HCG and fertility

So, I am 27M and I have been diagnosed with 1.21ng/ml Total T. My GP says he will do my tests again to confirm and then send me to the specialist for therapy(perhaps). My major concern is fertility(I want kids someday!).I've read that we need to combne TRT with HCG to maintain fertility and have a few questions:
  1. how does one calculate how much HCG will result in how much natural T production?
  2. If HCG promotes natural T production-why do people combine it with TRT,why not just take HCG?
  3. Also, if one wants to remain fertile, how to know how much HCG is to be mixed with the TRT(in case people want to take TRT as well).Any study/calculator?
  4. Connected to number 3,I've read that HCG keeps fertility but Ive also read when planning to conceive add HMG/clomid? What's the purpose of hmg/clomid.IF Hcg keeps you fertile , why add these ?
 
I had my consult with Mike Linkous with Defy. He was pretty informative and gave his opinion on what I should do. He said that due to my age (30 and possibly wanting to have children) is it recommended that I try to jumpstart my system by raising LH through the use of a Clomid or HCG. I chose Clomid (haven’t ordered anything yet). He recommended I take 12.5 per day. Then get basic labs and have another consult in 2 months. This should also raise my estrogen levels so I don’t feel so dry.

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.
