Hello all,

Why is it not possible to use clomiphene instead of HCG on TRT? Both stimulate the testes, the other directly and the other indirectly, right?

I`ve tried finding an answer to this and I have read several discussions on other boards, but there does not seem to be a satisfactory answer to this. Several posters says it`s not a good idea, but there is not a single poster who can explain why.

I have a friend who`s been using TRT (now Nebido) for years, but without HCG. I convinced him that he should consider HCG, but he`s very stubborn and wants to try clomiphene instead. I told him my personal opinion which is that I don`t know if it works, but that there seems to be a lot of people who thinks it`s not a good idea.

Any ideas?

I would be much more practical to simply take a pill three times a week. HCG presents a challenge when travelling due to storage issues, although one could possibly solve that by using synthetic HCG (which does not require cold storage if I`m correct).

Thankful if anyone can clear up this for me.

Regards,

Renholder
