question from a user
Can HCG be used alongside Clomid for fertility proposes? For example 1500iu EOD and 25mg Clomid ED until conception.
AlphaMD's Answer
There are some providers who recommend that, though bear in mind HCG and the LH produced from Clomid use compete for the same receptor.
It;s like two guys (hCG and LH) trying to dance with the same girl (LH receptor). She can only dance with one of them, while the other one stands around like a fool.
Use of one or the other is recommended, but not both, because taking both means you are cancelling out the effects of the other.
For fertility purposes, Clomid wins because it also elevates FSH, which hCG does not.
