What is Clomid?

Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) primarily prescribed to treat infertility in men and women by stimulating either sperm production or ovulation. Clomid is usually prescribed to people with certain health conditions, such as women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or some forms of amenorrhea (when someone’s menstrual period stops). Clomid helps these people get pregnant by triggering the production of sex hormones, including follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) .

For men, Clomid may be prescribed off-label to treat secondary hypogonadism, a condition that can develop from extended steroid use. In secondary hypogonadism, the brain fails to tell the testes to produce sex hormones like testosterone. Because Clomid increases serum testosterone levels (the amount of testosterone in the blood), this fertility treatment is gaining popularity among bodybuilders and others interested in PCT.

What is PCT (post cycle therapy)?

Post cycle therapy, or PCT, is a protocol you follow after (or “post”) completing a cycle of anabolic steroids, a type of performance-enhancing drug (PED). While some PEDs can offer benefits such as muscle growth, they may also wreak havoc on other aspects of your physical health — especially your testosterone levels. When you take anabolic steroids, the drugs provide a heavy dose of testosterone. As a result, when you finish your cycle, your body experiences a sudden drop in testosterone.

While your body will naturally restart testosterone production, it can take months to years to return to normal hormonal levels. In the meantime, you may experience the effects of low testosterone, like decreased energy and libido, reduced muscle mass, and depression. Post cycle therapy can help speed this process up, safely giving your body a boost as it increases testosterone production.
