question from a user
If possible. How common are blood clots with HCG? And does HCG directly increase hypercoagulability by itself or indirectly via increased Testosterone?
AlphaMD's Answer
They are not a common side effect of the medication at all, nor is it considered common to Testosterone either. If it were to impact it, it would be via the Testosterone as you say, but that would require willful ignoring of high RBC count & a refusal to donate blood or drop dose more than the medication itself in any way.
