Im asking this, becuase I did a test only cycle before and had no pimples untill I stopped the test and started the clomid. is it from stopping the test? Or from the clomid? Right now Im on a sus/primo cycle with no acne at all, and dont want to throw in clomid if I start breaking out. IP: Logged |

it can be from both. acne is usually caused from a change in hormone levels, which occurred when you came off of the test and when you started the clomid, so yes, clomid can cause acne. It gives it to me pretty harsh. IP: Logged |

Some guys do get acne from the clomid. Why? I couldn't tell you. Couple guys at my gym got it from the clomid. You want to keep it in there. Don't stop using it in the cycle or post. Unless someone gives you an alternative to the clomid. ------------------ "Pain is weakness leaving the body>>>" IP: Logged |

I believe that clomid might worsen acne, but I think people often accuse clomid of more than it actually does. Many people report lots of acne when the cycle ends and they're only using clomid. If you have ever tried a cycle without clomid at the end, you would be surprised to recieve the same degree of acne that you did while using clomid. Oils secreted from the massive surges of hormones take a long time to reach the outer layer and surface of the skin. Therefore acne is usally worst shortly after the cycle has ended. I believe that is even more to it than that, hormones are very complex. IP: Logged |

I hear ya MONSTROSITY....it makes sense, but to reiterate.... The clomid defintely was the cause of "my" acne....I did a good 12+ cycles before using clomid and never got acne til the 2 times I did use clomid...and when I stopped taking the clomid, the acne went away..... IP: Logged |

Pills are hard on your liver. Use HCG instead. IP: Logged |

I did not use clomid with my first cycle and I had no trouble with acne until the cycle was over. I'll of course use clomid on this coming cycle and we'll see. IP: Logged |

I'm glad you see E2's point. The pro's probably use both, and anything/everything that will help them reach the top. Pitbull IP: Logged |

Pitbull, the pros prefer hcg. Then whatever they can find. Do you think they don't take care of their liver? IP: Logged |

How many pros do you know personally? Well yeah they probably prefer clomid while on to prevent shrivelled balls but they are on alot if not year round. I would not use hcg post cycle it will most likely cause gyno because of low test and high estrogen. Hcg acts like LH and talks to the tests...In the long run it's better to get the LH from the Pitutary gland like it's supposed to... Clomid helps normalise the HPT axis and this is what we are looking for. HCG is a good tool but must be used with clomid to provide full recovery of the HPTA.

I agree with others that Clomid does cause ance. I know because when I come off a heavy cycle and start using Clomid I break out big time. Sucks IP: Logged |

Lqdmscle: You are saying that clomid is too harsh on the liver so use HCG! Is that correct? What in your opinion or your friends opinion is the best way to normalise natural test and explain. I am interested and not trying to prove my point. Please enlighten me. IP: Logged |

Perhaps you missed my post. Here it is again DREXX.Here goes DREXX: When synthetic test is introduced to the body, you have a huge amount of testosterone. Your body sees this and it will try to go to equilibrium. Hence, when you raise your test level, you raise estrogen as well. HCG will kick start your nuts and test will start to produce, at the same time estrogen was high because it was raised when you were on a/s. Therefore, people blame HCG. Yes, HCG does raise your estrogen level, but estrogen was high to begin with. How do you minimize estrogen? There are a lot of variables. First is the large amount of test. Which means, if a beginner takes a shit load of a/s, then his test and estrogen level will be really high. No matter what he takes; clomid or HCG, he'll have a good chance of getting gyno. I see a lot of beginners on this board who use crazy amount of testosterone. There's a lot more to this, people's body weight, diet and genetics. The list goes on and on. Just remember that clomid is a pill and it will counteract with some a/s and some pills. Clomid may work well for beginers, but when you have some experience with a/s, HCG is the way to go. I understand that HCG is not for everyone. People bash HCG too much. Pros use a lot of shit. Their liver is in overdrive all the time. They prefer shots over pills. As you know, they take a lot shots and swallow pills like m&ms. There is one other thing that HCG does that clomid does not do. Can you guess what it is? Don't say gyno or it sucks. The answer may surprise you. Hint: something to do with your receptors. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Good Post lgqmscle! Hcg and receptors??? Go on I am interested. I prefer when you post more thourough explanations this way people understand where your opinion is comming from. HCG kick starts the balls so yeah it's good for your dick anything else... Don't forget that clomid binds to the estrogen receptors so estrogen can't. It is an estrogen antagonist on top of normalizing the HPTA. I doubt that clomid will interfer with any other pill or be harsh on the liver. Dbol and Winny are harsh on the liver because they are 17 alpha-alkyl based steroid. IP: Logged |

I liked that post Lqdmuscle - its good to back up what you say when its contreversial with some reasoning. I personally can't tell you whether its the clomid that causes my breakouts at the end of a cycle or hormonal changes. I only know that I get them, maybe while off in a month or two I will take 100mg clomid for a week or 2 and see what happens. Slopain IP: Logged |
