is there any point in taking clomid for more than 4 weeks?

[cal]

im coming off for good as stated in previous post...

it was a long cycle and im not sure how shut down i am. i just started day 8 of clomid therapy at 100mg.

day one i took 300, 2-7 150mg of clomid. i will for sure run the clomid for at least 4 weeks. would there be any point...in taking it for 6 weeks?

i think that i will have an endo screen done a few monts after clomid is finished...

There is no point unless you have an estrogen rebound and don't have a stronger anti on hand. 4 weeks will get the job done.

Not sure exactley what happens, but I have heard you really don't want to run Clomid for more than 3 weeks at a time... It supposedly begins to show negative effects. Can anyone elaborate?

I thought I would wait to post something helpful for my first post, so here goes:

Remember: Everyone's body does not act the same!

My last cycle was an eight week cutting cycle using fina only. When I came off, I followed the standard four week clomid therapy.
Well, for that month I felt perfectly fine... I even felt fine for about a week after coming off the clomid so I thought everything was back to normal. It wasn't.
Approximately (sp?) a week after stopping the clomid I got REAL depressed. I'm talking almost to the point of clinical depression, and for ABSOLUTLY NO reason...or so I thought. I also had no motivation to do anything and almost felt like killing myself.
I didn't know what the hell was going on. Also should point out I had NO interist in girls what-so-ever.
Well, after about three and a half weeks, I'm sitting at work (I work at a night club part time) when all of a sudden I notice that I am starting to check out chicks again and that I don't feel so bad.
The next morning I woke up and BAM! It was one of the best days of my life! I could actually feel my body surging with my natural test again! It was like a damn switch had been thrown an it opened back up my boys!
I later concluded that I had never recovered after the clomid therapy. I probably felt fine for about a week after coming off the clomid due to the extremely long half life of the drug (about 5 days).
Basically, it took me a full two months after my last shot to fully get my test back! All I am saying, is have enough clomid on hand to run it longer than the standard one month if need be, just in case. Believe you me, NO TEST PRODUCTION = DEEP DEPRESSION.
For all future cycles, I will have at least 2 months worth of clomid on hand, just in case. I never want to go through that again!

By the way, when my test did come back, it came back REALLY hard and REALLY fast, like all in a 24 hour period. Man did that feel great!

p.s. Has this ever happened to anyone besides me?

adonis,
thanks for the info.

yes, if my test came back within two months i would be pretty happy to say the least. i feel quite depressed right now, im not sure if it is low test, or anxiety and worry over law school and law school finances. my interest in sex right now is about 0%. i think the vast majority have a greater interest in sex than myself at this time.
