Why not low dose clomiphene instead of HCG on TRT?
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
