question from a user
I started trt few months back and been prescribed Enclomiphene 25mg twice weekly. I was wondering if I added HCG to that protocol to help keep fertility somewhat alive, is that plausible? If yes, what usually is the best protocol for HCG while on Enclomiphene and trt?

Are you saying that you're on Testosterone injections & Enclomiphene at the same time? Either way, we would suggest that if you're trying to have a child now or within the next 6 months that HCG would be a fine route to go. 75% of men tend to be able to have enough spermatic production on HCG while still on TRT to have a child, and the 25% will need to cycle off if it doesn't work until after.
If you're not looking to have a child now or in 6 months, you don't need to be on HCG unless you like the cosmetic aspect of it, as it doesn't add much to a TRT treatment with Testosterone injections already apart of it compared to the large cost increase it typically involves. If doing it for fertility, we have seen 500iu twice weekly be effective, but it does depending on the person & their budget. Some do more or less based on cost & it still tends to work for their needs.
