Today I want to talk about something I first heard about over 30 years ago — Clomid.
Back then, it was mostly used in the bodybuilding world, and later on, I even talked about it with porn stars… yeah, really.
I’ll break it all down — how it works, why people use it, the benefits, the downsides, and how to actually use it the smart way.
My Personal Experience With Clomid
I personally used Clomid about 25 years ago when I was looking to naturally boost my testosterone.
I didn’t want to take steroids. And after about a week or two, I noticed my testicles felt bigger and heavier.
Like, blue balls level at full.
I was producing so much sperm, my girlfriend joked she needed a raincoat. So, yeah… results.
But I also started getting moody.
Kinda down, sometimes emotional — even cried for no reason.
And at that age, everything was going well.
I didn’t connect the dots at first, but over time, I realized Clomid was likely the cause.
Oddly enough, my sex drive went down even though my testosterone was up.
So if you’re thinking about Clomid, or already on it, keep reading — I don’t want you making the same mistakes I did.
What Is Clomid and How Does It Work?
Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) is an oral medication classified as a SERM — Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator.
It was originally designed for women to treat infertility by increasing ovulation.
It works by blocking estrogen receptors in the brain, which tricks your body into thinking estrogen is low.
This signals the hypothalamus to release more GnRH, which triggers the pituitary to release more LH and FSH. In women, that means egg production.
In men, it stimulates the testicles to produce more testosterone and sperm.
Why Bodybuilders and Porn Stars Use It
I first heard about Clomid through bodybuilders.
After finishing a steroid cycle, their testicles would shrink and stop producing testosterone.
So they used Clomid (along with HCG and Nolvadex) during PCT (post-cycle therapy) to “wake up” their balls again. I cover HCG in more detail in HCG – the #1 test booster for bigger balls and TRT.
Later on, when I lived in the Valley — the heart of the porn industry back in the ’90s — I consulted with adult film actors.
They wanted to increase their ejaculation volume.
I recommended Clomid for short bursts (about 5–7 days), which gave them noticeable results without the side effects that come from long-term use.
The Problem With Long-Term Clomid Use
Here’s the issue: Clomid was originally intended to be used for just 5–10 days in women.
But today, HRT clinics are prescribing it to men at 50 mg every day… indefinitely.
That’s a problem. Taking it long-term increases the risk of:
- Mood swings and emotional instability
- Reduced sex drive (even if testosterone is high)
- Estrogen-like side effects despite estrogen being blocked
- Resistance and adaptation — your body stops responding
- Serious risks like blood clots, stroke, or heart attack (rare but real)
Most guys won’t feel these things immediately. It creeps up after a few weeks or months.
I’ve had tons of guys consult with me, all saying the same thing — “It worked great at first, now I feel worse.” Increasing the dose only makes it worse.
So What’s the Smart Way to Use It?
Over the years, I’ve found the best approach — and the one I used with those porn stars — is to cycle Clomid. Here’s a simple protocol that works:
- 1 week on Clomid (12.5–25 mg daily)
- 3–6 weeks on herbal testosterone boosters
This combo works because Clomid increases total testosterone, but not always free testosterone.
The right herbs (like in Alpha Viral) help boost free testosterone, and also help balance out DHT and estrogen.
That’s what keeps everything in harmony — testosterone levels, mood, libido, energy, and confidence.
Clomid vs. Enclomiphene (A Cleaner Version)
There are two types of Clomid: regular Clomiphene and the newer, cleaner version called Enclomiphene.
The regular version contains two isomers, and one of them tends to stick around and cause most of the moodiness and estrogenic side effects.
Enclomiphene:
- Has a shorter half-life
- Fewer mood or vision side effects
- Lower dosage required (12.5–25 mg)
That said, there’s not a lot of long-term safety data on Enclomiphene either. So my advice still stands — use it short-term only, cycle off, and support with proven herbal formulas.
Clomid vs. Testosterone Injections (TRT)
Let’s compare Clomid to testosterone injections:
TRT gives faster results, sure — but once you start, it’s hard to stop.
Your natural production shuts down, and it’s tough (and slow) to bounce back. I’ve seen it take guys months to recover… if at all.
Conclusion: What You Should Actually Do
If you’re thinking about using Clomid, here’s my recommendation:
- Use Enclomiphene if possible (cleaner version)
- Take it for one week max (12.5–25 mg daily)
- Follow with 3–6 weeks of herbal testosterone boosters
- Repeat as needed — but take breaks
Personally, I use Alpha Viril.
I’ve been taking it for over 25 years, and it works.
Or just copy the ingredients and buy them separately — I really don’t care.
What matters is that it works, it’s safe, and it keeps your hormones optimized.
Final tip: Don’t jump into TRT injections unless you’ve exhausted all other options. Once you start, it’s hard to stop.
Clomid – when used smartly – gives you a shot at boosting testosterone naturally, keeping your testicles working, and avoiding long-term side effects.
