A member asked:

Please tell me.after use clomid, (clomiphene) will be there more negative feedback because of higher testosterone and estrogen?

See your doctor...: Clomid (clomiphene) increases male fertility as well as female fertility. Since it binds to estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, there is no negative feedback on gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) in the pituitary gland. Most people your age are not interested in having babies. Some men take it off-label instead of testosterone to increase virility. Talk to your doctor for more information.

No.: It works on the hypothalamus by interfering with the negative feedback mechanism of FSH production in the anterior pituitary. More FSH leads to more graffian follicle maturation and a higher chance of ovulation. Usually FSH will decline and a dominant follicle develops instead of multiple follicles.
