question from a user
Would you say that TRT with hCG is a much better option for someone that wants to maintain fertility as opposed to Enclomiphene mono therapy? I was considering starting a Enclomiphene but after reading this I am having second thoughts. I thought a lot of the side effects effects from Clomid were not as prevalent with Enclomiphene ?

We would say that, yes. In general although Enclomiphene appears to have less side effects than Clomid, it has not been around as long as these other therapies and the long term effects are not 100% know. What is known however is that just like Clomid that Enclomiphene will suppress your IGF-1 production. The classical portion of TRT typically associated with physical benefits & fitness that people expect on therapy. This is less of an issue if you have a very high baseline production of hormones but if you are someone with low Testosterone overall you will certainly notice the lack of benefit in this department.
