HCG combined with clomid to restore testicle size

I am on testosterone gel and HCG. I started the HCG (250 IUs three times per week) several years after starting the t-gel after noticing that my testicles had shrunk significantly. After starting the HCG, my testicles regained only about 30% of their original size. My doctor says I can add Clomid to my testosterone and HCG regimen to attempt to restore more testicle size. Is this advisable?

My doctor prescribed 50 mg of Clomid three times per week. I'm pretty drug sensitive and am considering starting with 25 mg of Clomid twice per week.

I would appreciate any any comments on this.

Thanks.
 
Clomid and exogenous testosterone at the same time? It's simply not done. They work against one another. Your testosterone injection shuts down your system's ability to produce testosterone; Clomid works to stimulate your body's natural production. It makes no sense for your doctor to have suggested you add Clomid to your protocol.

What at is your HCG dose?
 
I agree with CW, don't add Clomid. Your testicle size should come back with HCG. How long have you been using HCG?

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.
