Once you have completed and decide to come off steroids the ideal situation you want to find yourself in is restarting your natural hormone production as smoothly and quickly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clomid is used in a medical setting to help stimulate ovary production for women, in essence, it is a drug which helps fertility. Its mechanisms of action including interaction with estrogen receptors in the body and also supporting the release and stimulating the FSH and LH.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmuscle.co.uk\/articles\/what-is-nolvadex\/\">Nolvadex<\/a>, Clomid also has some anti-estrogenic properties, meaning it can help reduce water weight and act against gynecomastia, it would be wiser to use Nolvadex for those side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you come off your cycle and testosterone levels start to lower without your own system taking over cortisol will become the predominant hormone in the body. Cortisol is what is responsible for lower protein synthesis and creating a catabolic environment within the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When using a combination of Clomid, Nolvadex and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmuscle.co.uk\/articles\/what-is-hcg\/\">HCG<\/a> you give your body the maximum chance at a speedy recover which, at the end of the day, means a greater chance of keeping hold of your hard-earned gains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clomid has been in production since the 1970s as a prescription fertility drug and has been being used in that regard by countries all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dose and Availability<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clomiphene is available in pharmacy grade and it is also manufactured by UGLs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clomid comes in 50mg tablets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The general price for Clomid is between \u00a325 &#8211; \u00a335 per box.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-408 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tmuscle.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/clomid-PCT-drug-300x300.png\" alt=\"Clomid PCT\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tmuscle.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/clomid-PCT-drug-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tmuscle.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/clomid-PCT-drug-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.tmuscle.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/clomid-PCT-drug.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clomid for PCT<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clomid has also been known to be able to stimulate FSH and the LH to help kickstart the recovery process after a long shutdown from being on cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In PCT the idea is to start ramping up the testes to increase the levels of your own natural testosterone. Once on cycle, the levels of testosterone being produced by your own body will gradually start to reduce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clomid is an important part of a PCT, and it can be run all the way through. For most, during PCT your hormone levels are beginning to level out and find homeostasis. Clomid helps the process by kickstarting your own system to become active again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Much Clomid to Run for PCT<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A PCT last around four weeks after a cycle. You need to take into account the amount of time it will take for the steroids to start to reduce in your system. This can be done by working out their half-lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clomid can be run at 50mg per day, 1 tablet, for the duration of the PCT. This is usually enough to see a significant improvement in kickstarting your own hormonal system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side Effects of Clomiphene<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clomid has been around for many years so we do understand more about its side effects. One of the main issues people may suffer from is visual. Some people who use Clomid suffer from blurring vision or spots and flashes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most, these sides only occur when using higher amounts of Clomiphene or running for longer periods. As a fertility drug, it may be run for months at a time. For men using it recover from a steroid cycle, though, it will only be being run for a month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suffer from any vision symptoms it is best to avoid nighttime driving or anything which could cause you or others harm while using Clomid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very rarely are these issues serious or non-reversible, yet users can suffer from long-term vision impairment after using Clomid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other side effects of Clomiphene can include; hot flushes, stomach discomfort, nausea, headaches and more. It should be noted that Clomid is very well tolerated and a very small number of people will suffer from any form of side effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQ on Clomid<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Clomid<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clomid is a fertility drug which has been being prescribed and used since the 1970s to treat women who have issues with hormones and becoming pregnant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In bodybuilding, it used as a part of a PCT.
