Based on how you've responded, and how adding that has gone - We'd suggest swapping to injectable TRT & HCG for fertility instead. The main issue with any use of Clomid or Enclomiphene is that it suppress IGF-1 production. So even if you add other things to the mix while continuing to take that, the issue remains. IGF-1 is responsible for much of the physical benefits you expect from TRT & lack of this may be the reason you feel lack of benefits. The main time that we may use Enclomiphene over traditional TRT is when someone is a relative hypogonadal patient with an already high Testosterone production level. If they have low production to begin with, there isn't much point in boosting it & lowering IGF-1 at the same time.
For fertility, HCG may be more expensive, but it does not cause the same issues. Additionally, many men tend to either use low amounts of HCG or none at all until 2-3 months before a conception window which they then boost up to moderate to high levels.
To confirm this, you could always test your IGF-1, but either way you will almost certainly "feel" better with traditional TRT.
This may not be the answer you like, but it may be best not to combine them. Here's the reasoning: Clomid & Enclomiphene can both inhibit IGF-1 in the body, which is responsible for a lot of the physi... See Full Answer

While you can, we would suggest to not if you're interested in the fitness aspects of TRT (which most men are). Enclomiphene is nice because it doesn't impact fertility the same way that Testosterone ... See Full Answer
