Clomid+hCG is stupid. Clomid causes your pituitary to produce LH+FSH and depending on dose, that is frequently too high. Cause large amounts of T–>E2 inside the testes from too much LH receptor stimulation. hCG also acts just like LH, so now the problem is worse.
Is this your idea or some deranged doctors idea?
