Currently on TRT, hcg, fsh. Contemplating dropping test

Hi there. I’m 34 and been on trt for several years now. We have recently been trying for a baby. Before I started fsh I did a YO at home SA. As you probably guess, I came up low and there were hardly any swimmers in the video. Started 2000 hcg a week as well as 40iu fsh 3x a week. After being on that protocol roughly 3 months I took another at home test still low but noticeably more activity on the video. Since then I’ve upped hcg to 3000/week and fsh to 75iu 3x a week. We are kind of in a hurry to conceive so I’m considering dropping TRT for now. My question is, I have Clomid on hand, should I add it (if I can tolerate it? Would it be more effective? I’ve read in the past that people drop clomid before they start fsh. Any reason the two can’t be ran together?
 
With that dosage, If HCG and FSH are not working then i dont think so clomid will be helpful. It takes time i guess. Also, u dont have to stop trt if ur taking hcg n fsh. Thats the whole purpose otherwise if ur stopping trt then u can just use clomid to increase ur natural lh n fsh production.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
