question from a user

Is there any point in taking hcg and clomid at the same time? Would hcg cancel clomid's effect out? Like clomid trying to kick pituitary to function while hcg trying to shut it down?

AlphaMD's Answer

There are no studies on this practice of using both at the same time, but logically speaking, using them together doesn’t really make sense. HCG attaches to the LH receptor, and prevents real LH from attaching there. HCG attaches for a much longer time (for days) whereas LH attaches for a burst in the morning and then releases. The prolonged attachment to the receptor causes LH receptor down regulation, making the natural LH production less effective. For the purposes of testosterone production, hCG and SERMs together makes no sense.
