Hcg vs enclomiphene

[D0nnyt]

I have been on trt for a couple years now. I’ve also ran a couple small light cycles over the two years. I have been taking Hcg off and on throughout the past two years. I have dealt with aromatization throughout my 2 years of TrT and the couple cycles.
More than the average person. I have come to realize, the Hcg is most likely the culprit, as the testosterone produced naturally aromatizes easily. Once I stopped taking Hcg, my symptoms and e2 levels went down. I don’t want my testicular to completely atrophy. Will enclomiphene help with testicular size, seminal volume, ejaculate quality. Or would FSH only be a better option? I don’t want to have to keep taking arimidex even when cruising due to neurotoxicity. Any suggestions or options are appreciated. Tia.

while enclo. works well off TRT, on TRT it's output will like a milder HCG (testicular T is 50-100 times the serum T so it will aromatize to some degree), so enclo Too raises systemic E2 but not to the runaway extent of HCG.

"FSH only" likely would not help with testes size, the good thing about enclo is the HPG axis feedback mechanism is still there so even taking low doses of 1.25-2.5 every other day will be enough to preserve some size.

Low-dose enclo is your cleanest compromise, accept that some E2 elevation is unavoidable if any LH function is to be preserved at all, for most men, that tradeoff at those doses would likely be manageable without needing an AI.

I want to avoid AI at all cost, i dont even want to see it as a Tool (it is but i dont want to)
