Most often, doctors prescribe this medication to treat female infertility of almost any origin. It is really very effective if your goal is conception. However, let us talk about other, atypical Clomid uses. But first, let’s recall the main reasons to consult a doctor for a prescription for this antiestrogen. First of all, specialists prescribe this drug for the treatment of infertility in women of almost any age. It stimulates ovulation, and, if used correctly, quickly leads to a long-awaited pregnancy.
Prescription for amenorrhea and disease variations
We cannot say these are atypical Clomid uses. Actually, the absence of menstruation or too rare bleeding can lead to difficulties in conception.
Amenorrhea, or oligomenorrhea, manifests itself as infrequent and usually irregular menstrual bleeding. A woman may menstruate every 40 days or even less often, sometimes up to once a year. We have no idea how Joanne Rowling would call it.
Young girls and older women, especially in the period before menopause, can complain about this disease. Most often, doctors diagnose one of two forms of oligomenorrhea – primary (due to congenital defects of the reproductive system, during puberty) and secondary (often due to stress or abortions, at an older age).
A disease can lead to infertility, but in itself causes a lot of trouble, too. For example, a woman may complain of weight gain, the appearance of “unnecessary” hair on the body, and severe acne. In any case, better consult a physician and pass necessary medical exams as soon as possible. Remind your doctor of atypical Clomid uses.
Use of the drug for Stein-Leventhal syndrome (polycystic ovary syndrome)
Doctors often prescribe this remedy for violation of ovarian function, or PCOS, or Stein-Leventhal syndrome. How to understand that you may be suffering from this syndrome?
Here are the main symptoms:
- Irregular, rare menstruation or the complete absence of ovulation and, accordingly, menstrual bleeding.
- Too heavy, or vice versa, or painful menstruation.
- Diagnosed or suspected infertility.
- An increased level of androgens in the blood, which is easy to notice not only by the hormone testing, but also by the signs of masculinization. Particularly, a woman can notice that the hair on the head falls out, and on the body, on the contrary, grows like in men. In addition, sometimes the voice changes, the clitoris enlargers, the skin condition worsens (acne, wrinkles, stretch marks). Moreover, often, sex drive increases dramatically. Also, mind the so-called male-pattern obesity, when fat concentrates in the abdomen.
- Chronic pain in the lower abdomen or lower back.
- Long periods with symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (pain, swelling, sudden mood swings, irritability).
- Multiple ovarian cysts, a noticeable increase in ovarian size, endometrium changes. A woman should pass a number of medical tests to identify these symptoms.
- Changing parameters of blood tests. Without a visit to a specialist, a patient may never know about it. Therefore, we recommend paying attention to the symptoms mentioned above. If you suspect PCOS, better see a doctor and start treatment ASAP.
Other atypical Clomid uses – not only in women but also in men
Here we list the most amazing ways to successfully use the drug for the treatment of various diseases and for other purposes:
- Galactorrhea or Chiari-Frommel syndrome (abnormal production of breast milk, not associated with feeding). You might be surprised, but this unpleasant condition happens both in women and in men. If the disease is not caused by cancer, a doctor may prescribe Clomid.
- Oligospermia, or oligozoospermia, or just low sperm count, which most often leads to infertility in men. However, with proper treatment, a patient has great chances of recovery and becoming a dad.
- The atypical Clomid uses include the fight against uterine bleeding. Please mind that in this case you cannot self-medicate. Consult a specialist and take pills under medical control.
- In addition, bodybuilders and some other athletes love this medicine. Due to its properties, the substance eliminates the so-called “aromatization” – side effects from taking anabolic steroids. In other words, the drug corrects the level of estrogen in the male body, preventing “feminization”.
cannot imagine a man taking it for any f.ng purpose LOL it’s typical and it typically makes us mothers LOL
They do, believe me LOL
My dad takes it. Hope he has no intention to give birth to someone, ahah.
Oh, honey, they DO! Mine takes Clomid regularly for better performance in bodybuilding, and it WORKS! I’m still laughing when it comes to mind how we bought a LARGE pack of these pills ’cause I had to took ’em to conceive while he ATE ’em for the same three months to gain muscle mass and reduce fat LOL
hi girls! does this medicine affect the skin? don’t want look bad lol
Hi! No, it doesn’t LOL But you might suffer other more typical side effects of Clomid. Good luck with your treatment anyway!
I had skin rash, but my doctor told it’s an allergy, not a side effect. See your doc!!
Unfortunately, sometimes it does. At least in my case. My doctor told it’s because the changes in hormonal levels. Still, I kept taking it. After terminating the treatment course, it all turned back to normality. Good luck!
As for me, I had NO side effects at all! Hope U 2!!!
It souldn’t, but depends on your skin and your health conditions…
These uses are quite typical. Thanks anyway!
Nice tips, thanks
Stupid you!
Merry Christmas!
Hi! Did anyone suffer headaches during the course of treatment?
Ohhh I thought I’m the only one! Yep!!! My doc told me that’s abnormal and has nothing to do with the drug!
Me! But it passed in about two weeks, don’t worry!
The same shit. It persists for months. But in my case there’s no other way to get pregnant. Hope it’ll be easier for you, honey.
Hi guys and girls! I’m on my first course, and I feel so-so after Christmas holidays. Could that be due to Clomid + alcohol? Thanks in advance and kisses!
I’ve never heard of any trouble due to combining Clomid with alcohol. See a doctor if it doesn’t pass!
Hi! How R U now? Good luck in your (hope not too long) challenge!!! Kitty
Now I’m fine, thanks!! Guess it was really because of two glasses of sparkling wine, not Clomid fault LOL
Hi! How R U now?
Does it help to lose weight?
Seems like not, you’d need another drug.
It might help if obesity’s caused by certain hormonal disbalance. Ask your doc for advice.
As someone has already mentioned, only if you have this trouble due to lack of thyroid hormone
hi! what’s the right dose for self medicatin’ if i think i have the symptoms of lack of thyroid hormones?
If you intend to risk on your own, just take an average dose recommended. Good luck.
Start with 50′ dosage pills
I’d recommend 25 mg. Clomid’s effective.
R U sure? Better first pass medical exams. This Clomid hormone is STRONG!
Hi! How can I ease swelling due to Clomid???
Hallo. Think of changing your nutrition and exercise. DO NOT take other drugs for swelling.
Try to decrease the dose.
Quite tipycal! Let’s talk about our nutrition dudes!
Seems like I’ve ssen an article about nutrition during Clomid courses on this website, search for it…
OMG U R everywhere
Hi! I’m 35, and we’ve been trying to conceive since September. I’m already tired of measuring temperatures, making ovulation tests, taking vitamins and all that stuff… Today I met my doctor again, and he (finally) mentioned Clomid. I am to start on my next cycle. Will you please share your personal experiences? Is it worth taking, what are side effects, how many cycles/courses it took to get pregnant? Thanks!!!
Hi darling! I quess it works differently in each person, but I’d share my (very positive) esperience with pleasure! So, I’ve bought Clomid without even seeing a doctor after many attempts to concieve. I’ve chosen an average (50) dose. During the second (!!!) course I’ve made a POSITIVE pregnancy test!!! Moreover, I had almost no side effects, just a bit of nausea. So, do not worry and good luck! Kisses
Hi! Don’t worry, it really works. As for me, I felt well, ant it took six courses to concieve, but I’m SO HAPYY now! Good luck!
Hi! Me it took more than a year, but without Clomid I’d never be a mom! I had hot flashes, headaches, nausea… in fact all the symptoms possible, but it’s worth!!! Good luck! Hope it will be easier and faster for you!
I’m just thinking of taking Clomid, but GOOD LUCK!!!
Hi. I’m overweigh. Can I take higher doses (150)?
NO! The dose does not really depend on it. Take 100 mg pills.
Did it work? I’ve got the same problem!
I’ve found 25, 50, 75 mg pills on the web. Do they exist?
LOL if U’ve found them YEP
Strange…
No! I’ve seen the same shit somewhere on the web, and they had another active substance!!!
You don’t really need them even if they do, normal doses match 50!
Hi! Is it possible to make it in home lab??
LOL if U R a specialist U’d not ask US
LOL U made my day
I need a typical advice. Just kiddin’… How long will it take to recieve my pills with normal and fast shipping options? I should start my first course in a month… Hope someone could share any experience… Thanks!
Buy right now, all the stores ship slower now due to pandemic!
You’ve got them? I bought mine Clomid pack two weeks ago and recieved it yesterday!
Did you buy it? How long it took to recieve a parcel?
Hi! Could I use Clomid for weight correction without physical activity?
I’ve tried, but along with a diet. Gym works better.
Yep! But gym makes it even better!!!
nope
Correction in which sense? Theoretically, you might loose some weight if overweigh’s due to thyroid disease. Still, exercise!
Absolutely no, it just won’t help at all…
Hi everybody! I’m LilyLol, and I’d like to announce the GOOD NEWS! I’m finally pregnant!!! It took me just two Clomid courses! Good luck, girls!!!
CONGRATS!!!! I’m so happy for you!!! Clomid always helps!
Wow!!! I’m sooooo glad! Hope it will help me too (my pack has just arrived, I’d start in a week)…
Wow! Hope Clomid will help me as well LOL
Thank you girls!!! U R sooo sweet! Good luck all of U 2!!!
WOW! Congrats!!! Wish I could do THAT fast!!!!
Good luck with this pregrancy!
CONGRATS!!!
SOOOO happy for U!!!! Hope my Clomid course will be as effective as yours 🙂
Hi! Can I start my course two days later?
For concieving? No, better wait and start later. It won’t work otherwise. Good luck!
Better not waste your tabs, start later! And good luck, honey!
My doctor told me not to waste Clomid pills in vain. He says it’s always better to wait until the next cycle. Good luck in this pleasant journey!
Hi! Would anyone please recommend me a good UNDERSTANDIN’ doctor to talk online?
Search among your REAL friends. I’m afraid noone would do that this way, DUDE.
Just ask here LOL everyone’s an expert
What for?
Hi girls and other genders! I’ve got a bit complicated situation. My doc told me to take Clomid to concieve, but my periods are not regular enough, so he says first I should take a course of other pills, up to 3 to 4 months… Does it make sense? Thanks!
Hi! I had the same problem, and I didn’t obey LOL and it took me two courses to get pregnant, so if you hesitate – start it without period correction!!! Good luck anyway!
I’d listen to my doc 🙂
Hallo girls! Just one question… Do all of U tell your partners bout Clomid? Seems like my GF takes the pills…
the same ship happened to me, thanks to that slut I’m taking meds for my gym purposes lol
Why not just ask her?
I’m sooo happy to NOT be your girlfriend LOL
Hi! What I self-medicate with 50 mg pills for maximum (hope it will work) half a year? Is it safe?
Hope it will work faster, ’cause Clomid has side effects (as any other drug). Anyway, the sooner you start, the sooner you’d feel happy! Good luck!!!
Yep, I’m taking ’em for years, don’t worry!
Happy Easter! In fact, I just had to say thanks to everyone here and to Clomid manufacturers and selles, ’cause I’ve just found out that I’m finally pregnant!!! WOW!!! Best wishes!
Wow! Congrats! Hope I’d post here soon too!
I’m so happy 4 U! Hope I’d do the same!
Hi everyone! I’ve read this on the web:
clomifene is an inhibitor of the conversion of desmosterol into cholesterol by the enzyme 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase concerns about possible induction of desmosterolosis and associated symptoms such as cataracts and ichthyosis with extended exposure precluded the use of clomifene in the treatment of breast cancer
Is that true?
Thanks!!!
what’s the question?
Hi! I just wanna know if a patient could take it for breast cancer. Thanks.
See a doctor, darling! KISSES
Hi! Does anyone here use Clomid in sports? Please tell how long your average course lasts…
I’m taking from time to time, up to three weeks, works fine
uo to month, not more
Three weeks, not more!
Hallo! Hope someone could help me. I’ve started my “self-course” in time, but in a week I’ve got an UNEXPECTED period!!! What should I do now? I’m still taking the pills… Thanks!
Hi! I’ve had the same problem, and my doc told me to skip that month and restart later. Don’t waste your pills, sister! 🙂
How did you manage?
I’m up to restart
Hi! How it’s going??
Hi everyone! I’m using Clomid for years with almost no side effects, but this month I’m having fckng insonnia!!!! Anyone has any idea? I’m not even sure if there’s any connection…
I took the pills for three years (with breaks obviously) ’til I’ve got pregnant, and NO insonnia (other side effects were PRESENT grrrr)
Well, as for me, I’ve used them for 3 !!! years, and NO such side effect at all
the same shit
Wow, bro!!! We’ve gor the same problem (and the same firstname LOL)… Anyway, it passes, just wait a bit…
Shit happens LOL
Hi! Have U used Clomid to concieve (successfully I mean) with ovarian cyst and without seeing a doc? Thanks!
ME!!! I’m literally AFRAID of doctors (well, I WAS, now I’m working on this shit with my therapist LOL), so I DID IT! In fact, guess it was kinda a miracle. Better see a doc, darling! Anyway, good luck! KISSES
NOPE! See your doctor! Even if you manage, this illness might cause awful things in future!!!
It’s always recommended to treat ovarian cyst first. Moreover, most cannot concieve with this diagnosis, so don’t waste your time and money in vain!
My friend had a great experience, and I trust her!
Well, good luck anyway. If you’ll have any doubt, see a doctor, please.
Any other uses? I would like to loose weight, do they help to?
SURE! I’m takin’ ….
Yep, I take it for GYM, and my GF takes the same (less dosage) to loose weigh…
Thank you both!!! The dose remains the same?
Better start with the lowest one, then U’ll see if it fits U! Good luck!!!
Thanks! Waiting for my pills to arrive… Hope it will help!
It’s one of the main uses. Works fine.
Hi! I’m overgoing my third course, anyone here awaited for that long? TIRED!
Hallo, darling! No one will tell you the truth, but most of us have to take it for years, don’t give up!!! For me, it took a year (with breaks, of course)… Good luck!
Thanks, darling!!!
Hi! Could this medicine help with weight loss without gym? Thanks in advance!!!
Some do take Clomid for that, but – even it helps – consider at least some physical activity. Otherwise you’ll have to redo the course, which means load on the body, side effects, spendings, and so on…
Thanks! I’m doing some jogging, and I’m trying to eat healthier, but I’m still fat…
Sorry, i wasn’t blaming you or smthng like that. Maybe you’d better see a doctor first. Anyway, good luck!
Hi! What if I start my course two days later? Don’t wanna miss this month… Thanks!
I’d say better not, darling. Anyway, noone answered you. How did you manage?
Thanks for worrying! Noone left any reply here, but I’ve searched the web, and had started… Hope it will go fine!!!
Seems like it doesn’t work in such cases, but still good luck! Hope you’ll be pregnant soon!
takin’ it just to speed up methabolism (sorry for my english)
It really helps, many consider the same use (and you don’t have to say sorry LOL)
all the time or in courses? thx
Courses, it’s unsafe to take this medicine constantly.
Hi girls! How many courses you had to take before getting pregnant? Thanks!
Hi!!! I’ve made two))) Good luck!
Wow! Hope I’d overcome it quickly and easy toooo!!!! LOVE
Hi! Where can I purchase this med online with an offer of free samples of other pills? Do such things still exist? Thanks!
U’d better search for another thread here, where they discuss online purchases. Good luck anyway!
Oh, sure! Cannot find it… Will you please share a link? Thanks!
Hi! Ladies, had anyone ever tried a course in five years after the very first attempts? How it worked? Thank you in advance!
WOW… I’m trying for six months and am already tired… God bless us!
Thanks, darling! I think it was my fault that time, because I didn’t respect the dose and missed several pills. Hope now it will work! Good luck you too!!!
initial dose for 35YO girl who’ve never used any med like this and had never ever seen her doc? thx
always the same, darling, 50
thank you so much honey!
Better meet a doc, honey! ‘Cause “had never ever seen her doc” sounds like a diagnosis. Sory, but it’s true. Anyway, good luck!
50 ! I’ve made the same long way, and these pills worked in just about two months!!
Dear girls!!! Does it affect the PMS??? Sorry, but I didn’t manage to search it on the web, and it could be a REAL problem for me personally…
Hi! I’ve got the same problem (about to kill at PMS time LOL), but with the pills nothing, absolutely! I mean they’ve made me less agressive!
Sounds really good, thanks!!!
Did you start the course? How it’s going??? I’m curious and wish you good luck!
Wow thanks for worrying! Not yet, about to start! Have a nice day, darling!!!
cannot understand what’s typical
LOL
typical is for thyroid purposes
i’m on my BEST should i start takin’ the pills
How long have you been taking them, if it’s not a secret?
two months
Sorry, but what the *** is BEST? I’m about to start my first Clomid course, so maybe I should know that too…
I’m interested too… Search didn’t help LOL
Ladies, I need help, SOS!!! My doc says I should start with other fertility boosters which I DO NOT like! Would anyone please help with ANY idea to tell him PLEASE!!!!
Just change a doctor. Professionals should respect us and our opinion!
YEP! I’m tired of docs who TELL me what should I do! Let’s get free!!!
well maybe your doctor knows your tests results and your health conditions better than anyone here and that’s why he insists on other medicines since clomid doesn’t fit literally everyone think of it
Maybe. Anyway, I’ve changed a doctor, and the new one supports Clomid.
hi ladies and everyone. anyone had nausea while takin’ this med?
Hi! I’m on my second course right now, and I’ve got nausea too… My fellow doctor told it’s quite common. Good luck!
ME. It passes in a couple of weeks. But starts again with a new course. Unfortunately, it’s really quite common.
I didn’t understand, is it really safe for person with PCOS?
My sister (MD) prescribes it for this diagnosis. Ask your doctor.
It’s mentioned in this article. Anyone reads what they comment, ah?
Hey ladies, did anyone take it with contrindications? I should, and I will, just need some feedback to be aware of side effects etc.
Hi! I shouldn’t take it at all (endometriosis), by my doc still told me to try a three months course at a minimum dosage, so ask yours’ and good luck!
Thanks! Exactly my problem!!! What about side effects???
Extactly as written everywhere LOL but they’re tolerated (at least for me). Don’t worry and good luck!
Thanks, darking! I’m about to start!
Hi. I’m on my second course, and I’ve just decided to stop it all – my marriage, my attempts, etc. Could I just quit these pills? I don’t need a child ‘for myself’…
Honey, you can make your own choices ALWAYS! Good luck in anything you’d prefer!!! I’ve been in the same situation, and finally’ve decided to continue, so now I’m a happy (well, when I get enough sleep LOL) mom with another man, but every person has A WAY…
Thanks for support! I’ve decided to continue anyway…
hi girls i’ve got one very very special problem my bf’s interested in becomin’ a dad and insists on clomid and i do take the pills but do not want to get pregnant sooo is there any way to continue while takin’ smthng else to make clomid pills useless thanks
OMG that’s why I’ll NEVER believe ANY of you!!!!
oh god why the fck r u doin men
U’d only harm yourself, honey! Talk to him, or see your doctor (so he could talk to him LOL), or just do not take the pills. I won’t tell U should break up with this man, but…
Hi! When should I stop trying??? I’m on my (cannot count) course, four years of attempts, and still nothing!!! Tired…
Hi darling! Take a break! Worries will not help at all!
Thanks a lot!!!
I’ve got pregnant exactly two months after I’ve stopped trying at all. I mean don’t worry, some things just happen… and good luck anyway!
Thanks for your support!!!
WTF, I’ve found all the Stein-Leventhal syndrome symptoms in me!!!!
