Answer 1

Clomifene (INN) or clomiphene (USAN and former BAN) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), used mainly in female infertility due to anovulation (e.g. due to polycystic ovary syndrome). In some countries, it is also registered for use in men. Clomiphene citrate is marketed under various trade names including Clomid, Serophene, Milophene, etc.

Mode of action
Clomifene acts by inhibiting the action of estrogen on the gonadotrope cells in the anterior pituitary gland. "Sensing" low estrogen levels, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) release is increased, leading to a higher rate of ovulation and hence pregnancy.

Clomifene can lead to multiple ovulation, and hence increasing the chance of twins. In comparison to purified FSH, the rate of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is low. There may be an increased risk of ovarian cancer, and weight gain.


Chemistry
Clomifene is a diastereomeric mixture of two geometric isomers, enclomifene (E-clomifene) and zuclomifene (Z-clomifene).


Adverse effects
Common adverse drug reactions associated with the use of clomifene (≥1% of patients) include: hot flushes, abdominal discomfort, visual blurring, and/or reversible ovarian enlargement and cyst formation. Infrequent adverse effects (0.1–1% of patients) include: abnormal uterine bleeding, nausea, and/or vomiting. Rare adverse effects (<0.1% of patients) include: reversible alopecia and/or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.[1]


Use in bodybuilding
Clomifene is commonly used by male anabolic steroid users to bind the estrogen receptors in their bodies, thereby blocking the effects of estrogen, i.e., gynecomastia. It also restores the body's natural production of testosterone. It is commonly used as a "recovery drug" and taken toward the end of a steroid cycle.

I am with you with the truth that you possibly worried. I suppose you have got each purpose to be. I'm currently taking clomid and feature so much amazing ovulated two instances on it. Her possibilities of taking clomid do develop the chance of multiples however not that so much. Genuinely from what i have discovered, if she takes extra clomid than what she is meant to and/or maintains to take clomid each and every month, it might potentially definitely hinder her getting pregnant. Considering the truth that she is conventional and would get pregnant, she have got to comply with that and no longer take the comfort. There's a danger that if she takes the clomid, a. Her hormones can get screwed up and b. Her cervical mucus can emerge as much less and less (that is the stuff that is had to aid the sperm swim). This is likely one of the causes why scientific specialists handiest enable sufferers to utilize clomid at three months at a time. My recommendation is for her to do it the old lengthy-centered process if she's going to. P.S. I've attempted to get pregnant for five years now with 2 miscarriages, so be mindful of the struggles of having pregnant. Your pal has a distinctive gift of getting youngsters certainly.
