Alesse - Aygestin (Generic) , Alesse birth control pills are a combination estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and progesterone (levonorgestrel) pill. They function by preventing the release of an egg from the ovaries. Additionally, they change the cervical mucus and uterine lining to make it harder for the sperm to reach an egg, should one be released.

Aygestin -  Aygestin is used for: Treating certain menstrual problems or uterine problems (eg, abnormal bleeding, endometriosis). It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. Aygestin is a progestin hormone. It works by altering the lining of the uterus.


ClomidClomid (Generic) , Clomid is the most well-known fertility drug, probably because it is the most commonly used. And with good reason. About 25% of female factor infertility involves a problem with ovulation, and clomiphene citrate, as a fertility drug, is easy to use (taken as a pill, not an injection), with not too many side effects, is pretty inexpensive compared to other fertility drugs, and is effective in stimulating ovulation 80% of the time.

Evecare -  Evecare has a regularizing influence on the menstrual cycle by virtue of its uterine stimulant action. Evecare's stimulatory effect on the ovarian tissue helps regularizing endogenous hormonal secretion, enhances the repair of the endometrium and thus controls abnormal uterine bleeding.

The immunomodulatory and hematinic properties of Evecare are beneficial in anemia and the generalized weakness, associated with uterine disorders.

Nolvadex (Generic) , This drug is used as a first line defense against breast cancer. In the late 80´s, Dan Duchaine speculated that it could also be used by bodybuilders to halt the development of another type of tumor in the mammary gland, Gynocomastia. He introduced this find to the Steroid-using-community in his "Contest Prep" issue of the UnderGround Steroid Handbook Update Newsletters (the contest prep-issue was actually 3 issues in one, for those who had a subscription to the newsletter).

Nolvadex is commonly referred to in quite a few ways: as a SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator), as an anti-estrogen (that is actually incorrect, as we will later see), and finally as a triphenylethylene. I happen to stick with calling Nolvadex a SERM, because out of my three options, it happens to be correct (as we know that calling it an anti-estrogen is incorrect), and pronouncable (as we know that I have no idea how to say "triphenylethylene"). Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) act as either estrogen receptor agonists or antagonists in a tissue-selective manner, lets see what that means to us&

Nolvadex actually has quite a few applications for the steroid using athlete. First and foremost, it´s most common use is for the prevention of gynocomastia. Nolvadex does this by actually competing for the receptor site in breast tissue, and binding to it. Thus, we can safely say that the effect of tamoxifen is through estrogen receptor blockade of breast tissue (1), especially since total body estradiol increases with use of tamoxifen. Clearly, if you are on a cycle which includes steroids which convert to estrogen, you may want to consider nolvadex as a good choice to run along side them.


Noroxin -  Combined oral contraceptives like Norimin work by over-riding the normal menstrual cycle. In a woman's normal menstrual cycle, levels of the sex hormones change throughout each month. The hormones cause an egg to be released from the ovaries (ovulation) and prepare the lining of the womb for a possible pregnancy. At the end of each cycle, if the egg has not been fertilised the levels of the hormones fall, causing the womb lining to be shed as a monthly period.

Norplant - Norplant-72 (Generic) , Norplant is an effective, long-acting, reversible contraceptive for women that protects for up to five years. Six thin, flexible capsules made of a soft, rubberlike material, filled with a synthetic progestin, are inserted just under the skin of a woman's upper arm in a minor surgical procedure. The implants do not contain estrogen. Protection is generally provided within 24 hours after the insertion, and the woman rapidly returns to her normal fertility when the implants are removed. The most common side effect is change in menstrual bleeding patterns.

Ovral -  Ovral® , Lo Ovral contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary).
