Re: Clomid/Clomiphene for Men

[Guest guest]

Exactly what " nasty side effect " are you reffering too? I've been on it for

almost 6 and haven't seen any. I do HCG too and I am NOT infertle.

Anabolic steriod users use Clomd all the time to restart after a cycle, they

also HCG about as often.

Good luck with it , it's certainly worth a try.

find quite a bit.

I took Clomid and it did raise my testerone and for a few weeks I had normal

sexual function but it id not cure me. Definately recomend using it to raise T.

Long term TRT from what I have read can cause infertility. It also sucks

because its a life long therapy. I am only 27 and really want to reboot, not

just medicate. We'll see.

Is there a reason you only took it for a few weeks if you saw these benefits? In

the studies I read they prescribed it for 4 months.

I have been taken it for months on and off. The best results are about a week

after starting taking the drug and then it only last a few weeks. Recently

though I have had an increase in sexual activity but I am not sure what to

attribute it too. Perhaps extended use has benefits but I will not make that

leap yet.
