Nolvadex affect on fertility?

Slightly informed speculation coming, so take what I offer with that in mind.

My guess is that clomid is the first course because in men, docs are likely trying to kill two birds with one stone: get an increase in test and an increase in fertility. Maybe they figure if we feel better, we will be more interested in makin' babies.

I have, perhaps erroneously, thought that Nolva has a greater positive impact on FSH than clomid does. When I have added low dose nolva to my Clomid hrt, my FSH goes up by a couple of points. That isn't a great test, because both are in play, just an observation.

HMG, I think, is the better choice for fertility versus HCG. I believe that HMG more closely mimics FSH and HCG more closely mimics LH, but once again, I'm not a doctor.

Wouldnt high FSH mean that the testes are not responding? (Feedback loop).

Your definitely right about hcg, atleast according to the research ive done. Hcg mimics LH to get the testes producing testosterone again. But i dont understand how that leads to sperm production on its own.

High FSH in the absence of increased sperm production would likely mean that the testicles are not functioning in regard to the production of sperm. Increasing FSH is a priority in the restoration of male fertility. I have never had my sperm count checked and truth be told, I don't think I ever will. It would NOT be cool to have gone through life not knowing that I was infertile. I most definitely would have changed some behavior!

Hahah!! Pretty sure theres at home sperm tests these days. Fsh and lh concepts are not the most basic things
