Enclomiphene vs TRT: Which to Consider First Quick Answer Try enclomiphene (or clomiphene) first if you're a good candidate — here's why: Enclomiphene First Makes Sense If You: Want to preserve fertility (TRT shuts down sperm production) Are younger (under 40-45) Have secondary hypogonadism (pituitary/hypothalamus issue, not testicular failure) Want your body to produce its own testosterone Are concerned about testicular atrophy How it works: Stimulates your own LH/FSH production naturally Go Straight to TRT If You: Have primary hypogonadism (testicular failure) Have already completed your family Haven't responded to enclomiphene Need more consistent, predictable hormone levels Specific Options to Discuss With Your Doctor: Enclomiphene: Tlando, or compounded versions through Defy Medical or Maximus Tribe TRT providers: Defy Medical, Fountain TRT, or your urologist/endocrinologist Most Important Step Get bloodwork first — total testosterone, free testosterone, LH, FSH, and estradiol — to determine why your levels are low. This decision really depends on your lab results and goals. A good men's health specialist makes all the difference.
