question from a user
What have you found to be best for fertility with your patients, clomid or something like hcg+fsh? Obviously people react differently on different meds, but generally speaking.
AlphaMD's Answer
With our patients, we have had more success with hCG. This may have to do with the fact that more of our patients prefer hCG to clomid. Every patient we have placed on hCG with their TRT that has had a semenalysis was fertile. We have never had a patient need to use something like gonadorelin.
