Centchroman...a non-steroidal, oral BC pill

[JJFigure]

I'm seriously considering it as well...

Ceebs, I don't know the exact anti-estrogenic activity. That's what I'm curious about. It is clearly more anti-estrogenic than, say, tamoxifen, but all we really know is that it works in the uterus to block estrogen's action (unlike tamoxifen that is actually pro-estrogenic in the uterus). How it will behave in adipocytes is anyone's guess. I hope you'll keep us up-dated.

In the name of being the board guinea pig (and not biting my fingernails and saying a Hail Mary every time I ovulate), I just placed an order with this site for a 3 month supply. I'm a little annoyed that I can't pay with a credit card, and need to mail a check to India, but at least the prices are very low. I'll keep you all updated.

MS, when you say it has mild anti-estrogenic properties - do you mean it would potentially make shedding estrogenic fat deposits easier when dieting? My glute and thigh adipocytes are my arch nemeses...

Theres three things that can happen from this,,,,

You send a cheque and nothing comes back;
You recieve the pills and it may hurt you very very badly;
or they work perfectly at a good cost....

personally, I find it hard to believe India can produce something like this. With all the anti America crap going on right now be careful. Its very easy to make a website and ask for cheques.

Keep us up to date PLEASE....

"I find it hard to believe India can produce something like this"...............That's patentedly absurd. There is no doubt that this drug has been developed and produced in India, and thoroughly tested too. It is a medical and pharmaceutivcal fact. India is an up and coming world leader in the development of new drugs, computer technology and many other high tech products.

"You send a cheque and nothing comes back;
You recieve the pills and it may hurt you very very badly;
or they work perfectly at a good cost...."


This is perfectly true anytime you send money anywhere, including online purchases etc...You are less likely to get ripped of buying a legit pharmaceutical product like this than, say, illegal AAS.

"Its very easy to make a website and ask for cheques."

TRUE. It happens in America with American based websites all the time. You don't need to go overseas to lose money!

Point well taken. I know that someone has to play the doubting thomas here, and I appreciate your concern.

If it's a scam: 1) I'm only out about $20, and 2) it's an awfully elaborate scam. The Centchroman club has pictures of the pills and packaging, and the club webmaster appears to back the site.

Whoa!

I had forgotten about this thread and then saw that I had recently gotten Karma from CEEBS from it... glad to see this is up for discussion. Oh, and for the record, I am a guy and was inquiring for my girlfriend.

CEEBS, please keep us all informed...Thanks!

Spatts asked me to post this question for you ladies. Could Centchroman be used to bridge between cycles, for example winny...to prevent the estrogen rebound?

 

[MS]

I don't think anyone can say yet. It doesn't have any effect on estogen production, it merely anataginizes the estrogen receptor (like Nolvadex but with less estrogenic activity). It might allow your hormones to return to 'normal' with less dramatic symptoms of rebound, but it's pure speculation. Must ask some Indian women who've been on it for a while if they've developed lean thighs! Somehow I don't think so.........

Somehow I don't think so.........

Thanks MS...Spatts was at work and asked me to post

Good News!

I wrote metabs.com suggesting that they use Paypal to accept payment...saying that I thought a lot more people would feel comfortable doing that than sending a check (since you can dispute Paypal charges if they don't deliver)...and I got a response saying that they will be set up to accept payment via Paypal in about a week...so, I am curious to see how this goes and what people think about the Centchroman now that it should be easier to get...

I do have a question though... as to the action of Centchroman... I have seen it referred to as abortifacient, because its primary means of preventing pregnancy is by preventing implantation, rather than inhibiting ovulation... could anyone (who condones the use of steroidal, oral BC) have a logically consistent view that opposes the morality of Centchroman on the basis that it is purely abortifacient? I mean, don't normal BC pills have an abortifacient aspect to them as well... if the BC fails to inhibit ovulation (which I know it does sometime even when used correctly), and then if sperm were to sneak past the thickened mucous of the uterine lining...isn't the last line of defense for steroidal, oral BC to act as abortifacient? Do steroidal, oral BC pills act abortifacient in the same way as Centchroman, as in preventing implantation? Or do they just make the environment of the womb very hostile to a newly implanted embryo (is that what its called at this point? zygote maybe)... I guess what I am getting at here is that I have often heard pro-lifers attack BC pills because they are abortifacient. However, if the BC pills are abortifacient because they are very early abortion (after implantation), then wouldn't Centrchroman be an even more optimal (from this pro-life standpoint) because implantation will not ever occur? Notice I say "more optimal", not optimal because most Pro-lifers consider life to begin as soon as the sperm and egg meet...

I dunno, maybe I've just had too much coffee...who knows about the abortifacient aspect of oral BC pills in relation to that of Centchroman?

Thanks y'all!
