituitary makes FSH.
As can be seen from the diagram, FSH then stimulates the ovary to make estrogen by beginning to grow egg follicles.
FSH begins to decline, thus the follicles compete for decreasing FSH until there is usually only one left.
This is the follicle that is ovulated at midcycle.
Once the dominant follicle produces enough estrogen, a surge of LH (the other main hormone the pituitary talks to the ovary with) is triggered, which acts to mature and release the egg.
The second half of the menstrual cycle then begins, as LH levels rise.
The LH acts to stimulate the remnant of the egg follicle that was ovulated (now called a corpus luteum) to make the progesterone which helps prepare the uterine lining for possible implantation of a fertilised egg.
If no fertilised egg implants, and signals the corpus luteum to continue producing progesterone by virtue of the hCG it makes, the corpus luteum breaks down and the cycle begins again with menstruation.
Clomid blocks estrogen receptors.
Therefore, in response to perceived low estrogen (because the receptors are blocked), more FSH is released.
More FSH means more signals to the ovary to grow egg follicles, and thus Clomid can help women who ovulate rarely or poorly to mature and release an egg.
Femara works in a slightly different way, but the net effect is the same- more FSH to stimulate the ovaries to grow a mature egg.
Clomid is usually taken for a total of five days in the early part of the menstrual cycle.
The exact starting day is not important, and is usually acceptable anywhere from day 2 to day 5.
There is some theory that taking Clomid earlier may develop more follicles, but the pregnancy rates are the same with either protocol.
A common starting dose is 50mg (one tablet), but women with PCOS may take less (25mg), and some women need more.
What to expect when taking Clomid.
Many women taking Clomid will notice few side effects.
Those that do occur are usually related to the estrogen blocking effect of the medication- hot flashes, less vaginal mucus and sometimes spotting on the days the pills are taken.
One of the reasons that increasingly high doses of Clomid are not usually prescribed is that as the doses get higher, the antiestrogenic negative side effects tend to increase which decrease the odds of pregnancy.
These also include thinning of the lining of the womb and thickening of the cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to get through.
Your doctor may monitor you via vaginal ultrasound scans to ensure you are making follicles in response to the Clomid and that your uterine lining is developing appropriately.
You may also have a blood test at seven days post ovulation to confirm your progesterone is adequate.
In the absence of any other fertility issue, the odds of success of Clomid are about the same as natural conception- about 15-20% per cycle.
Because the control of how many follicles are maturing is not as fine as it is in the normal menstrual cycle, the chance of multiple pregnancy is higher, variously quoted as in the range of 6-10%.
The great majority of these will be twins.
IUI will be trialled before moving on to injectable FSH treatments.
In the normal course of events, many of the sperm that are deposited in the upper vagina in sexual intercourse are lost getting through the cervix, and further up into the uterus.
Despite the fact that there may be many millions of sperm in a single ejaculate, relatively few of these will make it as far as the fallopian tube in order to fertilise an egg.
It takes only one sperm to make a baby, but millions to get it there, simply put.
IUI is a treatment that bypasses the cervix and vagina and allows many more sperm than would usually make it into the uterus to get there, thus raising the odds of conception.
IUI is especially useful in situations where the cervical mucus is too thick to allow the sperm to swim though easily (as can happen with Clomid sometimes), or where there is milder forms of male factor infertility (borderline low counts, motility etc.
See here for more of a discussion of infertility diagnoses).
It is a relatively simple procedure, much like a pap smear, where a fine catheter is threaded through the cervix.

Clomid is a drug given to women for use as a fertility aid.
It is a SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator) which acts by actually binding to the estrogen receptor and thereby blocking estrogen from doing the same.
Clearly, this is advantageous when it binds to breast tissue, and prevents estrogen from binding there to cause gynocomastia (although it is not nearly as effective as nolvadex for this purpose).
It also opposes the negative feedback loop that the body has with regards to estrogen and the HPTA (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis), and this in turn stimulates LH (Leutenizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone).
LH and FSH, in turn stimulate the release of testosterone.
Clearly this is advantageous to bodybuilders and athletes coming off of a cycle, and beginning their post-cycle-therapy.
What we have in Clomid is essentially a drug that acts as a preventative measure against gynocomastia, as well as a drug that acts to raise endogenous (natural) testosterone levels.
Usually, it is compared with another SERM, Nolvadex, for those reasons.
Clomid, however, is much weaker than nolvadex in a mg for mg comparison, with roughly 150mgs of clomid being equal to 20mgs of nolvadex (1).
It should be noted, however, that 150mgs of clomid will still raise testosterone levels to approximately 150% of baseline value(1).
I suspect that Duchaine originally introduced this compound to the steroid using community.
Clomid, just like nolvadex, is very safe for long term treatment of lowered testosterone levels (2), with some studies showing its safety and efficacy for up to four months.
And post-cycle, when steroid users are suffering form lowered testosterone levels, is when clomid is most effective.
I used to run Clomid for about 3 weeks post cycle, at 100-150mgs.
Any more than that, and I experience emotional side effects (no, really) due to the excess amount of circulating estrogen I have in my body.
A problem arose during a very aggressive Clomid PCT routine once.
When I looked into the subject more closely, this was a common occurrence with steroid.

Clomid is the first line of attack against infertility for many women who have problems with ovulation.
Amos Grunebaum, MD, medical director of the WebMD Fertility Center, joined us for a look at what Clomid can, and can't, do to help you conceive.
He answered our questions on WebMD Live on Sept.
MEMBER QUESTION:I just got off the birth control pill 5.
I always had irregular periods before I ever went on the pill.
I have had three periods since I got off the pill.
We have been having relations regularly.
Should I be concerned yet and consider Clomid, or just wait it out?
AMOS:Regularity of the cycle depends on when and if you ovulate.
So the first step is establishing the answer to that question.
Doing a fertility chart will quickly answer this issue about ovulation.
Once you have an ovulation chart you should be able to decide on the next steps.
If you ovulate then a sperm test is the next test.
MEMBER QUESTION:What is the difference between Clomid and Provera, and is it true that both of these drugs have strong side effects, including dramatic mood swings and anger?
AMOS:These are both totally, totally different drugs.
Clomid induces ovulation, while Provera makes you bleed but has no influence on ovulation.
Their side effects may be similar.
MEMBER QUESTION:Is Clomid appropriate to restore ovulation after discontinuing birth control pills or shots?
AMOS:If you haven' ovulated three to four months after stopping BCP then the first step is to find out why.
Clomid is not necessarily the first answer because you first must find out why you don't ovulate.
If, for example, you don't ovulate because the eggs are not good enough or you are menopausal then Clomid won't help get you pregnant.
MEMBER QUESTION:I am ovulating according to OPKs but my cycles vary from 26-35 days.
My ob-gyn says that Clomid might restore some regularity -- should I try it?
AMOS:An OPK is not a good enough indicator of ovulation, especially with such irregular cycles.
So the first step is to do a temperature chart and find out exactly when you ovulate.
This information should tell you why your cycles are irregular and help figure out the right treatment.
If you haven't ovulated three to four months after stopping BCP then the first step is to find out why.
MEMBER QUESTION:I have been told to take progesterone suppositories starting the day after I ovulate.
They first gave me Clomid, but I still spot a couple of days before my period and I also have a shorter LP (10-12) days.
Is progesterone the way to deal with this?
We've both been tested and there seems to be no other problem.
Do I need to lie down for half an hour after taking these?
Also, do they have to be taken exactly 12 hours apart?
AMOS:The question about progesterone supplementation is best answered by your doctor.
He knows your medical history best and can decide on the best treatment.
A short LP is usually not treated by progesterone, but Clomid, which improves the quality of ovulation and the corpus luteum.
MEMBER:She wrote me a prescription for the progesterone.
I just want to know if I need to lie down after taking it vaginally.
AMOS:Most women lie down afterwards to ensure that they dissolve without falling out.
MEMBER QUESTION:My RE said that I could take Clomid if I want to.
I usually ovulate on my own, but I don't have a lot of mucus.
If I take Clomid, will it help my mucus as well?
If not what can I do to increase my mucus?
Maybe take alfalfa tablets or primrose oil?
AMOS:Clomid is an antiestrogen and thus will in effect decrease the amount of cervical fluid, and if that happens it likely decreases chances getting pregnant.
There are no studies showing alfalfa or primrose help when you take Clomid.
In fact, I suggest you never, ever take additional herbs and other medication without letting your doctor know.
MEMBER QUESTION:I went off BCP December 2003.
My periods are very irregular and only consist of spotting about every other week.
My doctor tells me that I will have to go on Clomid to get pregnant (he did blood work and everything came back within normal limits).
Since I don't have a real period will I have to go on something to have a "real" period before starting Clomid?
AMOS:Before starting a new dose of Clomid most doctors will give medication to make you bleed, yes.
MEMBER QUESTION:I am in round one of 100 milligrams of Clomid.
Today is day 29 and no period, with negative pregnancy test.
What is a "normal" Clomid cycle length and when should I worry that I didn't ovulate?
AMOS:Ovulation normally comes five to nine days after the last pill of Clomid.
If you did not ovulate then AF isn't likely to come, and if your pregnancy test is negative then most doctors will induce bleeding then start a higher dose of Clomid in the next cycle.
MEMBER QUESTION:Would using a product such as Preseed help while taking Clomid?
Preseed is likely to not affect sperms, but no studies have shown it improves fertility.
MEMBER QUESTION:I have been trying for more than a year to get pregnant, and I have been on Clomid for six months, but it doesn't seem to help.
AMOS:I am always concerned about certain statements made, like Clomid "didn't help.
As Clomid is given to induce ovulation can I assume that you did not ovulate on 200-250 milligrams of Clomid?
MEMBER:It hasn't seemed to help for six months.
She has only given me 50 milligrams, nothing higher.
MEMBER:The first time I went and had an ultrasound they saw five on each ovary, but nothing since then.
AMOS:So you did not ovulate, I assume.
AMOS:I suggest you see another doctor immediately.
Clomid is given to induce ovulation.
You start at 50 milligrams and monitor for ovulation with a temperature chart or progesterone.
If you do not ovulate the first month then Clomid is increased by 50 milligrams a day until you ovulate.
It's not good medical practice to keep you on the same Clomid dose if you don't ovulate, and to not adequately monitor to see if it induced ovulation.
Keeping you for six months on the same dose is wrong.
A sperm count should be done on all men before their wives take Clomid to ensure that the Clomid isn't taken when in fact the man has the problem.
MEMBER QUESTION:I am starting round two of 50 milligrams of Clomid.
I have been told to have intercourse on days nine through 16 of the cycle.
From one of your previous responses I should wait for days 15-18.
Ovulation happens five to nine days after the last pill of Clomid, and you should start making love two to three days before you are first expected to ovulate.
So if you take Clomid on CD 5-9 (do you?
CD 12 and continue daily until CD 18-19.
MEMBER QUESTION:Are there any potential risks of taking Clomid (such as side effects, etc.
I am not taking it now, but I do not think I am ovulating, and I researching my options.
AMOS:There are many potential risks.
First of all, it's NOT a fertility medication that improves your chances getting pregnant.
It's a drug for inducing ovulation.
But it can also decrease fertility by decreasing cervical mucus and preventing sperm from entering the cervix.
In addition, a sperm count should be done on all men before their wives take Clomid to ensure that the Clomid isn't taken when in fact the man has the problem.
MEMBER QUESTION:Are you saying if the husband has a low count Clomid is useless?
AMOS:I'm saying if his sperm count is too low that even Clomid will not improve your chances of getting pregnant.
MODERATOR:In other words, you can have the best, most well-oiled gun in the West, but without bullets you ain't going to shoot nothin'.
AMOS:You may shoot but not hit ...

Day 1 starts with the first day of your period.
Clomid, or clomiphene citrate, is a fertility drug used to stimulate the ovaries.
It is usually given on the third to seventh day of the cycle, but the first pill can start as early as the second day or as late as the fifth day in the cycle.
If a woman is undergoing consecutive treatment cycles or has not had an ultrasound to confirm the absence of persistent cysts, she should have an ultrasound prior to using these medications.
Clomid keeps the cells in the hypothalamus from detecting the amount of estrogen present in the blood.
When the hypothalamus senses a lack of estrogen, it responds by releasing messages to the pituitary gland to release high amounts follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
The function of FSH is to initiate the growth of ovarian follicles.
When Chlomid is administered, the LH will spontaneously rise.
However, to ensure that ovulation actually occurs, human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is sometimes given.
HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy that is similar to LH.
A woman is given hCG on day 12 of an optimally stimulated clomiphene cycle to ensure that ovulation occurs even if the pituitary gland does not initiate its own LH surge.
Clomiphene is taken orally for five days during the early menstrual cycle.
It can be started as early as the second day or as late as the fifth day of the menstrual cycle.
What Are The Side Effects of Clomiphene?
The most common side effects are hot flashes, minor visual disturbances, headaches, irritability and anxiety.
In some cases, your period may be lighter or heavier than usual, and your cycles may be longer or shorter than usual.
The side effects are temporary and subside once clomiphene is stopped.
Ovarian cysts may develop and remain for four to six weeks once a woman stops taking clomiphene, but these cysts are usually harmless.
Very rarely, a large number of cysts will develop because of high estrogen levels.
This is referred to as the Hyperstimulation Syndrome and rarely occurs with clomiphene use.
How Common Are Multiple Births with Clomiphene?
There is a higher multiple birth rate in women who conceive following clomiphene citrate therapy (5 to 10 percent) than in the rest of the population.
In most cases, the multiple pregnancies are twins.
The risk of having twins in women who do not take any fertility drugs is about 1.
Does Clomiphene Cause Birth Defects?
Clomiphene has never been incriminated in causing the development of birth defects in humans.
Side effects of clomid are usually mild and include the possibility of mood changes, hot flashes, headaches, vaginal dryness or thinning of the endometrial lining.
If you experience visual disturbances such as spots, contact your physician and discontinue the medication.

Medical Director When is clomid useful?
Some women fail to become pregnant after tubal reversal surgery because they do not ovulate regularly.
FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) at the right time during the cycle.
For these women, the medication most doctors prescribe is clomiphene citrate (Clomid).
Clomid causes the pituitary to secrete higher levels of FSH and LH.
These hormones stimulate the ovary to produce and release a mature egg.
Structurally similar to estrogen, clomiphene binds to estrogen receptor sites in the brain.
When these receptor sites are filled with Clomid, they can't bind with estrogen circulating in the blood.
In essence, the brain is tricked into thinking that the amount of estrogen in the blood is too low.
In response, the pituitary produces more FSH.
The increased level of FSH in turn stimulates maturation of an egg within an ovarian follicle.
Who is a good candidate for treatment with Clomid?
If a woman is menstruating, even if irregularly, clomiphene is usually effective.
Women with irregular menstrual cycles ovulate infrequently.
They are usually excellent candidates for clomiphene treatment since more frequent ovulation presents more opportunities to become pregnant.
Clomiphene is also often effective in treating luteal phase defect (LPD).
In this case, a woman may ovulate but then have inadequate production of the hormone progesterone in the post-ovulatory or luteal phase of the cycle.
Following ovulation, the ovary produces progesterone - the hormone needed to prepare the uterine lining for implantation of a fertilized egg.
A fall in blood progesterone levels during this critical time can prevent implantation or cause a woman to menstruate too early, thus ending a pregnancy within a few days after implantation has occurred.
Clomiphene stimulates the ovary to produce higher progesterone levels in the luteal phase of the cycle.
How should Clomid treatment be monitored?
Using an LH-urine detector kit (also called ovulation detector kit or OPK), or keeping a basal body temperature (BBT) chart, can help a woman determine if she is ovulating and whether the luteal phase of her cycle is normal.
The luteal phase of the cycle, the length of time from ovulation until she menstruates, has a normal range of 12 to 16 days.
Clomiphene is taken by mouth for 5 days, usually cycle days 3-7.
The starting dose is one tablet (50 mg) daily for five days.
If ovulation doesn't occur with this dosage, then the dosage may be doubled in the next treatment cycle.
What effects can Clomid have on cervical mucus?
Because clomiphene binds to estrogen receptors - including the estrogen receptors in the cervix - it can interfere with the ability of the cervical mucus glands to produce fertile mucus.
If this occurs, adding a small amount of estrogen beginning on cycle day ten and continuing until the LH surge usually improves the amount and quality of cervical mucus.

What side effects may occur with Clomid?
Some women taking clomiphene experience hot flashes and premenstrual-type symptoms such as migraine headaches and breast discomfort.
Visual symptoms (spots, flashes, or blurred vision) are infrequent.
If these occur treatment with Clomid should be discontinued immediately.
What are the contraindications to Clomid?
Liver disease is an absolute contraindication to taking Clomid, since this drug is metabolized by the liver.
Enlarged ovaries, ovarian cysts, or polycystic ovaries are relative contraindications since clomiphene may result in ovarian hyperstimulation.
If pregnancy does not occur within 3 or 4 months while taking clomiphene, this medication should be discontinued and a fertility specialist should be consulted.

Clomid was one of the first effective infertility medications discovered.
Clomid has been used for years to induce ovulation in many women who have irregular or absent periods.
Clomid works at an area of the brain called the hypothalamus.
The hypothalamus is located directly under the pituitary gland and is responsible for regulating the production of follicle stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing hormones (LH).
The hypothalamus produces gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which signals the pituitary to increase its production of FSH and LH.
FSH stimulates the development of eggs within the ovarian follicles on the ovaries.
The hypothalamus monitors the levels of various hormones, including estrogen, through a complex biofeedback mechanism.
When estrogen levels are below a certain threshold the hypothalamus releases more GnRH thus signaling the pituitary to increase FSH production.
Clomid also raises the levels of LH.
Once ovulation occurs on Clomid there is no advantage to increasing the dosage since the ovaries are not directly stimulated.
There are numerous studies indicating that pregnancy is most likely to occur during the first three ovulatory cycles on Clomid.
Roughly 80% of women will ovulate, half of which get pregnant.
There is no advantage to continuing therapy beyond six months and other treatment options should be explored.
Follicle stimulating hormone with intrauterine insemination is often the next step.
Clomid can produce side effects including hot flashes, vaginal dryness, visual disturbances, nausea, dizziness, and ovarian enlargement but is generally very well tolerated.
Many women also experience diminished cervical mucous while on Clomid.
See the manufactures Web site for a complete discussion.
Health On-Call at 336-716-2255 or 1-800-446-2255.
Since it was first clinically introduced in 1967, Clomid (clomiphene) has become the most used and least expensive choice of medications for the treatment of infertility in women.
Used primarily to induce ovulation, this hormonal drug is also prescribed to correct irregular ovulation, increase egg production and to correct luteal phase deficiency.
Women with PCOS and other ovulatory dysfunctions are successfully treated with this drug.
It is important that a postcoital test (PCT) be done after placing a woman on clomiphene (Clomid).
This is necessary to check the woman's cervical mucus while she is on clomiphene, since 25 percent or more of women who take this drug develop cervical mucus problems.
It is also important for a woman to monitor her own cervical mucus production while she is trying to conceive and while she is on Clomid.
Another negative effect of Clomid is endometrial thinning.
Clomid is an anti-estrogen, which means that it can block the stimulation of estrogen on the endometrium and consequently cause the lining to become thin.
Even after cessation of usage, one of the isomers in Clomid remains in the body for up to six weeks, taking its toll on estrogen stimulation.
Should a woman remain on Clomid for more than three months, she will undoubtedly experience uterine lining thinning.
Women who are over the age of 40 rarely, if ever, conceive a pregnancy while on Clomid.
The reason for this is that the uterine lining thins naturally as she ages and Clomid exacerbates this thinning.
Clomid can, in fact, reverse its fertility aspect and act as a contraceptive after three months of continual use, regardless of the age or ovarian response of the woman.
Clomid must be discontinued for a period of at least six weeks in order to eliminate all of the anti-estrogen isomer from the body.
Women who are prescribed Clomid for infertility issues should be monitored in order to ensure maximum efficacy of the drug and to protect her against possible side effects such as those described here.
Clomid is a popular fertility drug that helps induce ovulation.
But what happens when Clomid fails?
Clomid does its thing by fooling your estrogen receptors into thinking your estrogen levels are low.
Your hypothalamus struggles to produce more gonadotropin releasing hormones (GnRH), stimulating your pituitary gland to increase your follicle stimulating hormones (FSH).
The idea is to get your body to make follicles which can mature into eggs and this about sums up the process of ovulation, the first step in getting pregnant.
So Clomid only works for women with ovulatory issues.
If Clomid is going to work, 75% of the time it does its thing within the first three or four cycles.
Clomid will ovulate, and 40% of those who ovulate will go on to conceive.
Most doctors won't start you on the drug unless your partner first has a semen analysis performed.
So, you've taken Clomid, three cycles have come and gone.
The first step is to add something to the routine.
Your doctor may decide to add intrauterine insemination (IUI) to the Clomid routine and let you try for another three cycles.
Or the doctor may decide to try direct stimulation of the ovaries with an injectable, for instance Bravelle, Ovidrelle, or Follistim, which come, of course, with their own list of undesirable side effects.
The main thing with all of these drugs is to make sure your doctor is monitoring your status.
All of these drugs, including Clomid, can cause birth defects, if you continue to take them once you conceive.
Though the protocol varies, if all of the above efforts fail to put a baby in your arms, your doctor may recommend in vitro fertilization as a next step.
Of course, every couple is different and your doctor is going to base your treatment protocol on the specifics of your case.
Newer to the scene are two breast cancer drugs which are gaining in popularity as alternatives to Clomid: Tamoxifen and Femara.
These have a good reputation for being helpful for women with a larger percentage of body fat.
These drugs are similar to the injectable medications in that they give direct stimulation to the ovaries.
Clomid is usually started on cycle day 3, 4, or 5 and continued for five days.
It's usual starting dose is 50 mg and if ovulation does not occur it can be increased up to 150 mg per day.
Clomid was originally studied as a birth control pill when researchers discovered its ovulation inducing characteristics.
See the discussion on the fertility drug overview page).
Clomid works by competing, or binding, with estrogen receptors at the hypothalamus.
GnRH, which causes the pituitary to increase FSH production.
Increased FSH production leads to enhanced follicular recruitment and development.
Clomid's most significant problem is overuse.
Numerous studies demonstrate that Clomid is most likely to be effective in the first 3-6 ovulatory cycles and pregnancies decline dramatically after 3 cycles.
If Clomid has not worked within this time frame, infertility specialists will usually move to other therapies, such as stimulated (addition of FSH) IUI or IVF.
Yet, our fertility specialists see patients who have been on Clomid for as long as a year.
Continued use increases the chances of side effects and is expensive.
We also see women taking Clomid whose husbands have not had a semen analysis to rule out male infertility.
A semen analysis is always strongly recommended before using ovulation enhancing agents such as Clomid.
A woman should also obtain a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) prior to Clomid use if she has a history of pelvic infection or pelvic surgery.
If there is no history of pelvic problems, an HSG should be completed if conception has not occurred after 2-3 ovulatory cycles on Clomid.
Some infertility specialists are beginning ovulation induction treatment with drugs like Femara (letrozole) These drugs do not seem to have some of the adverse side-effects such as decreased cervical mucus, thinning of the endometrial lining or emotional irritability that are common with the use of Clomid .
The incidence of twins is 2-3% with the use of Femara compared to 10% with the use of Clomid.
The addition of FSH injections to either of these medications can increase the risk of multiples.
These fertility drugs (aromatase inhibitors) have not been used for fertility therapy for a long time, and there may be more risks, which are not currently known.
A fertility doctor should administer fertility drugs including letrozole, FSH, Clomid, and others.
Dependent upon the specific cause(s) of infertility, IUI with FSH ovulation induction may be the next step after Clomid failure.
FSH causes the development of multiple follicles and increases the chances for success in the IUI cycle.
There are epidemiological studies that suggest if Clomid is used longer then 12 months there may be an increase in the incidence of ovarian tumors.
Many fertility specialists monitor Clomid cycles with ultrasound, which allows visualization of follicular development and documentation of ovulation.
Our fertility doctors also physically examine patients at regular intervals to check for side effects such as ovarian enlargement.
Methods of monitoring the time of ovulation include ultrasound, urinary ovulation predictor kits, blood tests for estradiol, progesterone and luteinizing hormone (LH).
Basal body temperature charts and serum progesterone levels can be used to to confirm ovulation.
Sometimes an injection of hCG will be given to stimulate ovulation if follicles seen on ultrasound are of the appropriate size during monitoring.

Since it is a synthetic estrogen it belongs, however, to the group of sex hormones.
In school medicine Clomid is normally used to trigger ovulation.
Clomid also has a strong influence on the hypothalamohypophysial testicular axis.
It stimulates the hypophysis to release more gonadotropin so that a faster and higher release of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) occurs.
This results in an elevated endogenous (body's own) testosterone level.
In most cases Clomid can normalize the testosterone level and the spermatogenesis (sperm development) within 10- 14 days.
For this reason Clomid is primarily taken after steroids are discontinued.
At this time it is extremely important to bring the testosterone production to a normal level as quickly as possible so that the loss of strength and muscle mass is minimized.
Even better results can be achieved if Clomid is combined with HCG or when Clomid is used after the intake of HCG.
Paradoxically, although Clomid is a synthetic estrogen it also works as an anti-estrogen.
The reason is that Clomid has only a very low estrogenic effect and thus the stronger estrogens which, for example, form during the aromatization of steroids, are blocked at the receptors.
These would include those that develop during the aromatizing of steroids.
This does not prevent the steroids from aromatizing but the increased estrogen is mostly deactivated since it cannot at-tach to the receptors.
The increased water retention and the possible signs of feminization can thus be reduced or even completely avoided.
Since the antiestrogenic effect of Clomid is lower than those found in Proviron, Nolvadex, and Teslac it is mainly taken as a testosterone stimulant.
Clomid is a medication that promotes the production of the body's own stimulating hormone, gonadotropin, which in turn increases the testosterone level.
It is, for example, administered to women as a so-called anti-estrogen to trigger ovulation ("ovulation stimulator").
Side effects of Clomid are very rare if reasonable dosages are taken.
Possible side effects are climacteric hot flashes and occasional visual disturbances, which can manifest themselves in blurred vision, giving flickering or flashing.
Should visual disturbances occur, the manufacturer recommends discontinuing Clomid treatment.
In women enlargement of the ovaries and abdominal pain can occur since Clomid stimulates the ovaries.
When taking Clomid multiple pregnancies are possible as well.
The tablets are usually taken with fluids after meals.
If several tablets are taken it is recommended that they be administered in equal doses distributed throughout the day.
The duration of intake has been rumored to not be taken for longer than 10-14 days.
Clinical studies with male patients have shown clomid to be used for up to a year or longer.
After the fifth day the dosage is often reduced to only one 50 mg tablet per day.
It is normally not necessary to take the compound for more than ten days in order to increase the endogenous testosterone production.

Clomid is the brand name of the medication clomiphene citrate and may also be sold under the name Serophene.
It is medication that is taken orally and usually used to treat female fertility problems that arise from ovulation difficulties.
When the ovaries are not regularly ovulating, Clomid can work to stimulate egg production and when used appropriately, it has impressive rates of success in achieving pregnancy.
When the reason a woman is not achieving pregnancy is due to lack of ovulation, Clomid has about an 80% success rate of achieving ovulation.
Approximately 40% of women who use the medication will get pregnant in a six-month period.
When the medication has not been successful over this period of time, other fertility drugs or treatments may be tried to help facilitate pregnancy.
The medication also may complicate chances of getting pregnant.
One side effect is to reduce vaginal mucus, which actually helps to stimulate pregnancy.
This may create a slightly hostile environment for sperm.
It can make it more difficult for sperm to travel to released eggs.
It has other noted side effects that include blurred vision, fairly significant mood swings, tenderness of the breasts, and some women report hot flashes.
You may have to observe special care when driving while taking Clomid.
Additional side effects you should look for include unusual vaginal bleeding, and pain in the abdomen.
Typically, women take the medication for five total days per menstrual cycle.
They begin their dose the fifth day after their menstrual period, and take the medication through the ninth day.
Side effects usually recess a few days after monthly doses stop.
Taking Clomid does increase chances of having twins, but the risk is only slightly elevated.
This is because the drug can stimulate the release of more than one egg per ovulation cycle.
Higher order multiple births are very uncommon when this medication is used.
Other fertility medications may be injected rather than taken orally.
They usually have higher side effect rates, and the high success rate of Clomid often makes it a good first option.
It is usually not used when women are attempting pregnancy with in vitro fertilization (IVF), but it may be a preferred method when women are undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI), though this is not always the case.

What can we help you find today?
Clomid, Serophene, or clomiphene citrate (generic name) is a medication that is commonly used for the treatment of infertility.
It is often used to attempt to induce ovulation in women that do not develop and release an egg (ovulate) on their own.
Women who do not ovulate without medications are said to be anovulatory and have a condition called anovulation.
Many of these women have polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS.
Clomid is also frequently used to stimulate extra follicles develop in the ovaries of women that already ovulate without medications.
It does this by binding to estrogen receptors in the brain and blocking the ability of estrogen to bind to those receptors.
The brain then thinks that estrogen levels are very low so it releases GnRH hormone which goes to the pituitary gland and stimulates release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
The job of FSH is to stimulate development of a mature follicle (egg containing structure) in the ovary.
Women that do not ovulate regularly, such as those with PCOS, will often ovulate after taking Clomid.
However, this is quite variable and many anovulatory women will not respond to Clomid and ovulate at all.
Unfortunately, only about half of those women that do ovulate with Clomid will get pregnant with it.
How long does it take to ovulate using Clomid?
On the average ovulation occurs about 7-10 days after completing a course of Clomid pills.
This varies quite a bit, depending on whether the woman ovulates regularly on her own or not.
Some women will ovulate before seven days after the last Clomid tablet and some that have very irregular cycles will ovulate much later - as late as two or three weeks after the last clomiphene tablet.
What is the process or protocol for taking Clomid?
The protocol for taking Clomid is somewhat different according to whether the woman ovulates on her own or not.
It is best to have intercourse on the day of ovulation possible.
The trick is to figure out what day that is.
Some women will prefer to use ovulation predictor kits with Clomid cycles to time their sex.
These kits are available at drugstores and supermarkets and are are urine tests that the woman does at home.
These ovulation predictor kits, also referred to as OPKs, are designed to detect the presence of the woman's LH surge.
The LH surge in the bloodstream begins approximately 36 hours prior to ovulation.
The ovulation prediction kit test is usually done once daily and when it turns positive then sex either the same day or the next morning are the best for fertility.
Sex once on the day of ovulation should be good enough, however if the ovulation day is not certain then intercourse every other day (or every day) around the time of ovulation is another good option.
If sperm is normal it should live in the reproductive tract of the female for 3 to 5 days.
However, the egg has a life span of only 12 to 24 hours.
Therefore, intercourse a day or two before ovulation should be fine, but if the first recent sex is more than 24 hours after ovulation then the egg has already degenerated.
Ovulation generally occurs about 14 days prior to the onset of the next menstrual period.
For example, if the woman has a 32 day cycle length on Clomid, then she is probably ovulating on about day 18.
A good plan for having intercourse would be to have sex on about days 16, 18 and 20.
This approach allows clarification of the level of response and is a good way to determine the proper timing for sex or intrauterine insemination.
Usually when Clomid cycles are monitored an HCG trigger injection will be given to the female when the growing follicle(s) is at a mature size.
The HCG trigger injection acts in the body just like an LH surge would and ovulation would be expected to occur approximately 36 to 40 hours after the injection.
When follicle scans are used with Clomid along with an HCG injection, the ideal follicle size for getting mature eggs is about 20 to 30 mm diameter at the time of the hCG injection.
Ultrasound and blood testing during Clomid cycles will also show us when no mature follicles are developing in response to the medication.
In those cases we know that we will need to try a higher dose of Clomid, or move on to another form of therapy.
Clomid and injectable gonadotropinsSometimes clomiphene is used in conjunction with injectable gonadotropins, particularly when the female is not responding and ovulating well with Clomid alone.
Injectable gonadotropins contain FSH hormone.
Therefore we can boost the FSH level in the blood by adding the injectable FSH product.
There are several protocols for adding the injectables in a Clomid cycle.
It is important to monitor follicle development with ultrasound scans and blood hormone levels when injectable FSH products are used.
This is because using Follistim, Gonal-F, Menopur, or Bravelle (injectable FSH brand names) with Clomid can greatly increase the follicle number.
Infertility specialist clinics will often add intrauterine insemination to clomiphene cycles in order to increase the chance for pregnancy.
Insemination is particularly beneficial for women that already ovulate on their own and have unexplained infertility or a male factor situation.

Clomid, clomiphene citrate or Serophene is a medication that is commonly used for the treatment of infertility.
It is often given to try to induce ovulation in women that do not develop and release an egg (ovulate) on their own.
Women who do not ovulate on their own (without drugs) are said to have a condition called anovulation.
The most common cause of anovulation is polycystic ovarian syndrome, PCOS.
The chance for pregnancy with fertility treatments for PCOS is very good.
The great majority of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome will be able to have a baby with treatment.
For women under age 35, the question is more about which PCOS treatment will work - and not so much about whether any treatment will work.
Women with PCOS will often ovulate after taking Clomid.
However, this is variable and some will not respond to Clomid at all.
About three fourths of women that are not ovulating will ovulate on Clomid at some dosing level.
Women under 35 with PCOS should have about a 10 to 15% chance for pregnancy per month with Clomid treatment (for about 3-4 months) - if they ovulate with Clomid (if sperm and fallopian tubes are normal).
Only about 50% of women that ovulate with Clomid get pregnant with it.
For women with PCOS under age 35 in our in vitro fertilization program the success rate is about 70% for pregnancy with one IVF cycle, and about 60% for live birth (miscarriages account for the different rates).
What is the process for taking Clomid?
If a woman ovulates on 50mg then increasing to 100mg is probably of no benefit - and may result in increased side effects.
Many women will ovulate on 50 or 100mg, and some will require 150 mg in order to get an ovulatory response.
Some pregnancies will occur on clomiphene doses above 100mg.
However, increasing the Clomid dose to 200mg results in very few additional pregnancies.
For women that do not ovulate on their own, the average day that ovulation occurs is about 8 to 10 days after completing a 5 day course of Clomid.
That means that a woman taking Clomid on days 5-9 will often ovulate on about day 16-20 of the cycle.
However, there is significant variation in how long it takes ovulate using Clomid.
Some will ovulate much later - as late as two or three weeks after the last clomiphene tablet.
How long should I try Clomid before moving on to other treatment options?
There is no set number of cycles of Clomid that should be done before moving on to other fertility treatments.
Several variables are involved in the decision about moving on to more aggressive therapy.
Different tissues use different cofactors.
Thus, use in women is limited to 10-14 days.
Clomid and Twins: What are your chances of having twins if you take Clomid?
Almost everyone has heard of Clomid.
In fact, it has such a great reputation for boosting fertility that many women assume that taking Clomid will greatly increase your chances of having twins.
While it certainly can increase your odds of having twins, the odds of having twins even when taking Clomid are still somewhat small.
Why does Clomid increase your chances of having twins?
To understand why Clomid increases your chances of having twins, it is helpful to know how Clomid works.
Clomid works by blocking estrogen receptors in your brain.
Estrogen is one hormone involved in the ovulation process.
During the first part of your menstrual cycle, your estrogen levels are low.
Ordinarily, eggs begin to mature during this time and when this happens they produce estrogen.
Estrogen levels increase as the eggs mature and eventually your estrogen levels reach a point that signals your body to produce another hormone known as LH.
A surge in LH is what ultimately triggers ovulation.
Clomid is similar to estrogen in its make-up.
The receptor cells in your brain think that Clomid is estrogen which allows the Clomid to attach to the receptor cells.
When Clomid attaches to the receptor cells, it keeps your own estrogen from attaching to the cells.
This causes your body to think that you are not making enough estrogen.
When estrogen levels are low, your body responds by making other hormones that help nurture and mature the follicles that are growing in your ovaries.
Because the follicles are what produce estrogen and your body wants your estrogen levels to increase.
Your body thinks your follicles are not producing enough estrogen so it starts producing more of the hormones that help the follicles mature so that they will start producing more estrogen.
The reason that Clomid increases your chances of having twins is fairly easy to understand.
Your body is producing extra hormones to help your follicles grow and mature, thus increasing your estrogen levels.
When this happens, a woman may have so much extra stimulation and nurturing that she produces more than one mature egg.
If more than one egg is released during ovulation and both eggs are fertilized, twins will result.
In most cases, Clomid twins are fraternal because they are the result of two different eggs.
What are the chances of having twins while taking Clomid?
You have about a 1-3 percent chance of conceiving twins naturally.
Clomid does increase your chances of having twins, but not as much as you might think.
You have about an 8 percent chance of conceiving twins while taking Clomid.

What is IUI?
Faint Line (Pregnant or Not Pregnant?
When getting pregnant seems like a distant dream, Clomid, also known as clomiphine, may be the key to making those dreams a reality.
Clomiphine citrate, which is marketed as Clomid and Serophine, is a medication designed to action as an anti-estrogen agent.
In effect, it creates conditions that stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs and follicles during the days immediately preceding ovulation.
Best of all, Clomid is taken orally, meaning no injections.
You should know that Clomid will not solve every fertility problem.
It is designed to help women who have ovulation problems.
It will not help if the male has a low sperm count, or the woman has other reproduction problems, such as blocked fallopian tubes or a condition called Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOS).
For this reason, it is advisable for your doctor to a thorough preliminary fertility examination to eliminate other possible reasons why you have not been able to get pregnant.
You will want to remain under medical care while taking clomiphene, to ensure the medication is doing its job, and to ensure you are not suffering from additional reproductive medical problems.
Multiple gestation pregnancies.
Clomid is one of the more affordable fertility medications, and it is also available as a generic drug.
Normally, Clomid is taken five days per menstrual cycle.
Of course, if the doctor prescribes a larger dosage, you cost would rise exponentially.
Is there anything I can do to ensure I get pregnant while taking clomidiphine?
Since clomidiphine is taken to help regulate ovulation, the best thing you can do is to carefully track your Ovulation cycle by charting your basal body temperature or using a ovulation kit.
More than likely, the doctor will start you out on a very low dose of Clomid.
If further testing convinces him you are not ovulating regularly, he will probably increase the dosage of Clomid before recommending more drastic fertility methods.
If you are ovulating but experience no increase in luteinizing hormones (LH), then he may recommend an injection of human menopausal gonadotropin (HCG).
HCG acts like LH and can stimulate egg maturation.
Women will typically ovulate in about 36 hours from the time of the LH surge or HCG injection.
Other options may include in vitro fertilization.
When it seems like Mother Nature has short changed you in the fertility department, Clomid may be able to improve your chance of conceiving a child.
If you take Clomid and Provera at night, the side effects are much less noticeable.
This was my second round of clomid 50mg and I'm pretty sure it worked!
During my first treatment the side effects were terrible.
The fullness, cramping, bloating, and mood swings were severe.
The second time was much easier, maybe because I knew what to expect or my body was used to it.
In conjuntion with the clomid I used an ovulation kit and it worked!
This is coming from someone who has not had a period in 3 years!
So I would definatly recommend clomid.
My Doctor has prescribed me Provera for the 1st 10 days of the month and then Clomid on days 5-9 of my period.
This is my 1st month taking it.
I'm praying that it will be my last.
The hormones in Provera drove me crazy and the period that I had afterwards was the worst I have ever had in my life!!
My biggest dream in my life is to become a mother.
I am, however, willing to adopt if I am unable to conceive.

Q: What is Clomid and what should I expect if my doctor recommends it?
Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is a medication used to help regulate ovulation in women who have had difficulty conceiving naturally.
It helps to stimulate the production of the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) that help women ovulate each month.
Depending on what your doctor decides, other medications may be used in conjunction with Clomid.
Clomid is taken orally in pill form.
The dosage will be determined by your doctor and may sometimes be adjusted depending on your response to the medication.
You will start taking Clomid three to seven days after the first day of your cycle, using the first day of your period as day one.
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) practice bulletin, most women using Clomid will become pregnant within three to six cycles.
Tell your doctor if you are taking any other medications.
Your doctor should review them with you to prevent medication interaction.
Stay in touch with your doctor and report how you are feeling.
If any of the side effects seems to be worsening, stop taking the medication right away.

In men it can work as both an anti-estrogen, and a gonadotropic stimulant.
Male steroid users find that it can work quite well to prevent gynecomastia while taking steroids that aromatise.
It also is used to bring the body's natural testosterone levels back up to normal after a steroid cycle.
The clomid acts directly on the pituitary gland to stimulate more gonadotropins.
Women have used this drug to reduce the amount of estrogen in their systems, usually to harden up before a show.
But in some cases women suffer estrogen deficiencies that can cause a number of side effects.
No adverse reactions have been seen in males who used this drug.
It can be quite effective, but is not favoured over HCG or Nolvadex in these areas.
A dosage of 50 milligram per day for short cycles is most often seen.
Clomid typically come in 50 mg tablets in boxes of between 10 - 25 per box in blister packs.
Clomid is a synthetic estrogen used to induce ovulation in women.
Bodybuilders typically use Clomid as an anti-estrogen and to stimulate testosterone production when coming off a steroid cycle.
Clomid causes an elevation of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone.
As a result, natural testosterone production is also increased.
After a steroid cycle, testosterone production is suppressed.
If testosterone levels are not brought to normal, a dramatic loss in size and strength may occur.
Clomid is an excellent drug for preventing this crash.
Clomid is also an estrogen that works very well as an anti-estrogen.
The reason that it works is that Clomid is a weak estrogen.
It will typically bind to the estrogen receptors not allowing the harsher estrogens that are a byproduct of a testosterone cycle from attaching to the receptors.
This signifigantly cuts down on the risks of bad side effects such as gyno.
Cycling bodybuilders will suffer from an elevated estrogen level at the conclusion of a cycle.
A high estrogen levels and low testosterone levels can be a disasterous combination.
With the intake of Clomid, the athlete gets the dual effect of blocking out some of the effects of estrogen, while also increasing endogenous testosterone production.
As far as side effects go, Clomid is a fairly safe drug.
At the worst, you will get bloating, stomach pains, blurred vision, headaches, nausea, and dizzyness.
The common dosage in male bodybuilders is 50- 100 mgs.
Most of the time you will be back to normal by 1 week of usage but it never hurts to take a little extra just to be on the safe side.
You need to take Clomid with meals as well.
This product is really expensive in US pharmacies so the black market price is high as well.
This product is usually taken along with HCG.
HCG is taken for a week or two first since its effects will start within a few hours of injection.
Then Clomid is taken for a few weeks since Clomid helps regenerate the entire testosterone producing cycle whereas HCG only has direct testosterone stimulating effects on the LH (luteinizing hormone) production to stimulate testosterone production.

Clomid was one of the first fertility medications introduced in the United States.
Interestingly, it was first studied as a means of birth control.
Clomid exerts it ovulatory effects indirectly by its actions at the hypothalamus.
The hypothalamus is located at the base of the brain and serves as the regulator for the reproductive hormone system known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
The hypothalamus manufactures several specific hormones known as gonadotropin releasing hormones or GnRH.
GnRH stimulates the pituitary production of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
FSH directly stimulates the recruitment of ovarian follicles, each of which contains one egg.
As healthy follicles develop, they produce increasing amounts of estrogen which is monitored by the hypothalamus.
As estrogen levels increase, the hypothalamus adjusts the production of FSH.
Once the follicles reach maturity, the hypothalamus produces GnRH which travels to the pituitary and stimulates a surge in the production of luteinizing hormone (LH).
LH initiates the final processes of follicular maturation and stimulates ovulation 34-36 hours later.
After successful ovulation, the remaining follicular structure, known as the corpus luteum, begins to produce progesterone.
Progesterone is needed for the proper thickening and vascularization of the lining of the uterus (endometrium).
The lining must develop to properly support an implanting embryo and later the fetus.
Clomid works by competing for estrogen binding sites at the hypothalamus.
When Clomid occupies these receptor sites, estrogen cannot attach to them and the hypothalamus measures lower estrogen levels leading to increased production of FSH.
Numerous studies demonstrate that pregnancy is most likely to occur during the first three ovulatory cycles.
Clomid can also produce side effects such as thickening of the cervical mucus which can impede the sperms progress.
Clomid has also been linked to an increased chance of multiple birth, ovarian enlargement and pain, and others side effects.
The chance of a Clomid pregnancy in these patients is extremely low and the treatment is expensive.
We also see patients who have taken Clomid in the absence of a male semen analysis.
No treatment in the female is effective without enough good quality sperm to initiate a pregnancy.
The semen analysis is a mandatory part of the initial infertility workup.
Clomid is usually prescribed as 50 mg per day on the cycle days indicated by the physician.
Letrozole bellows to a class of drugs known as aromatase inhibitors which decrease estrogen production by the ovaries.
The hypothalamus measures this decrease in estrogen levels and concomitantly signals the pituitary to increase FSH production.
Because of its estrogen lowering effect, letrozole has been used to treat endometriosis and induces ovulation.
Clomid also reduces estrogen levels by competing with estrogen binding sites at the hypothalamus.
Studies with patients who failed Clomid therapy indicate that letrozole may work in many of these cases.
It has also been used successfully in combination with FSH reducing the total amount of FSH required.
One additional clinical finding is that endometrial development seems to be enhanced by letrozole.

Serophene is used for treating female infertility and for certain conditions as determined by your doctor.
Clomid (Clomiphene) is a fertility agent used to stimulate ovulation in women who want to become pregnant.
It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Pharmacology: Clomid (previously clomiphene) is an orally administered, non steroidal, ovulatory stimulant that acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM).
Clomid can lead to multiple ovulation, and hence increasing the risk of twins.
In comparison to purified FSH, the rate of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is low.
There may be an increased risk of ovarian cancer, and weight gain.
Clomid is capable of interacting with estrogen-receptor-containing tissues, including the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary, endometrium, vagina, and cervix.
Clomid initiates a series of endocrine events culminating in a preovulatory gonadotropin surge and subsequent follicular rupture.
The first endocrine event in response to a course of clomifene therapy, is an increase in the release of pituitary gonadotropins.
This initiates steroidogenesis and folliculogenesis resulting in growth of the ovarian follicle and an increase in the circulating level of estradiol.
Drug interactions with clomiphene citrate tablets USP have not been documented.
CLOMID may cause fetal harm in animals.
Although no causative evidence of a deleterious effect of CLOMID therapy on the human fetus has been established, there have been reports of birth anomalies which, during clinical studies, occurred at an incidence within the range reported for the general population.
To avoid inadvertent CLOMID administration during early pregnancy, appropriate tests should be utilized during each treatment cycle to determine whether ovulation occurs.
The next course of CLOMID therapy should be delayed until these conditions have been excluded.
The following fetal abnormalities have been reported subsequent to pregnancies following ovulation induction therapy with CLOMID during clinical trials.
The overall incidence of reported birth anomalies from pregnancies associated with maternal CLOMID ingestion during clinical studies was within the range of that reported for the general population.
In addition, reports of birth anomalies have been received during postmarketing surveillance of CLOMID.
CLOMID therapy is contraindicated in patients with liver disease or a history of liver dysfunction.
CLOMID is contraindicated in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding of undetermined origin.
CLOMID is contraindicated in patients with ovarian cysts or enlargement not due to polycystic ovarian syndrome.
CLOMID is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled thyroid or adrenal dysfunction or in the presence of an organic intracranial lesion such as pituitary tumor .
Additional information about ClomidClomid Indication: Used mainly in female infertility due to anovulation (e.
In some countries, it is also registered for use in men.
Mechanism Of Action: Clomid acts by inhibiting the action of estrogen on the gonadotrope cells in the anterior pituitary gland.
Sensing" low estrogen levels, follicle-stimulating hormone release is increased, leading to a higher rate of ovulation and hence pregnancy.
Clomid has no apparent progestational, androgenic, or antrandrogenic effects and does not appear to interfere with pituitary-adrenal or pituitary-thyroid function.
Food Interactions: Take without regard to meals.
Absorption: Based on early studies with 14 C-labeled clomifene, the drug was shown to be readily absorbed orally in humans.
Toxic effects accompanying acute overdosage of clomifene have not been reported.
Signs and symptoms of overdosage as a result of the use of more than the recommended dose during clomifene therapy include nausea, vomiting, vasomotor flushes, visual blurring, spots or flashes, scotomata, ovarian enlargement with pelvic or abdominal pain.
In the past, it was commonly believed that all problems with conception had their source in the woman's body.
There's something wrong with the woman, period.
Today we know more and more about reproductive science and the concept that 'it is all the woman's fault' has given way to the understanding that both men and women are affected with infertility equally.
Men may experience low sperm count, poor sperm motility or may suffer from a wide range of illnesses which affect sperm production.
Some of the more common causes of infertility in women are diminished ovarian reserves, usually occurring in women over the age of 35, premature ovarian failure, damaged fallopian tubes (often a result of PID or endometriosis) and PCOS.
Should testing reveal that the difficulty in conceiving lies in the fact that the woman has ovulatory dysfunction while the balance of her reproductive cycle is normal, then often the first choice for treatment is the fertility drug, Clomid.
Often times, sadly, Clomid is prescribed without the proper testing being done to see if the difficulty lies with the man.
Used properly, Clomid is an effective treatment for stimulating follicle production and has had a good success rate.
It is very important that women who are using Clomid be monitored carefully to determine the effectiveness of the drug and to watch for any contraindications or negative effects.
Nearly one third of women, who are prescribed Clomid and are not monitored, experience their cervical mucus turning hostile to sperm and killing the sperm on contact.
Of course, pregnancy is negated in such a situation.
It has been recommended by a good number of physicians and reproduction professionals that no more than three cycles of treatment with Clomid lapse before there is a re-evaluation of the medication and its effect upon the woman.
If everything is progressing well, then another three cycles at a higher dosage-to the maximum level allowed by the manufacturer-may be prescribed.
Some doctors prescribe more than the recommended dosage which commonly leads to thinning of the uterine lining.
When this happens, even though the egg is released and fertilized, it has nowhere to embed and is lost.
If, after the first three cycles are completed, there is no conception then the doctor may suggest adding intrauterine insemination (IUI) to the routine for the next three cycles.
Another suggestion may be trying direct stimulation of the ovaries with an injectable such as Bravelle, Ovidrelle or Follistim.
All of these drugs come with their own set of side effects and it is important that the doctor is monitoring the woman very closely during the process.
All drugs, including Clomid, have the potential to cause birth defects after conception occurs.
Should this entire process prove to be futile and conception fails, then the next step may be in vitro fertilization.
Of course, every couple is different and the protocols of treatment should be tailored to their specific needs.
Enlarged ovaries, hot flashes, and abdominal or pelvic pain are some of the most common side effects seen with Clomid.
Side effects that are less common and occur in less than 1 percent of patients may include constipation, diarrhea, and fatigue.
Although most Clomid side effects are considered minor, certain side effects should be reported to your healthcare provider immediately, including any signs of an allergic reaction, changes in vision, or severe abdominal pain.
In fact, most people tolerate Clomid well.
When people do develop side effects, in most cases they are minor, meaning they require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.

Some cheap clomid ideas never change.
Theres also the added element of strength and size gains.
In a normal, healthy menstrual cycle, the lining of your uterus thickens as the month progresses.
The lining's growth is stimulated by increasing levels of oestrogen in your body as you approach ovulation.
The rise in oestrogen levels is triggered by the oestrogen-producing follicles developing in your ovaries.
Each of these follicles contains and nurtures an egg until this egg is mature and ready to be fertilised.
When ovulation begins, a mature egg is released from the ovary.
It travels down the fallopian tubes and into your uterus - just waiting to be fertilised by your partner's sperm.
Ideally, the egg will nestle into the now thick lining of your uterus (also known as the "endometrium") and securely implant itself there.
The lining has to be of a certain thickness for the egg to implant successfully.
If the egg is fertilised, it will hopefully continue to develop into a healthy baby.
If it is not fertilised, the uterus and the egg are shed whenever you have your period.
A woman who is trying to conceive may encounter problems when the lining of her uterus doesn't grow thick enough for the egg to attach itself securely.
If the lining is too thin, she may have trouble getting pregnant at all, or, if she does get pregnant, she may be at greater risk of miscarrying.
Most doctors agree that the uterus lining needs be around 8 mm thick to have a good chance of successful implantation.
Clomid, also known by its generic name, Clomiphene, is an ovulation-inducing fertility drug.
Namely, it helps women with irregular menstrual cycles, or perhaps no periods at all, to begin ovulating regularly and to be able to predict when they are most fertile - allowing them to have sex at the best time for getting pregnant.
Clomid is an anti-oestrogen drug.
It blocks oestrogen receptors in the brain and fools the body into thinking that it has low oestrogen levels.
This sets off a series of hormonal reactions within the body, which result in the follicles of the ovaries producing more oestrogen and releasing more mature eggs.
However, at the same time, the anti-oestrogen effects of Clomid can block the stimulating effects of oestrogen on the growth of the endometrium.
This can leave the lining of the uterus too thin and weak to secure the mature egg when it is released by the ovary.
Ironically, the very drug that helps a woman to become fertile again, may later hamper her ability to get pregnant.
If your doctor prescribes you Clomid, he will probably start you on the smallest possible dosage to avoid the risk of thinning the uterus lining, and build up from there as necessary.
If you are taking Clomid, your doctor should be monitoring your treatment and looking out for any side effects.
This is particularly important if you have been taking the drug for several months.
This monitoring includes ultrasound exams to find out how thick the lining of your uterus is as you approach ovulation.
If you do find that your endometrium is thin, the good news is this can often be treated by taking a simple oestrogen supplement.
Adding extra oestrogen will encourage the growth of the lining and the uterus itself, and improve blood flow to and from the uterus, all of which is important for a healthy pregnancy.
Oestrogen can also reverse any negative effects of Clomid on the quality of your cervical mucus, through which your partner's sperm must swim to reach your egg.
If oestrogen supplements don't work, your doctor may try you on Clomid in combination with other drugs such as Tamoxifen or even, believe it or not, Viagra, to counteract the thinning effects of the Clomid.
If this doesn't work, he will probably recommend that you stop taking Clomid and try a completely different ovulation-inducing drug or fertility treatment.
If you find that Clomid is thinning your endometrium, you shouldn't panic or give up hope of successful treatment.
There are plenty of treatment options out there.
Ask your health care provider for more information.

I have received a lot of heat lately about my preference for Nolvadex over Clomid, which I hold for all purposes of use...
I am extremely pleased to have Bill Llewellyn contributing an article for us this week.
For those who are unaware, he is the author of Anabolics 2000 and Anabolics 2002 and is one of the bodybuilding world's foremost experts on androgens and anabolics.
He is also the President of Molecular Nutrition, one of the most innovative companies in this business.
Along with Avant Labs and ErgoPharm, Molecular Nutrition is one of the few companies dedicated to putting forth only those products backed by legitimate research, rather than excessive hype and other such B.
Two products, in particular, that deserve to be more well-known are Viritase, a potent anti-estrogen, and Boldione, a boldenone precursor.
HDL (good) cholesterol-supporting drug, and as a testosterone-stimulating compound.
Most people use Nolvadex to combat gynecomastia over Clomid anyway, so that is an easy sell.
And for cholesterol, well, most bodybuilders unfortunately pay little attention to this important issue, so by way of disinterest, another easy opinion to discuss.
But when it comes to using Nolvadex for increasing endogenous testosterone release, bodybuilders just do not want to hear it.
I can only guess that this is based on a long rooted misunderstanding of the actions of the two drugs.
In this article I would therefore like to discuss the specifics for these two agents, and explain clearly the usefulness of Nolvadex for the specific purpose of increasing testosterone production.
I am not sure how Clomid and Nolvadex became so separated in the minds of bodybuilders.
Clomid and Nolvadex are both anti-estrogens belonging to the same group of triphenylethylene compounds.
They are structurally related and specifically classified as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) with mixed agonistic and antagonistic properties.
This means that in certain tissues they can block the effects of estrogen, by altering the binding capacity of the receptor, while in others they can act as actual estrogens, activating the receptor.
In men, both of these drugs act as anti-estrogens in their capacity to oppose the negative feedback of estrogens on the hypothalamus and stimulate the heightened release of GnRH (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone).
LH output by the pituitary will be increased as a result, which in turn can increase the level of testosterone by the testes.
Both drugs do this, but for some reason bodybuilders persist in thinking that Clomid is the only drug good at stimulating testosterone.
What you will find with a little investigation however is that not only is Nolvadex useful for the same purpose, it should actually be the preferred agent of the two.
Studies conducted in the late 1970's at the University of Ghent in Belgium make clear the advantages of using Nolvadex instead of Clomid for increasing testosterone levels (1).
Here, researchers looked the effects of Nolvadex and Clomid on the endocrine profiles of normal men, as well as those suffering from low sperm counts (oligospermia).
For our purposes, the results of these drugs on hormonally normal men are obviously the most relevant.
What was found, just in the early parts of the study, was quite enlightening.
Nolvadex, used for 10 days at a dosage of 20mg daily, increased serum testosterone levels to 142% of baseline, which was on par with the effect of 150mg of Clomid daily for the same duration (the testosterone increase was slightly, but not significantly, better for Clomid).
We must remember though that this is the effect of three 50mg tablets of Clomid.
With the price of both a 50mg Clomid and 20mg Nolvadex typically very similar, we are already seeing a cost vs.
But something more interesting is happening.
Researchers were also conducting GnRH stimulation tests before and after various points of treatment with Nolvadex and Clomid, and the two drugs had markedly different results.
These tests involved infusing patients with 100mcg of GnRH and measuring the output of pituitary LH in response.
The focus of this test is to see how sensitive the pituitary is to Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone.
The more sensitive the pituitary, the more LH will be released.
The tests showed that after ten days of treatment with Nolvadex, pituitary sensitivity to GnRH increased slightly compared to pre-treated values.
This is contrast to 10 days of treatment with 150mg Clomid, which was shown to consistently DECREASE pituitary sensitivity to GnRH (more LH was released before treatment).
As the study with Nolvadex progresses to 6 weeks, pituitary sensitivity to GnRH was significantly higher than pre-treated or 10-day levels.
At this point the same 20mg dosage was also raising testosterone and LH levels to an average of 183% and 172% of base values, respectively, which again is measurably higher than what was noted 10 days into therapy.
Within 10 days of treatment Clomid is already exerting an effect that is causing the pituitary to become slightly desensitized to GnRH, while prolonged use of Nolvadex serves only to increase pituitary sensitivity to this hormone.
That is not to say Clomid won't increase testosterone if taken for the same 6 week time period.
But we are, however, noticing an advantage in Nolvadex.
The above discrepancies are likely explained by differences in the estrogenic nature of the two compounds.
Clomid which is practically absent in Tamoxifen seems the most probable explanation".
Although these two are related anti-estrogens, they appear to act very differently at different sites of action.
Nolvadex seems to be strongly anti-estrogenic at both the hypothalamus and pituitary, which is in contrast to Clomid, which although a strong anti-estrogen at the hypothalamus, seems to exhibit weak estrogenic activity at the pituitary.
To find further support for this we can look at an in-vitro animal study published in the American Journal of Physiology in February 1981 (2).
This paper looks at the effects of Clomid and Nolvadex on the GnRH stimulated release of LH from cultured rat pituitary cells.
In this paper, it was noted that incubating cells with Clomid had a direct estrogenic effect on cultured pituitary cell sensitivity, exerting a weaker but still significant effect compared to estradiol.
Nolvadex on the other hand did not have any significant effect on LH response.
Furthermore it mildly blocked the effects of estrogen when both were incubated in the same culture.
To summarize the above research succinctly, Nolvadex is the more purely anti-estrogenic of the two drugs, at least where the HPTA (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular Axis) is concerned.
This fact enables Nolvadex to offer the male bodybuilder certain advantages over Clomid.
This is especially true at times when we are looking to restore a balanced HPTA, and would not want to desensitize the pituitary to GnRH.
This could perhaps slow recovery to some extent, as the pituitary would require higher amounts of hypothalamic GnRH in the presence of Clomid in order to get the same level of LH stimulation.
Nolvadex also seems preferred from long-term use, for those who find anti-estrogens effective enough at raising testosterone levels to warrant using as anabolics.
Here Nolvadex would seem to provide a better and more stable increase in testosterone levels, and likely will offer a similar or greater effect than Clomid for considerably less money.
The potential rise in SHBG levels with Clomid, supported by other research (3), is also cause for concern, as this might work to allow for comparably less free active testosterone compared to Nolvadex as well.
Ultimately both drugs are effective anti-estrogens for the prevention of gyno and elevation of endogenous testosterone, however the above research provides enough evidence for me to choose Nolvadex every time.
In next month's follow-up article I will be discussing the role anti-estrogens play in post-cycle testosterone recovery.
Most specifically, I will be detailing what a proper post-cycle ancillary drug program looks like, and explain why anti-estrogens alone are not effective during this window of time.

Clomid (clomiphene citrate) on Steroids Rx.
Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) is a synthetic non-steroidal drug that is very similar in structure to estrogen.
It is widely used as an ovulatory stimulant.
Because of its similarity to estrogen, it can bind to the estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus.
This property of clomiphene has been widely used to treat women with ovarian failure and induce ovulation.
However, long term use of this drug may not be safe because of the increase risk of ovarian cancer.
Pharmacology Clomid is recommended for the treatment of women who have ovulatory dysfunction.
Many women who fail to get pregnant have been found to have dysfunction in the ovulation cycle.
Women with ovulation problems include those with polycystic ovarian syndrome and some with unknown causes of amenorrhea.
Clomid is only prescribed after a thorough evaluation of the menstrual cycle is done to determine where the problem occurs.
To achieve ovulation with Clomid, timing is of great importance.
Once ovulation is established, Clomid is started.
In general Clomid is started on or about the 5th day of the cycle.
Clomid is generally administered for 3-6 cycles.
However, with proper dose selection and short term therapy it can help infertile women.
Clomiphene mimics estrogen in its actions.
It has the ability to interacts with estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and block these sites.
The brain than thinks there is a low amount of estrone in the body and causes a surge in the levels of Gonadotropins which hyperstimulates the ovary to make more estrogen.
This results in an increase in steroid synthesis in both the adrenal and ovaries.
The surge in estrogen is important for fertilization to take place.
An ultrasound is done on each female to rule out ovarian enlargement prior to therapy There should be no vaginal bleeding.
If vaginal bleeding is present, the female should be thoroughly examined to ensure there is no evidence of a cancer all patients should have normal liver function tests While Clomid has met with some success in females with ovulatory dysfunction, it has not been well studied in male infertility.
Clomid has occasionally been tried out in Europe and the USA to treat males with fertility disorders.
Clomid has been shown to promote the surge of LH, FSH with resulting increase in sperm count.
However, these are isolated case reports and the therapy was only for a few months.
No discernible side effects have been observed in these isolated case reports.
However, there is concern that long term therapy with clomiphene in males may be associated with the development of testicular tumors and mild gynecomastia.
Clomiphene is a large molecule, which is soluble in most organic solvents like alcohol.
The sodium salt citrate is also soluble in water.
Clomiphene comes as a 50 mg tablet.
Patients who receive Clomid must have been fully worked up for all gynecological and endocrine disorders prior to therapy.
Ovulation typically occurs 5-10 days after starting Clomid.
This coitus should be timed to coincide with the expected time of ovulation.
This dose can be increased in females who do not ovulate.
Body Building Clomid is also widely abused by both amateur and professional athletes.
This same group of individuals abuses a whole range of other chemicals like anabolic steroids, HCG, tamoxifen, thyroid hormone, etc.
Almost all anabolic steroids have both androgenic and anabolic properties.
In some cases, the anabolic steroids also have mild estrogen stimulating activity.
Further, some anabolic steroids are also converted in the fatty tissues by the enzyme aromatase to the female sex hormone, estrogen.
The estrogen is responsible as the cause of gynecomastia in body builders.
While body builders and athletes want to show of their bodies, they seldom want to brag about their boobs.
So Clomid is used to block the development of gynecomastia.
By blocking the estrogen receptors, it will limit the gynecomastia seen with anabolic steroids.
Further, since Clomid blocks the estrogen receptors in the brain, the hypothalamus sends a surge of releasing factors LH and FSH to promote more synthesis of the sex hormones.
The LH and FSH also act on the testes and this results in further synthesis of testosterone- which provides an extra boost for the athlete.
Some body builders only take Clomid for the anabolic effects, whereas others combine it with a cocktail of other steroids and growth hormone.
Clomid Dosing for Athletes Clomid is only taken once a day.
Experts in the field of body building suggest that it be used alone or in combination with low potency anabolic steroids.
Most body builders take anabolic steroids for a few months and then switch over to Clomid.
The Clomid provides the surge in testosterone and also prevents the development of breast enlargement.
The exact timing of when to start Clomid is not known but it is recommended that once the steroid drugs are stopped, Clomid should be started within 7-10 days.
A great many athletes and body builders do take Clomid, but the selection of dosage is very variable.
While the drug is not recommended for body building, the dose has been empirically worked out.
After the third week, Clomid should be stopped.
This cycling phase has been developed by past body builders.
Since no physicians recommend Clomid for body building purposes, it is hard to get proper medical advice on this drug.
In any case, if you have doubts one may want to get advice from fertility experts who have the best knowledge about this drug.
The exact duration of Clomid is not known.
There are no long-term data on the drug.
In general one should avoid taking Clomid for pronged periods.
At the recommended doses for the short duration, Clomid is generally safe.
The majority of adverse reactions that occur are transient and disappear once the treatment is stopped.
Because Clomid acts on the brain, there is one side effect which is of great concern.
By blocking the estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, the hypothalamus causes release of stimulating factors to urge the pituitary to release the gonadotrophins.
The pituitary gland is a small pea size gland which sits on top of the nerves going to the eye.
This results in compression of the nerves going to the eye.
There have been many reports of visual changes in individuals who have taken Clomid for a long time.
The vision changes vary from floaters, loss of partial vision, blurring, flashes, or clouding of the vision.
These changes generally occur after long term use of clomid but there are reports that some individuals have developed these effects after only 7-10 days of use.
Many of these vision changes occur spontaneously and thus, driving or operating machinery can be very hazardous.
In the majority of cases, these vision changes have been reversed when the Clomid is stopped.
The instant one develops vision changes, the drug should be discontinued and a visit to an ophthalmologist is highly recommended.
Mood changes The other major side effect of Clomid is mood changes.
There are many reports that women who have taken this drug for long periods develop a variety of behavior problems ranging from severe depression, anger, anxiety and aggression.
Other changes also reported include paranoia, restlessness and insomnia.
Despite the worrisome side effects in some individuals, studies from many clinical trials show that these side effects occur in less than 1% of women.
There are no hard numbers on how many body builders suffer from these adverse effects.
The cost of clomiphene is variable.
Clomiphene is readily available for anyone who wants to use it.
However, all sporting organizations have banned the use of this drug in professional sports.
The drug is easily identified in the urine for at least 5-12 days after use.
In fact, the testing for clomiphene is very sophisticated and some laboratories even measure the levels of testosterone and estrogen, their metabolites and determine the ratio.
When a certain ratio is seen, abuse with clomiphene is suspected.

Not all women will ovulate with this treatment and not all those that ovulate will conceive.
Usually 3 cycles constitutes a sufficient try with this therapy, but in some situations we will allow up to 6 cycles.
Side effects can occur with this medicine up to 10% of the time.
They are usually mild and never life-threatening.
The most common side effect is hot flashes which can last up to 10 days.
Moodiness, nausea, headaches, and breast tenderness can also occur.
The incidence of twins (7%) from the use of Oral Ovulation Medication is greater than in the general pregnant population (2%).
The chance for triplets or beyond is EXTREMELY rare.
Our office will tell you what dose of Clomid or Tamoxifen to take.
Take the dose every day for 5 straight days.
If your dose is more than one pill per day, take them together at the same time each day.
Call our office early in your cycle to set up an ultrasound in our office to visualize the ovarian follicle(s) on day 12 or 13 of your cycle.
The ultrasound allows us to confirm that an egg-containing follicle has matured to full size and we can determine which ovary will release the egg and how many eggs might be released.
Sometimes a second ultrasound visit is needed a few days later if the follicle is not yet full size.
Your preparation for this test means you have sexual relations between 2-12 hours prior to your appointment.
Sometimes this is useful to determine if an intrauterine insemination should be pursued.
If you are planning an insemination, you will need to trigger the release of the egg(s) with a shot of HCG medicine.
The egg(s) release 36-40 hours after the injection.
Depending on the size of your follicle, the shot may be given by our nurse at the time of your visit or, alternatively, you would be responsible for administering it at home (usually in the late evening).
Inseminations are performed in the morning 24 to 36 hours after the shot.
Your partner should plan to abstain from ejaculationfor at least 24 hours before collecting for the IUI specimen.
Regardless of whether an insemination is planned, we recommend that you have sexual intercourse with your partner every 2-3 days beginning by cycle day 10.
Approximately one week after ovulation, you will need to get a blood test drawn at one of our offices or at your local blood-drawing station (such as Quest or Labcorp) to check your progesterone level.
This helps us assess the quality of your ovulation and determines if you need to change your dose of medicine in a future cycle.
If you do not get a period by 16 days after your expected day of ovulation then you should call us to schedule a blood pregnancy test and progesterone level.
You may, in addition, do a home pregnancy test for a rapid result.
If you are not pregnant after 3 cycles we usually recommend that you make an appointment for another consultation in our office to discuss other treatment options available to you.
Both clomiphene citrate and letrozole are medications used to treat infertile women who have an ovulation problem.
These medications work by helping your pituitary gland (located at the base of the brain) improve the stimulation of developing follicles (eggs) in the ovaries.
Neither clomiphene citrate nor letrozole may help a woman become more fertile if she is already ovulating normally.
For that reason, these medications are most often prescribed to those patients who have been found to have an abnormality with their cycle.
Clomiphene is often referred to as the "fertility pill".
Letrozole is very similar to clomiphene in the way it works.
However, letrozole is quickly cleared from the body.
It only works for the cycle in which it is taken and is less likely to adversely affect the uterine lining and cervical mucous.
With clomiphene, one may experience effects 6-8 weeks after stopping the medication.
Both medications are prescribed for five days each cycle, usually beginning on day three and continuing through day seven.
The usual initial dose for clomiphene is 50 mg, one tablet daily.
The number of tablets can be increased to as many as four daily, if a lesser dosage does not result in ovulation.
Rarely are more than two tablets required.
Clomiphene should be repeated each cycle until pregnancy occurs, or your doctor discontinues it.
The usual dosage of letrozole is 2.
Of all women treated with clomiphene, or letrozole, 60% to 80% will ovulate normally.
However, only half of those patients who ovulate will become pregnant.
It is not known why only half of the women who apparently ovulate with clomiphene or letrozole therapy become pregnant.
It is suspected that factors other than inadequate ovulation may be contributing to the fertility problem.
Therefore, if you are not pregnant after three or four cycles, additional testing such as hysterosalpingogram or laparoscopy may be necessary.
If you have polycystic ovary syndrome, a trial of metformin (Glucophage) therapy may be advised.
Some 10% to 20% of women taking clomiphene or letrozole will experience side effects.
By far, most of these are minor and temporary in nature.
They include such things as hot flashes, blurred vision, nausea, bloating sensation, and headache.
Serious side effects are rarely seen with either medication.
There are two side effects associated with clomiphene or letrozole therapy that warrant specific discussion.
The first is the possibility of multiple pregnancy.
The frequency of twins occurring in women who conceive while taking clomiphene or letrozole has been reported to be as high as 10%.
Triplets may occur as frequently as 1 in 400 births, and quadruplets in 1 in 800 births.
Neither clomiphene nor letrozole is the "fertility drug" you may have heard in the news bulletins often associated with large numbers of infants, such as quintuplets.
Newer studies suggest that long-term use of either clomiphene or letrozole for more than 12 cycles may place you at an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer.
Secondly, clomiphene and letrozole have also been associated with the occasional development of ovarian cysts.
These cysts are not true growths of the ovary and within a few weeks will resolve without treatment.
However, on an extremely rare occasion, these cysts have been known to cause internal bleeding or twist, requiring surgery and removal of the involved ovary.
However, I must again emphasize that such a complication is extremely rare.
Clomiphene or letrozole stimulated cycles are not unlike normal cycles in that there is only a 20-25% chance of conception occurring each cycle during the first three to four treatment cycles, even if the medication is working properly.
Results may be lower with unexplained infertility.
This means that at least four to six cycles of treatment are necessary before one has given either medication an adequate trial.
However, women with polycystic ovary syndrome may be at higher risk for miscarriage during a pregnancy conceived using either of these medications.
Couples trying to conceive may believe that a link between male fertility and Clomid can help them finally achieve a pregnancy.
Clomiphine citrate, the generic name for the prescription drug Clomid, is generally used to treat fertility problems in women who are trying to conceive.
It is often prescribed after a woman has tried unsuccessfully for several months to get pregnant, especially if the fertility problem is caused by a lack of ovulation.
Clomid may also cause the ovulation of extra eggs, which increases the chances that at least one egg will get fertilized during the cycle.
This also increases the change of having a multiple birth.
Despite its years of proven success, Clomid is not for everyone as it has some serious side effects.
First, long-term use of Clomid can actually cause some problems with fertility and may also increase the risk of ovarian cancer.
It can also trigger vision problems, hot flashes, vomiting, and mood swings.
Clomid carefully and to be aware of the possible side effects.
Although we hear a lot about female infertility problems, men can also have medical conditions that make it difficult to conceive.
Male fertility can be hampered by certain medications, injury to the reproductive system, sperm problems like low counts or lack of motility, or a varicocele in a testicle.
In some cases, radiation or chemotherapy for treatment of cancer can also make conception more difficult.
Although Clomid is typically used for women with fertility problems, recent studies have indicated that male fertility and Clomid might be a good combination.
Stimulating the pituitary gland in men who have either a low sperm count or sperm with poor motility can increase the production of good sperm.
Since Clomid increases the effect of the pituitary gland on male hormones, it makes sense that treating male fertility with Clomid may work.
In fact, a study by the World Health Organization in the early 1990s showed that there is an increase in the production of sperm by men taking Clomid.
Although the sperm production was increased in men who were treated with Clomid, those men were no more likely to conceive with their partners than men who were taking a placebo.
So, although the evidence is there to support a relationship between male fertility and Clomid, more research needs to be done to determine if this is a worthwhile treatment.
Surgery: A simple procedure can sometimes fix blockages and varicoceles that are preventing ejaculation.
Although the possibility of increasing male fertility with Clomid exists, there are many other proven options that work better.
Your doctor can advise you on other methods and can help you pick the right way to conceive for you and your family.

Generic Clomid - Clomiphene citrate (Clomid, Serophene, Milophene) became clinically available in 1968 and remains the first choice for ovulation induction in most women because of its relative safety, effectiveness, and low cost.
Generic Clomid is used for treating female infertility and for certain conditions as determined by your doctor.
Clomiphene citrate is a weak estrogen , but its predominant role is probably that of an antiestrogen .
Clomiphene can cause production of several ovules at a time.
That's why it makes multiple pregnancy (twin birth) quite possible.
Clomiphene is used to stimulate ovulation , increase ovarian progesterone secretion during the second half of the cycle, and make menstrual cycle lengths more predictable.
Clomiphene is taken orally once a day for 5 days.
Clomiphene is only active in the month it is taken.
It also need not be taken in a cycle where pregnancy will not be possible because of separation, illness, or other circumstances.
In women with no menstrual cycle , the initial course of clomiphene citrate is started after a progestin (Provera) induced menses.
If no menses occurs after taking Provera only 10% of the women will ovulate after clomiphene citrate .
After 5 days of progestin, the woman begins clomiphene citrate on the fifth day of bleeding.
One 50-mg tablet of clomiphene citrate (generic clomid) is taken for 5 days.
Intercourse should begin 3 to 5 days later in anticipation of ovulation.
In women with spontaneous menses clomiphene citrate may be started on days 3, 4, or 5 of menses.
Ovulation will be delayed if clomiphene citrate is started later than day 5 of the cycle, and starting clomiphene citrate prior to day 5 may result in recruitment of additional follicles.
Ovulation predictor kits detecting the LH surge may demonstrate false positive results if testing begins near the time of clomiphene citrate administration.
In the first clomiphene citrate cycle no further testing is performed.
If menses occurs, the same dose of clomiphene citrate is given after a normal pelvic examination or pelvic sonogram.
In the second cycle, serum progesterone is checked in the in the second half of the cycle to evaluate ovulation.
If normal progesterone concentrations are found, the same clomiphene citrate dose is repeated in the third cycle.
Ultrasound should be performed a day or two prior to ovulation to assess the uterine lining (endometrium).
If bleeding does not occur or if progesterone concentrations are low, the dose of clomiphene citrate is increased in 50-mg increments per day until a dose of 150 - 200 mg per day is reached.
Pelvic examinations or sonograms should be performed after each increased dose of clomiphene citrate ( generic clomid ).
Clomiphene citrate can result in residual follicles or cysts persisting into the next menstrual cycle.
If these cysts are present clomiphene citrate should not be taken until they have resolved.
Once an ovulatory dose is established, the current regimen is maintained for 3-6 months.
Further increase in the dose of clomiphene citrate will not be of benefit.
Alternative regimens and adjunctive therapies have been used with clomiphene citrate therapy .
The duration of clomiphene citrate ( generic clomid ) therapy may range from 3-7 days and the dose may be decreased to 12.
Although clomiphene citrate can be used to treat poor progesterone production, clomiphene citrate therapy also may result in poor progesterone production.
If this occurs, progesterone vaginal suppositories, 50 mg a day can be added to clomiphene citrate beginning 2 days after ovulation and continuing until menses.
The addition of human chorionic gonadotropins (hCG) 10,000 IU intramuscularly, to the clomiphene citrate regimen is appropriate in cycles where a follicle develops but does not ovulate ovulation.
The use of ultrasound to detect a follicular diameter of at least 18 mm prior to HCG injection is recommended since premature injection of HCG can inhibit ovulation.
Clomiphene (generic clomid) works by providing a large discharge of 2 hormones which cause ovulation and the production of ovules.
At the beginning of the treatment the medicine influences the hypophysis and makes it secrete more gonadotrophic hormones that stimulate maturation of ovarian follicles and prepare ovules for fertilization.
As soon as the patient stops taking the drug the hypothalamus starts secreting other hormones which make the ovary produce a mature ovule that is going to be taken to one of the oviducts for fertilization.
That process is called ovulation.
There is limited evidence that clomiphene makes pregnancy more likely for couples with unexplained infertility.
Clomiphene (generic clomid) may be most effective when it is used to generate multiple eggs before an insemination procedure.
Of women whose infertility is caused only by absent or infrequent ovulation, with clomiphene treatment approximately 80% will ovulate.
And within 9 cycles of treatment, 70% to 75% will become pregnant.
Experts used to think miscarriage rates were slightly higher in women who became pregnant using clomiphene, but recent studies have not shown this to be true.
Clomiphene (generic clomid) alone may not be an effective treatment for most women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and severe insulin resistance , which is closely linked to obesity.
Women with PCOS who are overweight often begin ovulating when they reduce their body mass index (BMI) with diet and exercise.
Use generic Clomid as directed by your doctor.
Take generic Clomid by mouth with or without food.
Ovulation usually occurs 5 to 10 days after a dose of generic Clomid.
Generic Clomid is an ovulatory stimulant.
In case you have missed to take the medicine take it when you recall it.
But keep to the schedule if it's already the time for the next pill and don't take an additional one for the one you missed.
Store generic Clomid at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C).
Brief storage between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C) is permitted.
Store away from heat, moisture, and light.
Keep generic Clomid out of the reach of children and away from pets.
Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
Enlargement of the ovaries may happen during or shortly after taking generic Clomid.
Call your health care provider if you experience any stomach or pelvic pain, weight gain, pain, or stomach enlargement or discomfort while taking generic Clomid .
Pregnancy with more than 1 fetus (e.
Lab tests, including pregnancy tests, may be performed while you use generic Clomid.
These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: do not use generic Clomid if you are pregnant.
Avoid becoming pregnant while you are taking it.
If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor right away.
It is not known if generic Clomid is found in breast milk.
Answer: Clomid is a synthetic estrogen and is generally prescribed by doctors to trigger ovulation in females.
Question: Why Should Bodybuilders use Clomid?
Answer: Almost all anabolic androgenic steroids will cause an inhibition of the bodies own testosterone production.
When he comes off the steroids he has no natural test production and no more steroids.
The body is left in a state of catabolism (catabolic hormones are high and anabolic hormones are low) and as a result much of the muscle tissue that was gained on the cycle is now going to be lost.
Clomid stimulates the hypophysis to release more gonadotropin so that a faster and higher release of follicle stimulating hormone aud luteinizing hormone occurs.
This results in an increase of the body's own testosterone production.
Question: Does Clomid also work as an anti estrogen?
Answer: Clomid is a synthetic estrogen, however it does also work as an anti-estrogen.
Because it is a weak synthetic estrogen, it will bind to the estrogen receptor (ER) and not cause any problems.
At the same time the increase in estrogen from steroids are blocked from attaching to the ER.
Question: How effective is Clomid as an anti-estrogen?
Answer: It is very weak and should not be relied upon if you are going to be using steroids that aromatise at any rapid rate, or if you are pre disposed to gyno.
Arimidex, Proviron and Nolvadex will all make better choices for this purpose.
Question: Some say Clomid during a cycle is a waste, is this true?
Answer: Lets first examine what happens when someone is using anabolic androgenic steroids.
When the level of androgens in the body get too high, the androgen receptor becomes more highly activated, and the hypothalamus stops sending a signal to the pituitary.
In short the signal tells our body to stop producing testosterone.
During a cycle the body has higher levels than normal of androgens and as long as this level is high enough clomid will not help to keep natural test production up.
It will be almost all but completely shut off.
The only purpose of clomid during a cycle is as an anti-estrogen.
Question: When do I start Clomid?
Answer: When you start using your clomid all depends on what steroids you were using during your cycle.
Different steroids have different half lifes and you should adjust your clomid intake accordingly.
As we have seen above, if we take clomid when the androgen levels in our body is still high it will be a waste.
We need to wait for androgen levels to fall before implementing our clomid therapy.
However if we take it too late we could possibly lose gains.
Look at the list below to determine when you should start clomid therapy.
By selecting from the list all the steroids you used in your cycle and which ever one has the latest starting point then go with that.
For example if I cycled dbol, sustanon and winstrol I would use sustanon as it remains active in the body for the longest period of time.
Question: What is the most effective way for Clomid therapy.
Answer: Clomid has a long half life and as such there is no need to split up doses throughout the day.
I read some where that it was 5 days (any feedback on this).
Now if we used sustanon and we start using clomid 3 weeks after our last injection we anticipate that androgen levels are low enough to start sending the correct signals.
We need to start at a high enough amount that will work or help even if androgen levels are still a little high.
After we have finished this first day we seek to use 100mgs for 10 days and then followed by 50mgs for 10 days.
Question: Do I need to use Clomid for 3 weeks?
It is very cheap, very effective and can mean the difference between maintaining gains and losing them.
Question: How cheap is Clomid?
Answer: Clomid normally comes in 50mg tablets but also comes in capsule form of 25mgs.
Question: Do all steroids cause shut down of the hpta.
Everyone is different and you must also take into account how long you have been using a certain steroid and at what dose in order to determine if you need clomid or not.
However as the price is so cheap, why risk not using it.

Clomid is the commonly referenced brand name for the drug clomiphene citrate.
It is not an anabolic steroid, but a prescription drug generally prescribed to women as a fertility aid.
This is due to the fact that clomiphene citrate shows a pronounced ability to stimulate ovulation.
In certain target tissues it can block the ability of estrogen to bind with its corresponding receptor.
Its clinical use is therefore to oppose the negative feedback of estrogens on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which enhances the release of LH and FSH.
This of course can help to induce ovulation.
For athletic purposes, Clomid does not offer a tremendous benefit to women.
In men however, the elevation in both follicle stimulating hormone and (primarily) luteinizing hormone will cause natural testosterone production to increase.
This effect is especially beneficial to the athlete at the conclusion of a steroid cycle when endogenous testosterone levels are depressed.
If endogenous testosterone levels are not brought beck to normal, a dramatic loss in size and strength is likely to occur once the anabolics have been removed.
This is due to the fact that without testosterone (or other androgens), the catabolic hormone cortisol becomes the dominant force affecting muscle protein synthesis (quickly bringing about a catabolic metabolism).
Often referred to as the post-steroid crash, it can quickly eat up much of your newly acquired muscle.
Clomid can play a crucial role in preventing this crash in athletic performance.
As for women, the only real use for Clomid is the possible management of endogenous estrogen levels near contest time.
This can increase fat loss and muscularity, particularly in female trouble areas such as this hips and thighs.
Clomid however often produces troubling side effects in women (discussed below), and is likewise not in very high demand among this group of athletes.
Male users generally find that a daily intake of 50-100 mg (1-2 tablets) over a four to six week period will bring testosterone production back to an acceptable level.
This raise in testosterone should occur slowly but evenly throughout the period of intake.
Since an immediate boost in testosterone is often desirable, many prefer to combine Clomid with HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) for the first week or two after the steroids have been removed.
The kick-start from HCG also helps to restore the normal ability for the testes to respond to endogenous LH, which may be hindered for some time after the cycle is ended due to a prolonged state of inactivity.
Once the HCG is stopped, the user continues treatment with Clomid alone.
HCG should not be used for longer than two or three weeks though, as the resulting increased testosterone and estrogen levels may again initiate negative feedback inhibition at the hypothalamus.
When planning your ancillary drug program, it is also important to remember that injectable steroids can stay active for a long duration.
Using ancillary drugs the first week after a long acting injectable like Sustanon has been stopped may prove to be wholly ineffective.
Instead, the athlete should wait for two to three weeks, to a point where androgen levels will be diminishing.
Here the body will be primed and ready to restore testosterone production.
Clomid and HCG are also occasionally used periodically during a steroid cycle, in an effort to prevent natural testosterone levels from diminishing.
In many instances this practice can prove difficult however, especially when using strong androgens for longer periods of time.
There is also no exact method for using the two drugs in this manner.
Some have experimented by periodically administering small doses of HCG along with one or two tablets of Clomid, perhaps for a few days at a stretch followed by a longer break.
This method of intake may prove to be effective, although it is really much more feasible to stimulate testosterone production after the cycle than to try and maintain it for the long duration during.
In addition to helping with the post-cycle testosterone crash, this drug can also help with elevated estrogen levels during a steroid cycle.
A high estrogen bevel puts an athlete in serious risk of developing gynecomastia, which is an obvious unwanted side effect.
With the intake of Clomid, the athlete can hopefully reduce his risk for developing gynecomastia.
Clomid appear to be slightly weaker than Nolvadex in comparison however, which is why it is not usually thought of as an equal substitute for estrogen maintenance.
Of course both drugs have similar actions in the body.
Clomid can likewise also be used as a maintenance anti-estrogen throughout the duration of steroid cycle with good confidence, just as is done with Nolvadex.
Unfortunately just as with Nolvadex this is not always the case however, and many find it necessary to addition another anti-estrogenic drug.
The most common adjunct is Proviron, an oral DHT used to competitively lower aromatase activity and raise the androgen to estrogen ratio.
Nolvadex and Proviron combination is extremely effective, although we could alternately replace them both with a more specific aromatase inhibitor such as Arimidex,Femara, or Aromasin.
While stronger at combating estrogen in most cases, these drugs are also typically much more costly.
As for toxicity and side effects, Clomid is considered a very safe drug.
Bodybuilders seldom report any problems, but listed possible side effects do include hot flashes, nausea, dizziness, headaches and temporarily blurred vision.
Such side effects usually only appear in females however, as they feel the effects of estrogen manipulation much more readily than men.
While female athletes can clearly gain some benefit from this substance, estrogen manipulation is probably not the most comfortable way to go about cutting up.
Should it still be used for such purposed and side effects do become pronounced, the drug of course is to be discontinued and (at least) a break taken from it.
Clomiphene citrate is widely available on the black market in a variety of brand names as well as generic tabs and liquid versions.
Clomid, which is sold also under other brand names such as Serophene, as well as its generic name, Clomiphene, is a drug used to treat infertility in women with ovulatory problems.
If you are struggling to get pregnant because your menstrual cycle is unpredictable, or your periods have stopped altogether, Clomid may be the treatment for you.
However, Clomid is not a suitable treatment for all types of infertility problems, and you should only begin taking Clomid after consultation with your health care provider.
Your doctor will carry out a range of tests on both you and your partner (the problem may indeed lie with him!
Clomid is the right treatment for you.
So What Exactly Does Clomid Do?
Clomid is administered in pill form.
You take one pill every day for five consecutive days each month.
The pills trigger the production of certain hormones in your body which stimulate your ovaries into producing and releasing mature eggs, which, hopefully, will be fertilized by your partners' sperm when you have sex.
The advantage of Clomid, apart from bringing on ovulation in women who aren't ovulating at all, is that you can predict when the egg will be released from your ovaries, and therefore have a better chance of having sex at the right time.
So - how exactly does Clomid bring about the production and release of eggs?
Well, to understand that, it's helpful to know a little more about the natural ovulation process, when no medication is involved.
When you're menstruating normally, little follicles grow inside your ovaries.
Each of these follicles contains an egg, which it nurtures.
Over the course of the month, the follicles grow and mature as do the eggs they contain.
The follicles also produce oestrogen.
At the beginning of your cycle when the follicles are small, they don't produce much oestrogen and your oestrogen levels are low.
These low oestrogen levels trigger the production of Gandatropin Releasing Hormone, or GnRH, which in turn stimulates your pituitary gland into producing Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH).
The FSH prompts the follicles to grow larger and as this happens, the level of oestrogen in your body increases.
The higher oestrogen levels cause a release of Luteinising Hormone (LH), known as an LH surge.
This surge triggers the release of a mature egg from the ovaries, down into the fallopian tubes and into the uterus.
The egg is usually released between 12 and 24 hours following the LH surge.
To get pregnant, you just need to make sure that healthy sperm meets the egg - which is, of course, sometimes easier said than done.
Clomid attaches itself to parts of the brain called oestrogen receptors.
These receptors are what enable your brain to tell accurately how much oestrogen is in your body and whether or not it needs to produce more or less.
Clomid blocks these receptors and tricks your brain into thinking that your oestrogen levels are lower than they really are.
The brain therefore sends a signal out to the body that it needs to produce more GnRH, which in turn stimulates the production of FSH.
The FSH causes the follicles in the ovaries to grow larger and mature and helps them nurture the eggs they contain.
The follicles also produce oestrogen and the increase in oestrogen triggers the LH surge, which tells the ovaries to release a mature egg.
And there you have it - ovulation!
Now what you have to do is make sure that egg gets fertilized!

Clomid is the medication Clomiphene citrate.
It is a hormone used to induce ovulation, to correct irregular ovulation, to increase egg production and to correct a condition known as luteal phase deficiency.
Clomid is typically taken in doses from 59 mg to 200 mg, and taken for 5-9 days.
Clomid is among the most inexpensive fertility drugs.
It is easily taken (orally rather than by injection) and it is the first line drug used for ovulation induction in patients with PCOS and other ovulatory disorders.
It can also be used to assess ovarian reserve (the likelihood that a woman's ovaries can still produce viable eggs).
Clomid is a potent and complicated medication.
Clomid is reacts with all of the tissues in the body that have estrogen receptors, such as the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary, endometrium, vagina, and cervix.
Just as women's bodies are so different from one another, their reactions to Clomid vary tremendously.
Some women have virtually no side effects.
Others do, but they are more frequently related to emotions.
Side effects may include mood swings, hot flashes, breast tenderness, and thinning of the uterine lining.
About 10 percent of those who use Clomid will have a multiple pregnancy (twins).
Clomid can cause hostile fertile mucous and thins the uterine lining in over 30 percent of the women who use it.
The hostile mucus kills sperm, and the thin uterine can prevent implantation or cause an early miscarriage.

There are several types of fertility drugs, most of which are made from hormones intended to stimulate a woman's reproductive system.
Your doctor will perform fertility tests to analyze your particular infertility problems, advise you of the risks, benefits, and side effects of the appropriate fertility drugs, and help you decide on a course of treatment.
Injectable fertility drugs typically come in either an ampoule or a vial and may be in either liquid or powder form.
Many fertility drugs come as a powder with accompanying diluents (usually water or a saline solution) that must be combined before fertility injections are administered.
Depending on the fertility medication and treatment utilized, a fertility calendar can be used to coordinate dosage with the menstrual cycle.
Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone that is an important part of helping a woman become pregnant.
Progesterone therapy is indicated for cases in which conception is difficult because the woman's body does not produce enough of the hormone on its own.
Supplemental progesterone can be used to mimic a regular menstrual cycle and to increase the chances of successful fertilization.
This fertility drug can be administered orally, through injection, or through vaginal gels and suppositories.
Disadvantages of progesterone therapy include the possibility of nausea, constipation, headache, drowsiness, breast tenderness, joint discomfort, and depression.
Some fertility patients may require special supervision when receiving progesterone therapy, including those patients with a history of asthma, epilepsy, migraines, and cardiac problems.
If a woman is unable to achieve pregnancy due to low levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) or follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) production, or if she is undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment, gonadotropins may be administered, often in combination with other fertility drugs.
These hormones come in two drug forms: recombinant and urine-based.
Both fertility medications can be effective and are administered through injection.
Recombinant drugs have proven slightly more successful, but if levels of LH are low, urine-based drugs may be preferable.
The fertility doctor and the couple should make the decision about which drug is the best choice before treatment is begun.
Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone (GnRH) agonists are fertility drugs commonly used with in vitro fertilization to increase the chances of pregnancy.
GnRH agonists give the fertility specialist more control over the timing of ovulation, which is important for IVF.
Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone antagonists achieve the same purpose as GnRH agonists, preventing the release of LH and FSH so that the doctor can better control ovulation.
More control over the timing of ovulation allows fertility doctors greater precision in timing with egg retrieval and other relevant procedures.
The advantage of GnRH antagonists is that they may be administered for a shorter duration than the agonists, while producing the same result.
Reported side effects of GnRH fertility drugs include: abdominal pain, nausea, headache, vaginal bleeding, and, rarely, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a condition where the ovaries swell and enlarge.
These drugs are associated with fairly high success rates and help millions of women have successful pregnancies.
The drug is taken orally for five days a month.
Good candidates include women who infrequently or never ovulate, women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and women undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment.
The most common, affecting from 10 to 14 percent of patients, are ovarian enlargement and hot flashes.
Fewer than six percent experience abdominal and pelvic discomfort or bloating, nausea and vomiting, breast discomfort, and vision problems, including blurred vision, flashes, and floaters.
Fewer than two percent experience headache or abnormal uterine bleeding.
Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (hMG) is often used as an alternative if clomiphene citrate does not work effectively.
Like clomiphene, hMG works by controlling and producing LH and FSH in order to induce ovulation.
This fertility drug can be helpful for women with low levels of estrogen, PCOS, luteal phase defects, unexplained infertility, and those about to undergo IVF.
The success rate for inducing ovulation is usually 75 percent or higher.

When else might clomifene be prescribed?
Many women with fertility problems are prescribed clomifene, a drug which makes you more likely to ovulate each month.
It is a well established treatment and the most widely used fertility drug.
Women who ovulate irregularly or not at all, including those with polycystic ovaries or polycystic ovary syndrome.
Clomifene is also used in cases of unexplained infertility (NCCWCH 2004: 58).
The active ingredient in clomifene is clomifene citrate, an anti-oestrogen drug which is taken in pill form.
It works by increasing levels of two hormones which cause stimulation of the ovaries and release of an egg.
It tells your pituitary gland to produce or make more of the hormones that trigger ovulation (follicle-stimulating hormone or FSH).
This prompts your ovaries to get a number of your eggs ready.
Then, once you finish your drug cycle, your hypothalamus (the part of your brain that regulates basic functions, such as temperature) will release luteinising hormone (LH).
LH tells your ovaries it's time to release a mature egg from its follicle and send it into one of your fallopian tubes.
You start taking clomifene about three to five days into your monthly menstrual cycle, and continue taking it for about five days.
Ovulation generally occurs five to nine days after the last pill.
Your doctor will usually monitor you for at least the first cycle of treatment using ultrasound to see whether your ovaries are preparing an egg follicle and releasing the egg into one of your fallopian tubes.
Most women will go through a maximum of three to six drug cycles: it can take a month or two of drug therapy to start ovulating regularly.
However, it is recommended that treatment can continue for up to 12 cycles, probably with a gap between courses of treatment, because there is more chance of ovulation starting if treatment is continued for this long (NCCWCH 2004: 58).
If you have polycystic ovary syndrome this treatment may not work for you, as 15 to 40 per cent of women with PCOS are resistant to clomifene (Beck et al 2005).
This is more common in women who have a BMI (body mass index) greater than 25.
In this case, your doctor may recommend that you try to lose some weight.
Even a modest weight loss of about five per cent of your body weight can help improve your chances of ovulation.
Your doctor may also prescribe metformin, an insulin-sensitising drug.
Metformin can help you respond to clomifene and has been shown to increase the chances of ovulating and getting pregnant (NCCWCH 2004: 58-9).
You might also take clomifene (and other fertility drugs) before you undergo a fertility treatment such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), to encourage you to produce several eggs for the procedure.
Clomifene can help men with certain hormonal imbalances linked to a low sperm count, or poor sperm quality or motility (its ability to move).
Find out more about fertility drugs for men.
Fertility drugs can cause a wide range of minor side effects, including mood swings, mild ovarian swelling, stomach pain, breast tenderness, insomnia, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, headaches, fatigue, irritability, depression, weight gain and, in rarer cases, ovarian cysts.
It can also cause your cervical mucus to become drier, so you may want to use a vaginal lubricant that is sperm-friendly.
One study in the mid-1990s suggested that the risk of ovarian cancer in later life might be increased after more than 12 cycles of treatment (Rossing et al 1994).
However, studies have failed to find a strong link between fertility drugs and ovarian cancer.
Women who take clomifene with other fertility drugs, such as human menopausal gonadotrophin (hMG), sometimes develop ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) (NCCWCH 2004: 67), although this rarely happens with clomifene on its own (Beck et al 2005).
This is a potentially serious condition signalled by weight gain and a full, bloated feeling.
OHSS occurs when you respond too well to the drugs and produce too many eggs.
Normally, this resolves itself with careful monitoring by your doctor, but in rare cases it can be life threatening.
Find out more about OHSS and the symptoms to look out for.
Most couples are interested in two success statistics: the ovulation rate and the pregnancy rate.
Fertility drugs are quite successful at stimulating ovulation: about 70 per cent of women will ovulate, most within the first three months of treatment (NCCWCH 2004: 57).
The wide range in success rates is due to all the other factors affecting pregnancy, including the time in your cycle you have sex, your age and weight, and the speed and motility of your partner's sperm.
There is a theory that the anti-oestrogen effect of the drug makes women more likely to miscarry.
One study reported miscarriage rates of 13 per cent to 25 per cent, but suggested that this was similar to rates in couples without fertility treatment (Kousta et al 1997).
There is very little good evidence available on the live birth rate for fertility drugs such as clomifene, as most researchers seem most interested in the rates of ovulation and pregnancy.
Drugs that stimulate ovulation can result in more than one egg being released, increasing the chance of multiple pregnancy (NCCWCH 2004: 57-8).
Women who take clomifene have about a seven per cent chance of conceiving twins and a 0.

Occasionally women need to have their ovulation induced when they are having problems conceiving.
Clomid is a fertility medication which induces ovulation.
We usually start this medication at 50 mg.
If the lower dosing fails to induce ovulation we may increase the dosage.
Ovulation will be induced, but you will not get pregnant.
In this case, you will have a period on days 27-30 of your cycle.
Ovulation will be induced, and you will get pregnant.
You will not have a period, and should visit our office for a pregnancy test.
The dosage of clomid may fail to induce ovulation.
In this case, you will not have a period, and will have a negative pregnancy test.
We will most likely increase the dosage of the medication at this point.
If your period does start, then repeat the cycle with clomid again.
Mark the days on your calendar with the instructions below to ensure that you are following them correctly.
If you have a period on days 27-30 after taking clomid, then the medicine is working correctly.
You should continue taking the medication and have intercourse at the time of ovulation.
If you fail to have a period, but your pregnancy test is negative, you are not pregnant.
We will induce a period with medroxyprogesterone acetate.
During your next cycle, we will increase the clomid to 100 mg.
We will continue to increase the dose if you do not ovulate when taking the lower dosage.
When your period begins, mark this as "day 1" on your calendar.
Count and mark the number of days until "day 5" and mark this on your calendar.
This is the day you will begin taking clomid.
Take the medication on days 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
You may then label the calendar on the days you may ovulate (most likely days 12-15).
You should have intercourse at least on days 12, 14, and 16 of your cycle.
Then count and label your calendar on "days 27-31.
This may be when your period begins again.
If your cycle has not begun by "day 31" please call our office.
Clomid is a fertility medication.
One important side effect is the possibility of multiple births.
The probability of having twins while taking this medication is 7% (meaning 7 out of 100 women taking clomid will get pregnant with twins).
The chance of having more than twins is rare.

MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: The information provided in the Florida Fertility Institute web site should be relied upon for medical education purposes only.
It is not intended to replace the independent judgment of a health care provider.
Both of these drugs contain clomiphene.
But that still doesn't answer the key question: why did my doctor tell me to take this?
Clomiphene was actually developed as birth control because over time it causes the uterine lining to thin.
That takes months, so don't run back to your doctor and accuse him or her of trying to prevent you from getting pregnant!
The other effect clomiphene has is that it regulates ovulation.
If you have irregular ovulation or PCOS, clomiphene pretty reliably will cause you to ovulate.
Simply ovulating more frequently and appropriately timing intercourse may be all you need to get pregnant.
If you already ovulate, clomiphene will likely cause you to develop multiple follicles, resulting in multiple eggs, and the hope is that you will have a higher likelihood of one of those eggs fertilizing.
Clomiphene is typically taken twice a day on days 5-9 of your cycle.
There are studies looking at different dosing schedules, such as days 2-6 or 3-7, to allow for the uterine lining to recover, if it was negatively affected.
Generally, in the first few months, that is not a problem.
It works by tricking the brain into thinking that there is not enough estrogen, so more FSH and LH are produced, resulting in an increase in estrogen.
The increased hormones cause more follicles to develop in the ovaries.
At the same time, that is the cause of the side effects, too.
The extra estrogen can cause hot flashes, headaches, ovarian cysts or enlargement, breast tenderness, and mood swings.
It can also create a "hostile cervical mucus" that negatively impacts sperm, which is why clomiphene treatment is often combined with intrauterine insemination to bypass the cervix.
And clomiphene can result in multiple births--that risk is about 10%, usually twins.
The problem with clomiphene is that since it is cheap and easy to prescribe, some women are not monitored while taking it.
They may take it for 6 months unsupervised, and still not get pregnant.
It is important to take it with monitoring for follicular development, and ideally, with ovulation triggered by an injection of HCG to maximize the chance for pregnancy.
Many doctors draw the line at 5 follicles--if you develop more than 5 follicles, they will not give you the HCG shot because you run a higher risk of multiple fertilizations.
Most reproductive endocrinologists do not prescribe clomiphene longer than three months before moving on to something else.
Pregnancy success rates with clomiphene are low, about 10-15% per cycle, and time is a consideration.
If your problem is that you do not ovulate, clomiphene will probably make you ovulate, and that alone improves your chances for pregnancy.
If you already ovulate, the multiple follicles that result will also improve your chances.
Discuss your options with your doctor.
If you're young and anovulatory, clomiphene is a reasonable place to start, but make sure your get supervision of your follicular development.
If you're over 35, get yourself to a reproductive endocrinologist before taking clomiphene because there may be other reasons that you're not getting pregnant, and clomiphene may be a waste of time.
But as always, keep your hopes up that this month is your lucky month!

For many couples, conceiving and carrying a pregnancy to term is not a problem while for others conception is challenging and elusive.
Such couples may find themselves on the road to fertility treatments in order to bring about their desire for offspring.
If, after testing, the problem is shown to be ovulatory dysfunction, then it is likely the physician will prescribe Clomid, one of the most common fertility medications used to regulate or induce ovulation.
Clomid is short for clomiphene citrate and, when initially prescribed, it is usually given at the lowest possible dose to see how or if it will work.
If it fails to stimulate ovulation, the dose may be increased for the next cycle.
It is suggested that Clomid be used for a maximum of six cycles and, if ovulation occurs with use, then there is no value in increasing the dosage.
If there is no ovulation after six cycles, then other treatment should be considered.
To understand how Clomid works it is of value to know what happens during a normal ovulatory cycle.
The hypothalamus, a small gland at the base of the brain, works to regulate the levels of certain hormones produced by the pituitary gland which are necessary for normal reproductive organ function.
Two of these hormones which are affected (and vitally necessary for reproduction) are follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
FSH production is stimulated by gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), which is produced by the hypothalamus.
FSH is the hormone which causes the growth and development of ovarian follicles - each of these follicles contains an egg.
As these healthy follicles grow, they release estrogen that travels through the blood to the hypothalamus, which is monitoring the estrogen levels and producing GnRH as needed.
When estrogen levels are high it means the follicles are mature and the need for GnRH is reduced, which in turn lowers FSH levels.
What Happens If The Process Is Hindered?
If this process is hindered, then a woman may be prescribed Clomid.
Clomid tricks the estrogen receptors at the hypothalamus into functioning as if the estrogen levels are low.
The hypothalamus works to produce more GnRH which stimulates the pituitary gland to increase follicle stimulating hormones.
The fundamental concept is to create a situation where the body will make follicles which will mature into eggs which can be fertilized, resulting in pregnancy.
If there are no ovulatory issues, Clomid is not useful.
Of the women who do not ovulate and are prescribed Clomid, 80 percent go on to ovulate and of that number, 40 percent conceive.
Of those who do conceive, 10 percent will have a multiple pregnancy.
Many women do not have any side effects from Clomid use.
However, with high doses, a woman may experience mood swings, nausea and vomiting, breast tenderness, headache and fatigue.
In addition, 30 percent of Clomid users experience a situation where cervical mucus becomes hostile to sperm, making conception difficult.

The fertility drug Clomid, because of the way it works, increases chances of multiple births, including twins, triplets, or more.
Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is a drug or medication that is used to stimulate the hormones for ovulation.
It can be taken orally, or injected.
It is one of the first steps for infertility treatment.
Clomid is taken on either days 3-7 or days 5-9 of your cycle depending on how many days your cycle is.
Your doctor will determine this for you.

How does clomid work and what is the maximum number of cycles that it can be used safely and effectively?
Clomiphene citrate commonly known as 'clomid' has been proven to be extremely effective in inducing ovulation in oligo-amenorrheic (infrequent or absent menses) women .
Clomiphene citrate is the most commonly used fertility medication prescribed for anovulatory women.
Clomiphene citrate binds with the estrogen receptor and causes the hypothalamus to sense a lack of estrogen, resulting in increased secretion of gonadotropins (FSH and LH.
Clomiphene is very effective in inducing ovulation in most women, however, pregnancy rates only approach 65 percent with the use of this medication.
Thus, the lack of ovulation is not always the only cause of infertility.
Over 75 percent of patients who get pregnant with clomiphene do so within the first four to six months.
Thus, if a pregnancy not is not achieved within the first four to six months of use, additional evaluations and therapies are usually required.
Women are advised to discuss the duration of therapy with their clinicians.
A clearly defined period of use is advisable secondary to potential risks associated with clomiphene citrateuse.
When discussing risks with clinicians, one must keep in mind the limitations of the studies available in the medical literature.
These limitations include low statistical power to make a definitive conclusion, methodological errors in the studies performed, and difficulty in distinguishing the potential effects of fertility drug exposure from underlying ovulatory disorders.
In conclusion, women who are prescribed clomiphene citrate for a specific number of cycles should recognize that it is a highly effective and safe medication with a relatively low incidence of serious or long-term side effects.
There is an extensive body of literature regarding clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction.
Treatment beyond six cycles should be carefully discussed with your healthcare provider.
Treatment beyond 12 cycles is discouraged except under expert supervision.

Clomid is the commonly referenced brand name for clomiphene citrate.
The substance is not an anabolic steroid, but Clomid generally prescribed to women as a fertility aid.
This is due to the fact that clomiphene citrate shows a pronounced ability to stimulate ovulation.
In certain target tissues it can block the ability of estrogen to bind with its corresponding receptor.
Clomid's clinical use is therefore to oppose the negative feedback of estrogens on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which enhances the release of LH and FSH.
Offers dual effect of blocking out some of the effects of estrogen, while also increasing endogenous testosterone production.
Clomid is the anti-estrogen of choice for improving recovery of natural testosterone production after a cycle, improving testosterone production of endurance athletes, and this drug is also effective in reducing risk of gynecomastia during a cycle employing aromatizable steroids.
While it has been claimed that Clomid "stimulates" production of LH and therefore of testosterone, in fact Clomid's activity is achieved not by stimulation of the hypothalamus and pituitary, but by blocking their inhibition by estrogen.
The estrogen receptor requires binding of an estrogen or drug at its binding site and also the binding of any of several cofactors at different sites.
Without the binding of the cofactor, the estrogen receptor is inactive.
Clomid complex, but others are blocked due to the change in shape.
The result is that in some tissues Clomid acts as an antagonist -- the cofactor used in that tissue cannot bind and so the receptor remains inactive -- and in others its acts as an agonist (activator), because the cofactors used in that tissue are able to bind.
Clomid is an effective antagonist in the hypothalamus and in breast tissue.
It is an effective agonist in bone tissue, and for improving blood cholesterol.

Medical Information:Gonaphene tablets contain the active ingredient clomifene citrate (previously spelt clomiphene in the UK).
Clomifene is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.
Clomifene works by causing an increase in the levels of hormones in the female body which control the development and release of an egg.
These hormones are released from the pituitary gland in the brain and are known as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH).
FSH stimulates the ovaries and LH causes the release of an egg from the ovaries (ovulation).
Oestrogen normally causes the brain to stop releasing FSH and LH following ovulation, as part of the normal menstrual cycle.
It does this by acting on receptors in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which sends messages to the pituitary gland.
Clomifene works by blocking the oestrogen receptors in the hypothalamus.
This stops oestrogen from acting on these receptors, and therefore stops the message being sent to the pituitary gland.
This results in the release of more FSH and LH from the pituitary gland.
The increase in these hormones increases the chances of egg development and ovulation.
Clomifene is used to stimulate ovulation in women whose infertility is due to problems with ovulation.

The first line of defense for women with PCOS and infertility is clomiphene citrate, also known by its brand names, Clomid and Serophene.
Clomiphene is used to induce ovulation, to correct irregular ovulation, to help increase egg production and to correct luteal phase deficiency.
It is one of the selective estrogen receptor modulators that acts as an anti-estrogen and tricks the pituitary into producing more FSH and LH, which stimulates the ovary into producing more eggs and follicles.
Clomiphene citrate comes in 50 mg tablets, which are taken on days 5-9 of your cycle, or less typically, on days 3-7.
Doses range from 50 mg to 200 mg.
A few doctors will prescribe 250 mg, but it is rare and goes against manufacturer's suggestions.
Hormone hell is probably the best way to describe it.
Actually, some women have very few emotional side effects, but many do.
Personally, I had a tough time at 50 mg when I started, was fine at 100 mg, but had a tough few days (6-9) on 150 mg.
Mood swings, hot flashes, breast tenderness, and thinning of the uterine lining may occur.
Multiple gestation pregnancies may occur (about an 8-10% occurrence in those who get pregnant).
It is one of the more affordable fertility drugs, and it has a generic available.
It gets obviously more expensive when you triple the dosage.
Generally, research shows that if it doesn't work in 4 -6 cycles, it isn't going to work.
However, if you take a break and start over, perhaps adding the HCG, then you start the 4-6 cycles over again.
As with most ovulation-inducing drugs, there is a risk of overstimulation.
This drug should not be taken if you are pregnant or have a history of liver disease.
Several years ago, there was research reported that clomid increased a woman's chance of getting cervical cancer.
The data has since been found to be flawed, and many physicians discredit its conclusions.
If you have concerns, talk to your physician about them.
Many physicians will not do an ultrasound on a clomid cycle unless an HCG is added.
However, on or around cycle day 21, a progesterone check (blood draw) is often done.
An ovulation predictor kit can be used to test for an LH surge.
Each kit is different and you may need to test on a different day when on this drug--do read the instructions carefully.
It can create hostile cervical mucus or dry up the mucus, in which case a postcoital test may be done.
This would not be necessary if an IUI were being done.

One of the most frequently asked questions on MuscleTalk is how to use properly use the post cycle therapy (PCT) drugs Clomid, Nolvadex and HCG correctly.
A note to Americans - when I say 'oestrogen' I mean 'estrogen' - we spell it correctly in the UK!
Why Bodybuilders Use ClomidClomid is a generic name for Clomiphene Citrate and is a synthetic oestrogen.
It is prescribed medically to aid ovulation in low fertility females.
Another generic name is Serophene.
Most anabolic steroids, especially the androgens, cause inhibition of the body's own testosterone production.
When a bodybuilder comes off a steroid cycle, natural testosterone production is zero and the levels of the steroids taken in the blood are diminishing.
This leaves the ratios of catabolic : anabolic hormones in the blood high, hence the body is in a state of catabolism, and, as a result, much of the muscle tissue that was gained on the cycle is now going to be lost.
Clomid stimulates the hypothalamus to, in turn stimulant the anterior pituitary gland (aka hypophysis) to release gonadotrophic hormones.
The gonadotrophic hormones are follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH - aka interstitial cell stimulating hormone (ICSH)).
FSH stimulates the testes to produce more testosterone, and LH stimulates them to secrete more testosterone.
This feedback mechanism is known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-testes axis (HPTA), and results in an increase of the body's own testosterone production and blood levels rise, to, in part, compensate for the diminishing levels of exogenous steroids.
This is vital to minimise post cycle muscle losses.
Not all steroids do cause shut down of the feedback mechanism.
Everyone is different and you must also take into account how long you have been using a certain steroid and at what dose in order to determine if you need Clomid or not.
Clomid also works as an anti-oestrogen.
As it's a weak synthetic oestrogen, it binds to oestrogen receptors on cells blocking them to oestrogen in the blood.
This minimises the negative effects like gynecomastia and water retention that may be a result of oestrogen that has aromatised from testosterone.
It's effect as an anti-oestrogen are quite weak though, and it should not be relied upon if you are going to be using androgenic steroids that aromatise at a rapid rate, or if you are pre-disposed to gynecomastia.
Arimidex and Nolvadex (Tamoxifen) are far more effective anti-oestrogens.
Important note: Clomid does not, as is often thought, stimulate the release of natural testosterone, but rather works at reducing the oestrogenic inhibition caused by the steroid cycle.
It does this in a similar manner to the way it and Nolvadex block oestrogen receptors in nipples to combat gyno development, i.
This allows LH levels to return to normal, or even above normal levels, and in turn, natural testosterone levels to also normalise.
Inhibition of the HPTA is caused by either elevated androgen, oestrogen or progesterone levels.
On cessation of the steroid cycle, androgen levels begin to fall and Clomid dosing is normally commenced according to the half-life of the longest acting drug in the system (see below).
This may also explain the reason individuals often find post-deca recovery more difficult, as the progesterone presence is untouched by the Clomid.
We know that Clomid and Nolvadex (being very similar chemically) are both ineffective with regard to reducing progesterone related gyno, so it is reasonable to assume that Clomid has little effect against progesterone levels.
Clomid During A CycleWhen we use anabolic steroids, the level of androgens in the body rises causing the androgen receptors to become more highly activated, and through the HPTA, a signal tells our testes to stop producing testosterone.
During a cycle the body has far higher than normal levels of androgens and, as long as this level is high enough, Clomid will not help to keep natural testosterone production up.
It will be almost all but completely shut off, in theory.
Some heavy androgen users, however, do advocate a small burst of Clomid mid-cycle, though it must be hard for them to say if it really of any benefit, due to the amount of gear they are using.
Therefore, the only purpose of Clomid during a cycle is as an anti-estrogen.
When To Start ClomidThe correct time to commence Clomid depends on the type and cycle of steroids you have been using.
Different steroids have different half-lifes (indicates the time a substance diminishes in blood), and Clomid administration should be taken accordingly.
As we have seen above, Clomid taken when androgen levels in our blood are still high will be a waste.
It is crucial to wait for androgen levels to fall before implementing our Clomid therapy.
However, if taken too late we could possibly lose gains.
The list below determines when you should start Clomid.
Select from the list any steroids you've used in your cycle and whichever one has the latest starting point is the time to commence Clomid.
For example, if Dianabol, Sustanon and Winstrol were cycled, the time for administering Clomid should be 3 weeks post cycle, as Sustanon remains active in the body for the longest period of time.
How To Take ClomidClomid has a long half-life (possibly 5 days), so there is no need to split up doses throughout the day.
If Sustanon has been used and Clomid is commenced 3 weeks after the last injection, I would estimate that androgen levels are low enough to start sending the correct signals.
If androgen levels are still a little high, we need to start at a high enough amount that will work or help, even if androgen levels are still a little high.
How to take Nolvadex for PCTAs an alternative to Clomid, which has been reported to have led to unwanted side effects such as visual disturbances in some users, Nolvadex can be employed.
Nolvadex is a trade name for the drug Tamoxifen.
Like Clomid, the half life of Nolvadex is relatively long enabling the user to implement a single daily dosing schedule.
Administration would start as per the timescales outlined above and the duration would be identical to that of Clomid.
Occasionally, heavier cycles containing perhaps Nandrolone (Deca) or Trenbolone which by definition are particularly suppressive of the HPTA, may require a slightly longer therapy.
Some users like to use both Clomid and Nolvadex in their PCT in an attempt to cover all angles.
Of course, the examples provided are not set in stone and may be adjusted depending on the factors outlined above and individual variances.
Using HCGIt is our opinion that HCG is probably one of the most misunderstood and misused compounds in bodybuilding.
Hopefully this information will go some way towards rectifying that for the members of MuscleTalk.
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin and is not a steroid, but a natural peptide hormone which develops in the placenta of pregnant women during pregnancy to controls the mother's hormones.
Incidentally, this is the reason you may hear of people testing for growth hormone (HGH) with a pregnancy testing kit - If their HGH shows 'pregnant', they've been ripped-off with cheaper HCG - but we digress slightly).
Its action in the male body is like that of LH, stimulating the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone even in the absence of endogenous LH.
HCG is therefore used during longer or heavier steroid cycles to maintain testicular size and condition, or to bring atrophied (shrunken) testicles back up to their original condition in preparation for post-cycle Clomid therapy.
This process is necessary because atrophied testicles produce reduced levels of natural testosterone, this situation should be rectified prior to post-cycle Clomid therapy.
HCG administration post-cycle is common practice among bodybuilders in the belief that it will aid the natural testosterone recovery, but this theory is unfounded and also counterproductive.
HCG does not restore the natural testosterone production.
The typically observed dosing of 2000 to 5000IU every 4 to 5 days causes such an increase in oestrogen levels via aromatisation of the natural testosterone that this has been responsible for many cases of gynecomastia.
Avoid testicular atrophy, or2) Rectify the problem of an existing testicular atrophy.
Doses of HCGSmaller doses, more frequently during a cycle will give best overall results with least unwanted side effects.
Somewhere between 500IU and 1000IU per day would be best over about a two-week period.
This dosing schedule also avoids the risk of permanently down-regulating the LH receptors in the testes.
Also, a small daily dose (10-20mg) of Nolvadex would normally be used in conjunction with HCG in order to prevent oestrogenic symptoms caused by sudden increases in aromatisation.
Presentation and Administration of HCGSynthetic HCG is often known as Pregnyl (generic name) and is available in 2500iu and 5000iu (not ideal for the above doses!
Administration of the compound is either by intra-muscular or subcutaneous injection.
It comes as a powder which needs to be mixed with the sterile water.
The powder is temperature-sensitive prior to mixing and should not be exposed to direct heat.
After mixing, it should be kept refrigerated and used within a few weeks - though there are sterility issues which need to be considered after mixing.
Clomid is available in 50mg tablets most commonly, but also comes in 25mg capsule, often in boxes of 24 tablets.
Tamoxifen is made by a number of manufacturers and comes in 10mg or 20mg tablets, most commonly 30 x 20mg tablets.
HCG generally comes in kits of three ampoules of powder needing to be mixed with the provided injectable water as 1500IU, 2500IU or 5000IU per ampoule kits.

Infertility is the condition that is understood as the inability to conceive normally.
To provide much awaited relief to women suffering from this medical condition, the drug known as Clomid came to this world.
This infertility medication is chemically known as Clomiphene citrate.
Normal recommended dose is 59 mg to 200 mg, and taken for 5-9 days.
This medication is among the most inexpensive fertility drugs.
This fertility medication is easily taken orally rather than by injection and is the first line drug used for ovulation induction in patients with PCOS and other ovulatory disorders.
This medication is widely used for patients with luteal phase defect.
Clomid is a capable and complicated medication.
This medication reacts with all of the tissues in the body that have estrogen receptors, such as the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary, endometrium, vagina, and cervix.
This fertility medication influences the way that the four hormones required for ovulation, GnRH, FSH, LH and estradiol, relate and interrelate.
Up unti now no one has been able to understand the mechanisms by which this drug works.
It appears that Clomid fools the body into believing that the estrogen levels are low.
This altered feedback information causes the hypothalamus (an important part the brain) to make and release more gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which in turn causes the pituitary to make and release more FSH and LH.
It was observed that some women have virtually no side effects.
Possible side effects of Clomid may include mood swings, hot flashes, breast tenderness, and thinning of the uterine lining.
I am sure information shared here about one of the most talked subjects relating to female infertility and ovulation problems will definitely answer some of your questions about the subject.
Come and enjoy your life with sweet memories of becoming mother in company of Clomid.

If you've been having trouble conceiving, and your doctor has performed a thorough infertility work-up, there's a good chance that your doctor will recommend clomid if she believes your ovaries are not releasing eggs.
Clomid, which is taken in pill form, can help regulate your hormones so that your ovaries will release an egg.
In other words, clomid can help your body ovulate.
How clomid worksTypically, you'll start taking clomid about two to five days after your period starts, and continue to take it each day for about five days.
Your doctor will be monitoring you closely during this time to make sure that the medication is doing its work and causing you to ovulate.
Some doctors like to see their patients every day during this time.
As soon as your doctor has determined that you're ovulating, you'll stop taking the pill and should begin to have sex.
Most physicians recommend having sex every day at this point in your cycle.
But talk with your own doctor about the frequency of intercourse recommended for you.
You'll probably continue with the clomid for three to six menstrual cycles, unless, of course, you become pregnant.
How clomid can make you feelThere is a wide range of possible side effects from clomid, including dry cervical mucus, mild swelling of the ovaries, ovarian cysts, stomach pain, breast tenderness, trouble sleeping, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, headaches, fatigue, depression and weight gain.
Clomid affects each woman a little differently.
Elizabeth, 31, took clomid for four cycles.
When she was on the medication, she says that her symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) were a little worse than usual, and she felt moody.
I was really bloated and pretty uncomfortable.
Luckily, this feeling only lasted a few days mid-cycle.
The risk of multiple birthsYour chances of conceiving more than one child increase when you take clomid.
The percentage of the risk depends on the dose of clomid you take.
While the idea of having multiple births may be exciting to some people, it's important to understand that carrying even twins has a higher risk for miscarriage, premature birth and health complications.
Learn more about how fertility treatments increase the rate of multiple births.

Clomid dosage and side effects information.
The result is that in some tissues Clomid acts as an antagonist - the cofactor used in that tissue cannot bind and so the receptor remains inactive - and in others Clomid acts as an agonist (activator), because the cofactors used in that tissue are able to bind.
Clomid also has the property of reducing the adverse effect of exercise-induced damage of muscle tissue.
This is very significant for endurance athletes but is not very significant, if at all significant, with reasonable weight training.
Clomid does not perceptibly affect gains of the weight trainer either favorably or adversely in my experience.
The drug seems to have estrogenic effects on mood, which can be beneficial (improving relationships with women by improving empathy) or can yield depression or PMS-like symptoms, but for most users there is no significant effect either way.
The claim that duration of intake should not exceed 10-14 days is incorrect.
Clinical studies with male patients have been for periods of a year or longer.
This error probably originates from the fact that, for use in women, due to the menstrual cycle there would obviously be no point in trying to stimulate ovulation all four weeks of the month.
That limitation is not because of toxicity.
Clomid is in fact useful throughout a cycle if aromatizable drugs are being used.
In men however, the elevation in both follicle stimulating hormone and (primarily) luteinizing hormone will cause natural testosterone production to increase.
This effect is especially beneficial to the athlete at the conclusion of a steroid cycle when endogenous testosterone levels are depressed.
If endogenous testosterone levels are not brought beck to normal, a dramatic loss in size and strength is likely to occur once the anabolics have been removed.
This is due to the fact that without testosterone (or other androgens), the catabolic hormone cortisol becomes the dominant force affecting muscle protein synthesis (quickly bringing about a catabolic metabolism).
Often referred to as the post-steroid crash, it can quickly eat up much of your newly acquired muscle.
Clomid can play a crucial role in preventing this crash in athletic performance.
As for women, the only real use for Clomid is the possible management of endogenous estrogen levels near contest time.
This can increase fat loss and muscularity, particularly in female trouble areas such as this hips and thighs.
Clomid however often produces troubling side effects in women (discussed below), and is likewise not in very high demand among this group of athletes.
Male users generally find that a daily intake of 50-100 mg (1-2 tablets) over a four to six week period will bring testosterone production back to an acceptable level.
This raise in testosterone should occur slowly but evenly throughout the period of intake.
Since an immediate boost in testosterone is often desirable, many prefer to combine Clomid with HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) for the first week or two after the steroids have been removed.
The kick-start from HCG also helps to restore the normal ability for the testes to respond to endogenous LH, which may be hindered for some time after the cycle is ended due to a prolonged state of inactivity.
Once the HCG is stopped, the user continues treatment with Clomid alone.
HCG should not be used for longer than two or three weeks though, as the resulting increased testosterone and estrogen levels may again initiate negative feedback inhibition at the hypothalamus.
When planning your ancillary drug program, it is also important to remember that injectable steroids can stay active for a long duration.
Using ancillary drugs the first week after a long acting injectable like Sustanon has been stopped may prove to be wholly ineffective.
Instead, the athlete should wait for two to three weeks, to a point where androgen levels will be diminishing.
Here the body will be primed and ready to restore testosterone production.
Bodybuilders seldom report any problems, but listed possible side effects do include hot flashes, nausea, dizziness, headaches and temporarily blurred vision.
Such side effects usually only appear in females however, as they feel the effects of estrogen manipulation much more readily than men.
While female athletes can clearly gain some benefit from this substance, estrogen manipulation is probably not the most comfortable way to go about cutting up.
Should it still be used for such purposed and side effects do become pronounced, the drug of course is to be discontinued and (at least) a break taken from it.
Clomid and HCG are also occasionally used periodically during a steroid cycle, in an effort to prevent natural testosterone levels from diminishing.
Clomid is the anti-estrogen of choice for improving recovery of natural testosterone production after a cycle.

I have read several other threads about optimal PCT dosages for both Nolvadex and Clomid but no thread I have read talks about taking them together.
Since I now have found Clomid as well as Nolvadex in my pharmacy I have good stock of both.
Can I take them together or should I alternate between the 2 for different PCTs.
If I can take them together, what would be the optimal days, dosages etc?
They stop estrogen from forming in the first place.
They can spur test production by lowering estrogen levels.
Nolva is primarily to stop estrogen uptake by sensitive tissue during a cycle or mildly spur test production for PCT.
Nolva should be taken until estrogen and test levels fall to normal levels.
Clomid is better used to kick start test production after a cycle if you are shut down.
Usually only taken for a few days.
HGC is is a better kick start when necessary.
Mild cycles usually only require Nolva or 6-OXO.
High test cycles may well require Nolva during the cycle and Clomid after.
They should be taken together, Nolva prevents an estrogen rebound after a cycle and clomid gets natrual test production back to normal, ensuring you keep your gains.

Clomid and Nolvadex I am not sure how Clomid and Nolvadex became so separated in the minds of bodybuilders.
University of Ghent in Belgium make clear the advantages of using Nolvadex instead of Clomid for increasing testosterone levels (1).
The Estrogen Clomid The above discrepancies are likely explained by differences in the estrogenic nature of the two compounds.
ConclusionTo summarize the above research succinctly, Nolvadex is the more purely anti-estrogenic of the two drugs, at least where the HPTA (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular Axis) is concerned.
Uh, yeah, from what I understand he is pretty well respected in the supplement world.
William would probably have done a lot of research before writing the article.
A lot of money saved, Nolvadex is much cheaper.
Nice to see Nolva is an all-rounder, helping estrogen and test levels as well.
Stick to Nolvadex, not only is it cheaper, but the eyesight is the best organ, and I have read a few articles saying long term Clomid use causes irreversible eye damage.

Hear What Infertility Pioneer Dr.
Clomid was one of the first fertility medications and is the most prescribed.
Muasher always seeks to establish a cause of ovulatory dysfunction and document male fertility prior to beginning any treatment.
Clomid induces ovulation by competing for estrogen binding sites at the hypothalamus, a small gland located at the base of the brain.
The hypothalamus produces gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which stimulates the pituitary gland to manufacture follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
Clomid indirectly causes an increase in FSH through its effect on GnRH so ovulation can often be established.
Injectable FSH stimulates the ovaries directly and increasing the dose causes the development of multiple follicles.
Numerous clinical studies indicate that the greatest chance for pregnancy on Clomid occurs during the first three cycles.
Therapy beyond 3-6 cycles is rarely effective and can be counterproductive.
Most fertility specialists prescribe three cycles of Clomid before moving to the next step.
Clomid is used to induce ovulation and should not be used beyond 3-6 months.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) after stimulation with FSH is sometimes the second treatment step.
Fertility treatments are individualized for each couple and the one most likely to result in pregnancy is always chosen.
Our fertility specialist considers many factors such as the cause(s) of a couple's infertility, previous treatment history, response to medications, presence of male infertility, and many other factors.
Many of our fertility clinic patients live and work in New Orleans, LA but travel to Baton Rouge for treatment.

After dealing with infertility due to PCOS(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), many tests and 3 rounds of Clomid(medication used to induce ovulation) We are overjoyed to say that We are FINALLY pregnant!!!
What is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
Polycystic (pah-lee-SIS-tik) ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a health problem that can affect a woman's menstrual cycle, ability to have children, hormones, heart, blood vessels, and appearance.
With PCOS, women typically have:high levels of androgens (AN-druh-junz).
These are sometimes called male hormones, although females also make them.
Lack of ovulation is usually the reason for fertility problems in women with PCOS.
Several medications that stimulate ovulation can help women with PCOS become pregnant.
Even so, other reasons for infertility in both the woman and man should be ruled out before fertility medications are used.
Also, there is an increased risk for multiple births (twins, triplets) with fertility medications.
What tests are used to diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
There is no single test to diagnose PCOS.
Your doctor will take a medical history, perform a physical exam, and possibly take some tests to rule out other causes of your symptoms.
During the physical exam the doctor will want to measure your blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and waist size.
He or she also will check out the areas of increased hair growth, so try to allow the natural hair growth for a few days before the visit.
Your doctor might want to do a pelvic exam to see if your ovaries are enlarged or swollen by the increased number of small cysts.
A vaginal ultrasound also might be used to examine the ovaries for cysts and check out the endometrium, the lining of the uterus.
The uterine lining may become thicker if your periods are not regular.
You also might have blood taken to check your hormone levels and to measure glucose (sugar) levels.

I'd get an OPK and start using them around CD 10.
Keep using them until you get two days' worth of dark (as dark as the control line) lines.
BD both days you get the lines clomid and provera, and two days after.
That should give you plenty of time!

Buy Discount Clomidbuy tricor medicine A pivotal figure in contemporary documentary photography, Diane Arbus produced a substantial body of work before her suicide in 1971.
Arbus was born Diane Nemerox, to a wealthy family in New York City.
Her father owned a fashionable Fifth Avenue department store.
She was educated at the Ethical Culture School, a progressive institution.
At age 18 she married Allan Arbus and began to express an interest in photography.
Her father asked Diane and her husband to make advertising photographs for his store.
Between 1955 and 1957 Arbus studied under Lisette Model.
Model encouraged Arbus to concentrate on personal pictures and to further develop what Model recognized as a uniquely incisive documentary eye.
Soon after Arbus began her studies with Lisette Model, she began to devote herself fully to documenting transvestites, twins, midgets, people on the streets and in their homes, and asylum inmates.
Her subjects appear to be perfectly willing, if not eager, to reveal themselves and their flaws to her lens.
She was awarded Guggenheim Fellowships in 1963 and 1966 to continue her work.
In 1967 her work was mounted in the New Documents show at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, along with the work of two other influential, new photographers: Gary Winogrand and Lee Friedlander.
For the most part, the exhibition received extremely good reviews.
Her work was often compared with that of August Sander, whose Men Without Masks expressed similar concerns, although in a seemingly less ruthless manner.
In July 1971 Diane Arbus took her own life in Greenwich Village, New York.
Her death brought even more attention to her name and photographs.
In the following year Arbus became the first American photographer to be represented at the Venice Biennale.

Howard Nemerov, who served as United States Poet Laureate on two separate occasions.

When her husband began training as a photographer for the US Army, he shared his lessons with Diane.
As a husband-wife team, the Arbuses became successful in the fashion world.
As Diane began to take her own photographs, she took formal lessons with Lisette Model at The New School in New York.
The Family of Man, included a photograph credited to the couple.
Together the Arbuses had two daughters, photographer Amy Arbus and writer and art director Doon Arbus.
Allan and Diane Arbus had separated by 1959.

She also taught photography at The Parsons School for Design in NYC and Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Death In July 1971, Arbus committed suicide in Greenwich Village at the age of 48 by ingesting a large quantity of barbiturates and then slashing her wrists.
Legacy MoMA curator John Szarkowski prepared to stage a retrospective in 1972, but the accompanying Diane Arbus catalog proposal was turned down by all major publishing houses.
Hoffman accepted the challenge, producing an influential photography book.
The Aperture monograph has since been reprinted 12 times, selling more than 100,000 copies.
The MoMA retrospective traveled throughout North America attracting more than 7 million viewers.
Also in 1972, Arbus became the first American photographer to be represented at the Venice Biennale.

Bono wrote an op-ed in NYT on the 2nd of January, 2010.
So when you in your list item entitled "Intellectual Property Developers" urge, what seems to be, lawmakers to regulate global piracy, you are not living like Frank Sinatra told you to, if you want to be modern.
Many will expect to get it free.
Even though I think you already know (I mean, seriously, you can't be that gullible), I'll try to be really helpful and try to explain why this might be.
Many will expect to get it for free, because it's cheaper, easier, and infinitely more convenient for many, to download it illegally, than it is to get it, and pay for it, legally.
I can already download an entire season of 24, maybe not in 24 seconds, but possible in 2.
Man, that's deep, really illustrates time-space compression).
Buying means I have to leave the house, or purchase it online, and wait for it to get delivered to me.
I don't get this, isn't this basic economics?
The transaction costs associated with purchasing a legal version are now so much higher than downloading it illegally.
You refer to China as a good example of how to track content.
A place where the state hires people to write pro-governmental propaganda on public forums?
A place where journalists are arrested and sentenced for speaking their minds about the government?
Bono, take a step to the side, I believe you are standing on your balls.
Thing is, I wouldn't mind paying for it, if I could get it conveniently, and instantly.
I would imagine many people share this view.
But instead of making that option available, the industry insists on being backwards and incompetent by incriminating anybody who would like to own their content quickly and easily.
Normally, when there's a high demand for something, eventually somebody will say "hey, I bet we could make money from this".
Unfortunately, nobody has figured this out in the industry yet, and what you should be doing with your influence is to set an example, and urge the industry to get their head out of their derrieres, and realize that disruptive technologies disrupt business models.
Their business model is currently non-functional in the longer term, but instead of realizing that, and trying to mitigate it, and listen to their consumers, they are behaving like the newspapers, and you, asking for the government to regulate it.
Get a helmet Bono, and tighten it real carefully, because I'm afraid this ride only just started.
I recently had a very lively discussion with a couple of friends about how we would like our films delivered in the future.
A subscription service for, say, Universal Films catalogue.
Everything they ever made, streaming, to your device of choice, at any time of the day.
How much would you be willing to pay pr.
Am I being completely naive, thinking that there's actually quite a large amount of people who would be interested in paying such a subscription?
Considering the hype surrounding Spotify in 2009, I would imagine a similar service for movies would be equally hyped.
Tie it up with some nice IMDB data, possible their recommendation engine, and you'd be gunning for a pretty sweet deal I think.
Would advertisers like it though?
What makes this clip worth it all is at 0:17, where Stevie removes the tube from his mouth to smile at how funky that shit he's playing is.
If I could be just half as cool as drummer James Gadson on that first pan of the camera, life would be all sunshine.
Bill Withers first album featured the fine group of gentlemen you see in this clip (James Gadson on drums, Benorce Blackmon on guitar, and bassist Melvin Dunlap).
They were also part of The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, whose fine contribution to music made it possible for NWA to sample their track "Express Yourself" for their hit track in 1988 with the same name.
Of course, their videos are just as weird as themselves.
Go trainers, role playing, and sweat bands!
Instantly made me think of this.
It was good, and I fell in love.
No wonder this country produced all these beautiful kinds of music.
I got high on the intake of pão de queijo, açai-drinks, and meat fests.
Spent some time in Rio de Janeiro, the most violent city in the world, with 5000 murders committed just last year.
You'd think that spending a week in a city like that would confront you with some of that ugliness seeping through the cracks somewhere.
But for 168 hours I didn't see any of this ugliness.
Mind you, I didn't look for it either.
Reading this article in the Guardian upon returning makes you feel like YADT (Yet Another Dumb Tourist), who only helps maintain a status quo of the social situation.
FYI, I did not purchase any illicit favors, or get high on South American drugs, but that doesn't make you feel any less of a tourist ass.
Also spend time not in Rio de Janeiro.
Equally "espectacular", but that's another post.
Is this one of the sexiests tracks ever or what?
Jennifer Charles, need I say more?
How to buy tickets from irishrail.
In case you are an annoyed non-Windows user of the Irish Rail website, here's a little guide on how to purchase tickets using Firefox.
Change the user-agent string to Internet Explorer 6.
Notice how clicking 'Purchase' doesn't give you an error message?
I've been buying tickets from Irish Rail for the last two weekends.
The first time around I tried three times to purchase the tickets online, but was met with this error screen every time I clicked the 'Purchase'-button at the end of my reservation.
I was using the recommended software for the platform (Firefox 3.

Could Irish Rail really be checking the User-Agent string at the very last step of the purchasing process, to give me the error message?

Be informed regardless of which one you use.
Vitex Information - Vitex has been used holistically for many years to balance the female hormones of estrogen and progesterone.
It eases symptoms of PMS, menopause, perimenopause, and menstruation.
It has been reported to aid fertility in women by increasing progesterone in particular.
Many women suffering from LPD (luteal phase defect) may gain particular benefit.
Members have reported reduction in breast tenderness and acne while on vitex.
Vitex Dosage - Dosages are included in each recipe.
If you have a different brand or potency, please refer to the label directions.
Things to Avoid: Do not take vitex with clomid or any other fertility drug.
They can counteract each other.
When to Take Vitex - There are two schools of thought about taking vitex.
One says to not take it during pregnancy so vitex is stopped at ovulation.
The other theory says that vitex needs to build up in your system to really work and stopping at ovulation doesn't allow it to build up enough to work.
So, vitex is stopped when there is a positive HPT.
Our members have reported both methods as working and some of those beautiful children are the result of their mommies using one of these recipes.
Possible Side Effects: While many sources report no side effects with vitex we have heard a few things on our forums.
Headaches - Some have reported headaches that disappeared when vitex was stopped.
Cysts - Some have reported an increase in ovarian cysts.
This makes sense as clomid also can potentially cause cysts.
B6 is taken to help improve mucus quality and quantity.
It is safe to take B6 as it is a water soluble vitamin and passes through your system.
Some people have experienced numbness or tingling of the hands or arms while on higher doses.
If you experience this, stop taking B6 or lower your dosage to something you can tolerate.
B Compex is taken to aid in the absorption of B6 and the two should be taken together.
Taking a timed release B complex also gives benefits throughout the day.
Robitussin is taken to help with mucus quality.
It thins out the mucus in the body, making it easier for the sperm to travel.
Some women like to take robi all cycle long and some only take around ovulation.
This is a matter of preference and how you think your body reacts to it.

Golden Globes Web Ready Kimmel Savages Leno On Jay's Show 'Now See This...
If Lora and Ryan Jacobson didn't want to spend holidays with you or see pictures of your children, don't take it personally.
It's likely you didn't understand what they were going through.
The Jacobsons had tried for a year to get pregnant on their own.
When that didn't work, they turned to infertility treatments.
The lack of success going that route led to Lora pulling away from many friends and family.
Women's Health "Those relationships and those bridges will never be built the same way.
They didn't mean to pull away, and I didn't mean to pull away, but I didn't want to be around those people talking about their kids," Lora said.
I realize a lot of burned bridges were my fault, but it was my only way of coping.
Carol Kowalczyk of the Michigan Center For Fertility and Women's Health in Warren, Mich.
Two things are happening: Couples are getting older and waiting to have kids when they are more established professionally, and with getting older, there is more exposure to medical (and) environmental factors that have an impact, as well as lifestyle habits," Kowalczyk said.
Depending on the age, infertility affects 1-in-4 to 1-in-6 couples.
Deb Brown, a registered nurse with Obstetrics, Gynecology and Infertility in Minneapolis, said that medical advances have also led to more people looking for help, and that the innovations have also kept up with demand.
Doctors Being ProactiveKowalczyk doesn't treat patients until after their regular physician has referred them to her, and she sends the patients back to their physicians after they get pregnant.
She said that more primary care physicians are acknowledging infertility, which is a positive change.
They are educating their patients and doing more appropriate intervention earlier," she said.
They are guiding patients to specialists earlier after what they're able to do doesn't work.
Kowalczyk said the standard definition of infertility is the inability to conceive after one year of trying.
For patients older than 35, the standard is 6 months.
After 40, she said, they should be seen "yesterday.
First StepsBrown said that at her practice, physicians usually start with Clomid.
According to WebMD, Clomid is an oral drug that stimulates an increase in the amount of hormones that support the growth and release of a mature egg.
One of the side effects of Clomid, which Lora said affects her to this day, is problems with night vision.
Along the way, the doctors would say to me, 'It's not a matter of if, but when,'" she would get pregnant, Lora said.
I just figured it would be fine, but I would baffle them because I would get the worst reaction to drugs.
Next StepsBoth Brown and Kowalczyk recommended injection medications, but the ones Lora was giving herself didn't help and put her at risk.
Both practitioners also said a laparoscopic surgical procedure could be conducted to rule out problems such as endometriosis, which is when the tissue that lines the uterus, grows outside the organ and attaches to other organs in the abdominal cavity.
The scar tissue can block the fallopian tubes or interfere with ovulation.
Doctors also may want to check into the health of the prospective father.
If you look at the literature, (men) account for 30 to 40 percent (of infertility cases)," Kowalczyk said.
We definitely need a sperm analysis, which doesn't catch people off guard any more because the obstetrician is notifying the patients.
Cost A FactorLora said that any treatments beyond injections, such as in-vitro fertilization or sperm implantation, were too expensive for them.
For the most part, insurances usually cover 80 percent, but the cost is definitely prohibitive when patients move on to IVF," Brown said.
Kowalczyk said that she's seeing more insurance companies cover a portion of the infertility process, especially the more expensive options.
What I recommend to patients is to look through your plan, and when you have choices and options, look at what covers fertility the best," she said.
The patient needs to educate themselves with the options every year (at open enrollment) when they're going through the process.
Emotional TollAll the advances in technology and treatment don't add up to a 100 percent success rate, however.
After nine months of infertility treatments, Lora said that her body and her emotions couldn't take any more, so the treatments were stopped.
Kowalczyk said that she sees a range of emotions when people come to see her.
Some (see) a fertility specialist and are recharged, others dismayed," said Kowalczyk, who added her office has counselors on staff to handle the emotional well-being of the patients.
Most centers have counselors on their team so that they can be supportive of patients in this trying time.
Most patients don't feel comfortable talking about infertility at a cocktail party.
The counselors can provide stress management techniques to use with each other," she said.
She added that all good specialists keep an eye on where patients are emotionally.
Final StepThe Jacobsons were present for the birth of their adopted son Jonah on June 4, 2006.
Things are wonderful with Jonah," Lora said.
Looking back at all those things, I think a part of me will never heal, but I would do it all over again for Jonah.
He's our perfect baby, and he didn't have to come from us to be that.
All I know is that (infertility is) a silent killer of women.
I felt like I was hurting all the time and people would have no idea.
I know that there are women all over feeling the same way.

For good occasionally ovulation is established, there is no perks to increasing the dosage supplementary .

Clomid: The Cure-All of Infertility?
Also called clomiphene citrate and is prescribed under the brand names Clomid and Serophene, Clomid being the most popular name.
For future references in this article I will refer to the drug as Clomid.
Clomid is a drug that helps women to ovulate.
Not ovulating in one of the main reasons of infertility.
Clomid is probably one of the number one prescribed drugs for women suffering infertility.
There are several different reasons that Clomid may be prescribed.
This is simply a hormone deficiency.
Clomid is basically structured like estrogen, in that it prompts the estrogen receptors of the body to promote the release of the hormones necessary to bring on ovulation, the release of a mature egg from the ovary.
Clomid helps the follicles to reach maturity and thus enables ovulation.
The occurrence of multiples while taking Clomid is higher than if taking nothing for conception.
If a woman ovulates irregularly, the use of Clomid may help to increase the likelihood of conception by regulating the reproductive cycle.
Doctors will prescribe Clomid for women who are either anovulatory or who have irregular cycles, if they have not gotten pregnant by a certain time.
Some doctors like to see a couple try to conceive for several months up to a year or longer before trying to diagnose and treat possible infertility.
If a woman has a luteal phase (the time from ovulation to menstruation) of ten days or less, Clomid may be prescribed.
It is thought to help with the post ovulation cycle, helping to increase the production of progesterone which helps to lengthen and maintain the luteal phase.
If the luteal phase is too short, an early miscarriage may result.
Side-effects sometimes merit not taking the drug.
Because Clomid acts to prompt the hormone receptors of the body, side-effects that are experienced are similar to those of other artificial hormones such as birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy.
Hot-flashes, migraine headaches, bloating, weight gain are a few of the side-effects.
Clomid should only be taken as directed by a physician and only for a short period of time.
To increase the chance of ovulation and to forego the risks and side-effects of fertility drugs such as Clomid, there are other natural remedies that are worth attempting.
First thing is to chart the fertility signs.
This will pinpoint ovulation, and will alert to any potential fertility problems.
Vitamin B6, Evening Primrose Oil, Vitex (Chastetree Berry) are a few of the natural supplements that help to promote ovulation.
Only the vitamin B6 should be taken all cycle, the others should only be taken before ovulation.
Natural progesterone cream can be used after ovulation to help lengthen the luteal phase and to help maintain a pregnancy.

Esters:Much more than just half-life...
I'm sorry, I should haveincluded some moreinformation with myquestion regarding abeginner cutting cycle.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a substance that, in the human body, mimics Leutenizing Hormone (LH).
LH is secreted by your body, and its secretion then signals the body to begin releasing testosterone.
HCG is typically employed by steroid-using athletes to bring back some naturally produced testosterone into their bodies.
However, HCG is clinically used both to induce ovulation and treat certain ovarian disorders in women.
In men is utilized to stimulate the testes in hypogonadal men (men who are not producing testosterone).
It has also shown promise in the treatment of undescended testicles in young males.
The action of HCG in males is very similar to that of LH, because they are chemically similar and since LH binds to receptors on human Leydig cells, we see a similar mechanism of action with HCG.
Once it binds and begins to stimulate the receptors on the Leydig cells, it begins to trigger the synthesis and secretion of testosterone.
Thus, it is possible that HCG use can cause Leydig cell desensitization.
HCG use, and neither are very new.
In fact, both have been around since the earliest books on underground steroid use, and were spoken about more than a decade ago by Dan Duchaine (Underground Steroid Handbook) and also by W.
Nathaniel Phillips (Anabolic Reference Guide volumes 1-6).
When used on a cycle sparingly, HCG helps to maintain testicular size and condition but it is speculated that the intermittent administration of HCG will keep the testicles receptive to LH, when we eventually go off a cycle.
Inter-Testicular-Testosterone (ITT), when used during a cycle.
This could aid and quicken your recovery of the hypothalamic-testicular-pituitary-axis.
When used after a cycle, it will still help in restoring your testicles back to their original size, and provide stimulation for the Leydig cells.
HCG every third week at a one time dose (perhaps) 500iu or so, and then use it at that same dose for a daily schedule at the outset of your Post Cycle Therapy.
Interestingly, one study I looked at showed that by using Vitamin E along with HCG, a greater blood plasma testosterone elevation.
HCG- 1,000iu of Vitamin E should be plenty.
Another welcome addition to use of HCG is Nolvadex.
Nolvadex in conjunction with HCG seems to make the chance of any inhibition of the HPTA very unlikely.
Anabolic Steroids, although gynocomastia (development of breast tissue in males) seems to be the most probable, though still uncommon.

Recent Updates: Since this article was written, a new product designed specifically for trying-to-conceive women (called "FertileCM") has been introduced to encourage the production of "fertile-quality" cervical mucus.
FertileCM can be purchased at Early-Pregnancy-Tests.
To learn more about how Guaifenesin compares to FertileCM, click here.
Additionally, a product called "Pre-Seed" has been introduced to help address issues relating to dryness while trying to conceive.
Pre-Seed is the only "sperm friendly" lubricant on the market, and as such, is the only lubricant that should be used while trying to conceive.
At first most people wonder what on earth a cough syrup has to do with fertility, but the logic is easily found in the fact that it is an expectorant and is being used to loosen and thin mucus - just in a different place than the lungs!
The name Robitussin was used in the title of this FAQ as it is a common brand of cough syrup in the United States.
It is used on the fertility boards and newsgroups in the same manner as saying Band-Aid for an adhesive strip used to cover a cut.
Any expectorant that contains guaifenesin as the only active ingredient is fine to use.
What kind of Robitussin is used to improve cervical mucus?
One should buy the plain kind with no letters after it.
The only active ingredient is guaifenesin, and it contains 100 mg per teaspoon.
It is very important to avoid the versions that contain decongestants as those may dry up cervical mucus.
Also, there is some conflicting information about whether dextromethorphan, the DM in some cough medicine names, may be linked to birth defects such as neural tube defects and cleft palate.
Do I need to use the brand Robitussin?
Robitussin is the most common brand name, at least in the U.
As long as the only active ingredient is guaifenesin, you can use any variety you find.
For those with diabetes or otherwise concerned about sugar intake, there is the brand Diabetic Tussin available.
What is the recommended dose of guaifenesin?
The recommended dose for improving cervical mucus, based on a 1982 article in Fertility and Sterility, is two teaspoons (200 mg) taken orally three times per day.
If mucus still appears thick and doesn't have good spinnbarkeit (ability to stretch), one can take as much as four teaspoons (400 mg) four times per day (the maximum dose on this over the counter medication).
Each dose should be taken with a full glass of water, and attention should be given to drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day -- one needs water to produce mucus.
What cycle days should one take guaifenesin?
Just as the dose can vary a bit, so can the days.
The article linked above had patients starting the guaifenesin on cycle day 5 - five days after the start of menses.
This seems rather early as mucus is not an issue until about five days before ovulation - based on the fact that sperm can only live five days at best, and most pregnancies are the result of intercourse in the five days leading up to ovulation.
Because of this information, it is now more common for doctors to suggest starting guaifenesin about five days before expected ovulation and continuing through ovulation day (six days total, for those with regular cycles).
For those with irregular cycles, one should start taking guaifenesin about five days before the earliest day ovulation might be expected.
For those taking Clomid (clomiphene citrate, Serophene) in a 5-day protocol, one can probably wait until the day after the last Clomid pill before starting the expectorant.
Is guaifenesin available in pill form?
Yes, but in most cases a prescription is needed.
Guaifenesin CR, or brands Humibid LA, and Fenesin.
This is often less expensive than the liquid.
Another brand that is available OTC is Mucinex, though it probably is not a cost savings.
Many women try taking guaifenesin after noting little or no egg white (stretchy) cervical mucus while charting their fertility signals, but clinically it is diagnosed when a doctor checks mucus one or two days before ovulation in what is usually referred to as a post-coital test.
The doctor does a vaginal exam and takes a sample of mucus to immediately analyze under a microscope to check for live sperm and for a ferning pattern.
It is also checked for signs of infection.
Quality mucus will be stretchy, fern, lack cellularity, and have live sperm swimming in it.
Why do so many women take guaifenesin while on Clomid?
Clomid (clomiphene citrate, Serophene) can cause hostile mucus in 30 percent or more of women using it.
Higher doses tend to be more associated with less cervical fluid and a thinner uterine lining, than the 50 mg dose.
Will guaifenesin help if there is little or no mucus present?
Guaifenesin doesn't actually create mucus, it only thins what is already there.
One would need to look into why there is no mucus (infection, not really ovulating), or bypass the mucus issue by doing intrauterine insemination.
Does one need to take guaifenesin when doing intrauterine insemination (IUI)?
It would only make sense to take guaifenesin if one is planning to have intercourse in addition to doing IUI.
Those doing donor insemination, for example, wouldn't benefit.
Will taking guaifenesin cause any problems if it isn't needed?
Since fertile mucus can be watery, there is probably no harm in taking guaifenesin and thinning it out.
What are some other possible ways to improve cervical mucus?
Drinking plenty of water should always be considered in addition to any other therapies one might try.
Estrogen is sometimes given to help mucus production, though doctors have mixed opinions of its benefit, especially when used with Clomid (and some suggest using Tamoxifen instead of Clomid).
Injectable gonadotropins used for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation often have a positive effect on cervical mucus as well.
Another suggestion that is increasing in popularity is to drink grapefruit juice in order to improve or increase the amount of cervical mucus.
If one is on prescription medications, it is a good idea to look for warning about grapefruit juice consumption (it isn't recommended with several medications for hypertension, for example).
Can lubricants be used in place of CM?
Lubricants aid in intercourse, but not in sperm travel through the cervix.
Most over the counter lubricants are not "sperm friendly" -- meaning that using them is likely to kill off some sperm.
In most cases, one needs to weigh the benefits against the risks .
That said, there are some friendlier options out there.
One is FemGlide, a lubricant you can get from your doctor.
You can buy the same product marketed as Slippery Stuff (apparently more available at stores that sell sexual aids than at pharmacies and such).
There is also a more recently introduced product called Pre-Seed from Bio-Origyn.
Another option discussed on many fertility boards is using raw egg whites at room temperature.
There may be some risk of salmonella exposure with egg whites, so some suggest using pasteurized egg whites available in the grocery store.
With any lubricant, it is generally best to use as little as possible.
Does guaifenesin do anything for male factor infertility?
It is possible that men with thick semen may benefit from guaifenesin in the same manner it helps with cervical mucus in women.
The suggested doses on the newsgroups and fertility boards range from two teaspoons twice per day to four teaspoons four times per day.

It is by far one of the most effective tools in achieving maximum muscle and strength gains in the shortest time possible.
Proper testosterone usage will blast you past your natural limitations.
But in all its greatness, testosterone does have some serious side effects.
These side effects are avoidable!
There are so many myths about testosterone that it has taken me over 2 months to start writing this article.
Every time I think of starting, I get so frustrated at the media-induced paranoia against steroids.
But I have finally decided that it is well worth my time to educate the open-minded people out there.
As for the ignorant ones, I couldn't care less what they have to say!
The first myth is that testosterone supplementation leads to steroid-induced bouts of rage, better known as "roid-rage.
I do not know how this rumor surfaced.
I believe that it may have to do with football players, who were taught that violence is good, losing control.
Testosterone has an effect on endorphin levels.
EVERYONE I know that has used testosterone says that it brings about a general feeling of wellbeing.
I can attest to this personally.
There is no such thing as "roid-rage.
If there is an asshole inside you, sure testosterone may bring it out even more.
But it does not turn otherwise normal people into raging psychopaths.
The second myth I would like to address is the one that states "Steroids shrink your dick.
I would think so if it were not for the many people I have heard say this in seriousness.
How could steroids possibly shrink your penis?
I can not even imagine a possible way that testosterone supplementation would bring about penile shrinkage.
This rumor was probably started over a misunderstanding.
Testosterone usage will cause testicular shrinkage.
But this is so easily avoidable that it should never happen to anyone with half a brain cell.
I will discuss prevention of testicular shutdown in further detail later in this article.
Proper testosterone usage can yield amazing results.
In a 3 month period, a first time steroid user can expect to gain 30-50 pounds.
Once steroid usage has ceased, he may lose 10-15 pounds of water-weight, but should retain all the muscle gain.
The rumor that all gains made on steroids will go away once you stop using it is utterly false!
If you choose to allow you testicles to shutdown and stop testosterone supplementation without a taper, sure you'll lose a lot of the gains.
But the fact remains, if you are properly educated in the use of testosterone, you should be able to gain a lot of muscle with minimal to almost non-existent side effects and keep most of those gains.
The first step in assessing whether or not testosterone is the steroid for you is taking a look at your goals.
If your goal is maximum fat-loss with no interest in muscle gain, then testosterone is not for you.
I will address the proper steroids for such a cycle in another article.
Now if your goal is to gain as much muscle and strength as possible, then testosterone is for you.
After you have decided that you would like to supplement testosterone, the next step is choosing which form of testosterone you'd like to use.
Testosterone is almost never found in pure form.
Most of the time, some ester or another has been added to it.
The purpose is to avoid a sudden rush of testosterone in your system.
Esters will let the testosterone get absorbed in a time-released manner.
There are many forms of testosterone to choose from.
Testosterone Propionate will hit your system in 2-3 days.
Testosterone Suspension (which has no ester) will hit your system in 1 day.
Testosterone Enanthate will take about 10 days.
Sustanon (a blend of 4 different testosterones) will remain active in your system for periods of up to 4 weeks.
The general rule is the faster acting a testosterone is, the more side effects you will experience from its use.
So the goal is to find a testosterone that doesn't hit your system so fast that most of it is rapidly converted to estrogen and DHT while at the same time choosing a testosterone that is not so long acting that it will be hard to control.
I suggest Testosterone Enanthate.
The next step is to find a reliable brand of testosterone.
There are many brands out there.
Since it is impossible to test all brands and their subsequent batches, we have to go by personal experiences.
One of the most unreliable brand names of testosterone is T200.
Both Tornel and Brovel Labs in Mexico make T200.
The Brovel version seems to be even worse that the Tornel.
Users of T200 usually experience greater amounts of acne and balding.
It has also been rumored that T200 has other additives such as estradiol and DHT.
T200 is also grossly underdosed and a very "dirty" (bacteria and foreign substance wise) brand!
One person I know even found a pubic hair in his Brovel T200 vial!!!
Whenever you hear someone saying that he needs at least 1000 mg of testosterone to see good results, chances are he is on T200.
T200 is probably only 500mg of testosterone enanthate!
The most potent brands of testosterone out there are the Pakistani Sustanons and the Australian testosterone enanthate bladders.
Next, you'll have to decide what type of doses you are going to be taking.
For a beginner using a good quality testosterone, I suggest 500mg a week.
Now if that were all you would be doing, you most certainly will experience some side effects.
Side effects usually are a result of the two paths testosterone can take once it hits your system.
The first path testosterone could take would be if 5alpha reductase turns it into DHT.
Even though DHT has some beneficial effects on muscle gain, it is highly androgenic.
DHT is the main cause of steroid's two biggest side effects: balding and enlargement of the prostate (i.
You know enough about balding, so I won't explain why you don't want it.
Basically, DHT binds to the hair follicle in your head.
It causes an inflammation that in turn starves your hair of oxygen.
Having an enlarged prostate is definitely something you want to avoid.
The frequent need to urinate aside, DHT has been shown to dramatically increase your chances of getting prostate cancer.
Finasteride (also known by the brand names of Proscar and Propecia) has been shown to inhibit 5alpha reductase from converting testosterone to DHT.
Research has shown it to be highly effective in treating and preventing baldness and prostate enlargement.
I suggest you use the brand name Fincar.
Even though it contains the exact same chemical as Proscar (5mg of finasteride), its cost is significantly less than that of Proscar.
If you have a 5mg tablet, that means using one quarter tablet a day.
Prolonged use has shown no adverse side effects in most subjects.
I also suggest using Nizoral shampoo.
Research has shown that it may prevent balding.
It also causes no noted negative side effects except a possible dryness of the hair.
The next path that testosterone could take would be if it aromatizes into estrogen.
Estrogen can cause the development of gynocomastia (also known as gyno).
Gynocomastia is an often seen steroid side effect.
It is the irreversible development of breasts in a male subject.
Although it is harmless in nature, and very small, it often causes an immense amount of mental anguish in the subject.
Estrogen also causes increased water retention, bloat, and an increased rate of fat gain.
Getting rid of estrogen is very easy.
I suggest the use of an anti-aromatase (i.
Arimidex is number one on my list of anti-aromatases.
Arimidex is the brand name for anastrozole.
I suggest using one-eighth to one quarter of a mg of anastrozole per day per 500mg of testosterone that you use.
That equates to using a quarter of a tablet every other day or every day.
Anastrozole has been shown in countless research to cut down estrogen production by up to 90%.
Prolonged use has been shown to be extremely safe.
Another side effect of testosterone supplementation is testicular shutdown.
The body senses all of the excess testosterone in your system and decides to stop producing its own.
This causes your testicles to shrink and your sperm count to decrease significantly.
The use of clomiphine citrate (more commonly known as clomid) can prevent this from happening.
Clomid stimulates your body to keep producing its own testosterone.
That way, testicular shutdown never comes about.
Even though testicular shutdown is completely reversible once steroid use has ceased, it is a good idea to prevent it from ever happening.
Once you stop using steroids, your body will start producing its own testosterone again.
But this can take up to a month to happen.
During that month, you will have significantly reduced amounts of testosterone in you system.
Thus, you will most likely lose much of your gains once you stop using testosterone.
To prevent testicular shutdown, I suggest using clomiphine citrate (AKA Clomid).
I recommend 25mg of clomid per day per 500mg of testosterone you use.
Since clomid most often comes in 50mg tablets, that would equate to one tablet every other day.
If you are using 1000mg of testosterone, that equates to 1 tablet a day.
Clomid has been shown extremely safe in many laboratory tests and medical research.
Another side effect of testosterone supplementation is an increase in your cholesterol levels.
That is why I suggest you follow a low-cholesterol diet when on testosterone.
Most of the time you hear about someone having a heart attack because of steroid use, it is most likely due to the fact that the person refused to give up a high cholesterol diet when on steroids.
I also suggest getting your blood work done on your first cycle.
Personally, my cholesterol level went up from 170 to 200 when on a cycle.
I did not stop eating junk food.
In fact, I ate a lot more junk food.
So personally, testosterone does not affect my cholesterol levels all that much.
But you have to find out if it affects you for yourself.
If it does, no big deal , just fix up your diet a little.
Testosterone supplementation also has an effect on your sebaceous glands.
Your sebaceous glands are located in your skin.
Their main responsibility is to produce oil.
Testosterone enlarges this gland and cause the production of excess body oil.
This in turn leads to acne, which can occur on your back and chest.
If you experience this side effect, it is very easy to reverse.
Taking 2 showers a day is your first step.
Next, tan once or twice a week.
If it is summer, go to the beach and swim in the ocean every so often.
If it is winter, take a bath using 2 cups of Epson salt and .
People often get confused about training and dieting while on testosterone.
First, to facilitate all the extra muscle building, it is strongly suggested that you increase daily caloric intake by around 2000 calories.
Training should remain relatively unchanged.
You may increase sets per body part by 2 additional sets per week.
Sleep is another important factor.
If you train, eat, and sleep right, you should expect to gain anywhere from 20-40 pounds off this cycle.
About 5-10 pounds will be water, so don't be alarmed when you start losing the water at the end of your cycle.
I'd say water gain would make up approximately 10% of you overall weight gain.
If you choose not to use an anti-aromatase, expect much more water gain, which will in turn cause greater overall weight gain.
If you have any more questions, feel free to email me at any time.
Almost forgot, take as much time off between cycles as you are on.
In other words, if you do a 12 weeks cycle (12 weeks of actual testosterone), then you should take 12 weeks off before your next cycle.

Looking to talk with anyone who is currently on a clomid regimen.
I conceived my first child after one cyle of Clomid.
I had been trying for two years prior to that.
I now have been trying for almost one year to conceive my second child.
I start my clomid the end of August.
Anybody out there have any success stories or are currently on a clomid regimen or about to begin?
Hi there, I have recently been on clomid - I took a single course - 25 July 2003.
I don't really want to have a test done yet, I am scared of being dissapointed so I am going to try and stick it out until Friday.
Do you have any of these symptoms?
I start my Clomid the last week of August.
As far as how did I feel the first time on Clomid?
It felt just like AF was coming...
I hope you have a BFP this friday.
I had when the cyst burst I was 9 days late took a ept test that night was pos after that is when I had the pain on my left side.
Couple hours later started bleeding it sucked had to go to the emergency room and that when I found out I was pregnant through blood work pregnant but barley.
A couple of days later I got more blood work done to see if the number would fall or rise.
They decreased to saying I was not pregnant anymore.
I am sorry to hear of all the terrible stuff you have been through.
I will send some baby dust your way and say a little prayer.

Hello, I'm starting my 1st cycle of Clomid tomorrow morning (Day 5 of cycle through Day 9) and I totally blanked on when to time BD per my Dr's instructions.
ETA: I usually O anywhere from Day 15-19 so would Clomid affect my O date?
Depends on when you ovulate, which doesn't depend on whether or not you're taking Clomid, but really upon your body.
Some women ovulate earlier on Clomid, some later, some at the same time as normal.
If OPKs are how you normally figure that out, I'd suggest starting them on the day recommended by the package instructions.
However: Is your doc monitoring you on Clomid?
Consider calling and asking about that.
IS monitoring you, then the doctor with the help of the ultrasounds should be able to help you time intercourse.
BDing every other day starting on Day 10.
I think you have to wait 3 days after taking the last pill before you can use an OPK because it may give you a false positive before then.
