Clomid & The Family Jewels

[Hilltern]

I know there is never quite a consensus on these types of things but with compounded hcg getting harder to find, I’m left wandering: can clomid maintain testicle size during cycles? If so, would it only work for a very mild andro cycle, basic test cycles, or even a full on blast? Similarly would anything similar work? I don’t think nolva would but correct me if I’m wrong.

My opinion is no, there are a few ppl that say it works, but anytime I've asked one of those people to show me the blood work even the ones who said they got blood work, none of them ever showed it they always refuse to. There was a guy on this forum for a few years who was swearing up and down that this worked well and he had all the blood work to prove it but I asked so many times if he could post some of the blood work up and never once did it. If you're trying to avoid shutdown don't use things that cause shutdown it's pretty simple.

Otherwise run your cycle and do your PCT afterwards and call it a wrap.

I mean technically you can do whatever you want I'm just saying all the people who swear by it never can prove anything about it.

Showing the bigger scheme of things I just feel like you're taking more drugs for no reason and clomid and nolvadex and things like that they're not really good for you in the first place. So you should make your use of them very limited

I had seen that thread but didn't find it really all that conclusive. I mean in theory, it isn't incredibly far-fetched to believe it would at the least work for something as mild as an Andro cycle, but I agree the proof is in the pudding (ie the blood). And, unfortunately most things worthwhile suppress endogenous production so what can ya do. Agree that less is more when it comes to taking anything at all too, but clomid is used regularly at fertility clinics so it's not unheard of even for regular joes to take it periodically, fwiw.

Just because it's often used doesn't mean it's healthy, dr.s prescribed children hundreds of mg of anadrol per day for certain medical conditions. I know it's not the same thing but I'm just making a point.

Also long-term clomid use has a lot of potential drawbacks like degenerative eye health for one, there are a few guys who have no issues with it but it makes many men act like moody females on there periods

I think those are all fair points as well. Just thinking it had enough theoretical utility to not be dismissed outright. Was hoping this thread would trigger someone to give some data backed support to it but maybe I was hoping for too much lol.

What’s your question, if Clomid can maintain testicular size/sperm or prevent shutdown on cycle?

Testicle size/sperm: maybe, I don’t remember and I didn’t test that but I think my balls had a normal size.
Prevent shutdown: no, you will still be shutdown, even from a “light cycle” as Anavar.

I've been browsing Reddit / steroid forums for several years and personally have seen mixed results and bloodwork showing both ends of the spectrum. Some claimed to have stacked serms and sarms successfully with bloodwork to back it up and theres others where it didn't work at all.

I remember seeing a study where subjects were given serms in conjunction with very small doses of androgens, like a few millligrams per day, and it was still able to keep the HPTA stimulated. I believe moreplatesmoredates posted it a long time ago. I'm going to do some digging and see if I can find it for you

It's just a waste of money bro. Better save your money on clomid for PCT only.

During cycle clomid IF accompanied by HCG

Why would you even bother if you have HCG? Besides the point is that HCG is becoming harder to find/more expensive…

If your means of using HCG is for continuing spermatogenesis then it's advisable to use it along with clomid.

But yes, if you're using it only for ball size or prevent shrinkage using clomid is overkill.

I'm just saying using clomid on cycle is another waste if money is a concern. Also psychological issue (i tend to have, even at 25 mg) is not worth it since it arguably work
