The most common side effect of steroids is the gonad cycle. The reason the shrinkage happens is because the body stops production testosterone. Along with shrinkage it also causes decreased sperm count and also testicular atrophy. However, the results depend on the duration of intake, the dosage, and the administered steroid. Infertility is not completely noticeable. The changes in the gonads are completely reversible after termination of steroids (Benedict).

Most steroids cause a water and electrolyte imbalance in the body. This makes you retain water and sodium and can cause swelling in the edema (tissue). Users of steroids may also look bloated. Since there are more fluids in the body, the heart must transport it too, therefore, it may cause elevated blood pressure. The amount of bloated-ness depends on the dosage, and the administered steroid.

This side effect occurs in male athletes, it is the swelling of the breasts, otherwise known as Gynecomastia, also causing an increased tendency of fatty deposits. Another related cause is extr

emely soft muscles, which is due to aromatization. The estrogen levels increase significantly, causing female characteristics. Some users notice the swelling of the mammary glands. Gynecomastia goes away slowly after discontinuing the use of steroids, however, during use, anti-estrogens can help (www.anabolicreview.com)

Steroids can stunt growth potential of children and adolescents. Often cause short-term accelerated growth of the bones. Side effects are completely irreversible. There is only one steroid that does not cause it (Oxandrolone).

Psychic changes can be harmful and helpful at the same time. Steroids can cause aggressive behavior with high dosages and long-term consumption. This can be helpful by making one train harder and more intensely, but also harmful by the user not being able to cope with this, they may let anger out on others. Users get easily irritated, impatient, have a quick temper, and anger outbursts. Some males have the tendency to become depressive. Many steroid users don't realize that discontinuation of steroids will decrease weightlifting power. For example, people benching 400 lbs. while on steroids will gradually decrease to 300 lbs. when discontinuation occurs. Some may encounter ego problems (Benedict).

Clomid contains clomiphere citrate. Some people use trade names to refer to Clomid, they are: ardomon, clom50, Clomid, clomifen, clomifen, citrate, clomifen merck, clomipheni, citras, comivid, clostilbegyt, clufine, dyneric, gravosan, indover, lomefin, klomefin, kyliformon, omifin, porgotime, pioneer, prolifen, serofene, serophene, and takormon. Clomid is not an anabolic androgenic steroid. The group sex-hormones relates to Clomid better because it is a synthetic estrogen. School medicines use Clomid to trigger ovulation. It has a strong influence on the hypothalamohypophysial testicular axis. Stimulating the hypophysis releases more gonadotropin so that a faster and high release of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (lutenizing hormone) occurs, resulting in an elevated endogenous (body's own) testosterone level. Within 10 - 14 days, Clomid can normalize the testosterone level and the spermatogenesis; for this reason, Clomid is normally taken after steroids are discontinued. Clomid is a medication that promotes the production of the body's own stimulating hormone, gonadotropin, which in turn increases the testosterone level. Side effects of Clomid are very rare if reasonable dosages are taken. Climacteric, hot flashes, and occasional visual disturbances occur which can manifest themselves in blurred vision, giving
