Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid) is not a steroid, but a synthetic estrogen proscribed to stimulate ovulation in women. Its primary purpose within the school of bodybuilding is to restore hypothalamohypophysial testicular axis (HPTA).

As we have all learned H-P-T-A function is suppressed through the use of exogenous androgens . Failure to restore H-P-T-A function can result in post cycle muscular atrophy (PCMA).

Clomid does not mimic Lutenizing hormone (LH) nor does it mimic Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), it simply induces their production, which in turn stimulates the leydig cells within the testies to begin the production of endogenous testosterone.

Now, of utmost importance to bodybuilders is proper clomid timing. Obviously beginning 7-14 days of clomiphene therapy the last day of 500mg injection of sustanon would be a wasted endeavor since elevated blood androgen levels will still be present due in part to the deaconate ester in sustanon.

Therefore, all of us must in good reason estimate the half-life/bioavailability of those hormones we administer in order to ensure that once LH/FSH production is began endogenously it doesn't become resuppressed once clomid ceases.

Chorionic Gonadogropin is NOT A STEROID it is protein produced within the placenta of pregnant women. Gonadotropin is produced from the urine of pregnant women. It is generally proscribed to men who are incapable of producing a sufficient level of LH. (Hypogonadicism) sp?

Gonadotropin is indeed used amongst men and women alike, but for completely different reasons. In women it is used during the third trimester of pregnancy during the last development of the ovum. Amongst men it�s used once again to bring about the production of testosterone.

GONADOTROPIN mimics the effects of Lutenizing hormone. Therefore, its effects on the production are immediate because the biological process of inducing the production of LH (clomid) is omitted entirely.

THE SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS BY WHICH TO RESTORE H-P-T-A function is through the effective combination of both drugs. In most cases clomid alone will suffice, in most case *** alone will not suffice because it only mimics the effects of LH, which is not enough for permanent restoration of HPTA.

Thank you sir. I posted my opinion on this subject as to Clomid being an Estrogen and I got laughed off the boaed.

The moral?

As far as my research and understanding goes the effects of these two drugs are precise and are not to be confused. One stimulates one mimics.

Clomid delays the ultimate recovery at the brain (hypothalamus). Neurotransmitters carry signals to the hypothalamus telling it whats going on. We call this the suprahypothalamic level of stimulation. If you can stimulate the hypothalamus, then you are truly getting to the root of the problem.
