How Clomid effects YOU?

[smalls]

TweetAlright, I was planning on running my clomid in the pretty traditional manner of 300mgs day one then 100mgs for 10 days and 50 mgs for 10 days. I then came across the opinion that for a first cycle (which mine will be) you would be better running it at 100mgs for one week then 50mgs for two weeks, because clomid can have damaging effects on eyesight among other things as well as the psychological effects it has on people.

So how does clomid effect you and those you know personally and how would you suggest running it for a first cycle. I feel that I will do the more conservative method my first run.

TweetNot too sure about the eyesight problems cause that i never noticed that but the emotions, well lets just say that you will see what its like to be a woman. It was an emotional rollercoaster for the first 2 weeks for me. It didn't make me mean it made me more like a cryier, was weird i dreed going back on that.

TweetLoL...The emotional sides can be good for your relationships.

Clomid can accentuate symptoms of depression, if you're prone to it.

Never experienced the eyesight problems or the dreaded acne ppl claim they get from clomid.

TweetMy friend had tracers while on clomid. I do fine, get a little too in touch with my feminine side though.

Tweetits not the clomid itself-its the resulting hormone imbalance.I've had success with .5mg liquidex EOD and maca through and 2 weeks past finished clomid-just my opinion

TweetI have to say that i absolutely DREAD clomid theropy!! Hate it! Thats why i figure i might as well just stay on all the time!!

TweetI think it's a myth that Nolvadex can't be as effective for post-cycle therapy as Clomid so why suffer all the sides? Nolvadex doesn't cause acne, depression, or altered eyesight.

TweetWhat about taking even less clomid in the same cycle rate/duration, rather than taking the "required" amount <--- in other words, would taking SOME be better than taking NONE, and could you still benefit from any of the positive effects?

[Drenten]

TweetI use Clomid throughout my cycle and post cycle.

I have never experienced any of the negative side effects that many people do.

TweetThanks guys, I think I will run it in the 100mgs-7days and 50mgs-14 days, for this first cycle (as stated above). I think this should be enough to get my own production up and test my reactions to it. What do you think?

TweetI am almost finished with my first clomid experience useing the traditional method and I have experienced no bad side effects at all. The first day of 300mgs was very interesting, I took it in the morning and that evening I felt like I had smoked dope or something, Everything was funny as hell to me. After that everything has been fine. My sex drive is still very strong as well. One more thing that seemed odd to me is that I have seen strenght increases still coming on my clomid therapy. I must say my experience is far from the normal. All positive.

TweetI'm not sure taking 300mg of clomid the first day is such a great idea. Clomid acts as a weak estrogen, blocking the more powerful estradiol at its receptors. However, if you take TOO much you could experience estrogenic-like side effects. Just because a little is good doesn't mean a lot is better. I think that routine of taking clomid is one of those things that someone stated a long time ago, and it go repeated so many times because people didn't know anything about it, that it just became accepted as truth.

TweetI take 150 mg of clomid 3x a week when on cycle to keep the boys working ...

and post cycle i'll do 100 mg/day for 4-5 weeks ...

i never really have a problem, but sometimes i'm more emotional than usual, and under stress i notice bright spots in my vision ...

that's not true at all ... clomid does block estradiol absorbtion, but taking high levels of clomid cannot lead to estrogenic side effects...

it's a synthetic estrogen taht works on the same receptors but does not work in the same way as estradiol in the slightest ...

clomid has been shown many many times to increase LH leves in the blood stream, and taking 300 mg the first day is just a way of getting more of the clomiphene in your blood stream faster ...

i run clomid throughout my whole cycle, and if for some reason i don't i start clomid before the rest of the AS is out of my system and run it for a while ...
