Clomid Dosing for Athletes
Clomid is only taken once a day. Experts in the field of body building suggest that it be used alone or in combination with low potency anabolic steroids. Most body builders take anabolic steroids for a few months and then switch over to Clomid. The Clomid provides the surge in testosterone and also prevents the development of breast enlargement. The exact timing of when to start Clomid is not known but it is recommended that once the steroid drugs are stopped, Clomid should be started within 7-10 days.
A great many athletes and body builders do take Clomid, but the selection of dosage is very variable. While the drug is not recommended for body building, the dose has been empirically worked out. Most bodybuilders take anywhere from 50-100 mg/day of clomiphene for a 2 week period. Some bodybuilders recommend increasing the dose to 100 mg/day if no effects are seen. After the third week, Clomid should be stopped. This cycling phase has been developed by past body builders.
Since no physicians recommend Clomid for body building purposes, it is hard to get proper medical advice on this drug. In any case, if you have doubts one may want to get advice from fertility experts who have the best knowledge about this drug.
The exact duration of Clomid is not known. There are no long-term data on the drug. In general one should avoid taking Clomid for pronged periods

Clomid and BodyBuilding Part 3
Prescription Dosage for infertility
Clomiphene is a large molecule, which is soluble in most organic solvents like alcohol. The sodium salt citrate is also soluble in water. The chemical is odorless. Clomiphene comes as a 50 mg tablet.
Patients who receive Clomid must have been fully worked up for all gynecological and endocrine disorders prior to therapy. Ovulation typically occurs 5-10 days after starting Clomid. This coitus should be timed to coincide with the expected time of ovulation.
Clomid is started out at 50 mg/day for 5 days. This dose can be increased in females who do not ovulate.

Clomid and BodyBuilding Part 1
Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) is a synthetic non-steroidal drug that is very similar in structure to estrogen. It is widely used as an ovulatory stimulant. Because of its similarity to estrogen, it can bind to the estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus. This blocks the hypothalamus from sensing “real” estrogen and the hypothalamus in turn acts by stimulating the pituitary to release more Gonadotropins like FSH and LH. The FSH and LH stimulate the ovaries/testes to produce more estrogen/testosterone. This property of clomiphene has been widely used to treat women with ovarian failure and induce ovulation. However, long term use (> 1-2 years) of this drug may not be safe because of the increased risk of ovarian cancer.
Pharmacology
Clomid is recommended for the treatment of women who have ovulatory dysfunction. Many women who fail to get pregnant have been found to have dysfunction in the ovulation cycle. Women with ovulation problems include those with polycystic ovarian syndrome and some with unknown causes of amenorrhea. Clomid is only prescribed after a thorough evaluation of the menstrual cycle is done to determine where the problem occurs.
To achieve ovulation with Clomid, timing is of great importance. The woman’s body temperature is monitored and blood work is done to determine if ovulation has occurred. Once ovulation is established, Clomid is started. In general Clomid is started on or about the 5th day of the cycle. Clomid is generally administered for 3-6 cycles. Long term therapy is not recommended

Winstrol Efficacy
The majority of people do see muscle bulk build up after 3-4 weeks. In fact, winstrol can significantly improve exercise performance for short periods of time. Many reports exist of athletes who claim that spontaneous bursts in energy are common after 3-4 weeks of use. However, this effect is not seen to last for long periods.
Despite what most builders believe, higher doses of stanozolol are harmful and do not result in improved results. Most experts recommend that the drug not be used for more than 4-6 weeks.
Stanozolol is frequently used for 3-4 weeks and then cycled with other drugs. The most common other drugs are Masteron, Equipose, Oxandrolone, GH and thyroxin. Some individuals add Clomid to prevent the suppression of testosterone in the wash out period. Because stanozolol can cause water retention many athletes also use water pills to rid the excess body water.
Recently, an alternative to stanozolol is furazabol; it is identical to stanozolol in all respects except that it does improve the cholesterol profile which makes it unique among all anabolic steroids. However, this beneficial effect is only seen at low doses and for a short time period. When used at high doses for a long time, all anabolic steroids lower HDL cholesterol and increase LDL cholesterol.
