HCG might have some risks as far as prions and Clomid makes most people that need testosterone feel like crap. It’s a shame we don’t have better options.
It's a risk/reward situation. I hope we find better options, but it seems like a really delicate situation. The studies in this area always seem really small, but the problem seems much bigger. I think people attribute failure to the other partner to such a great extent that people try for long enough that some healthy enough sperm do their job. It takes people a long time to seek help when it's really easy to check the sperm.
Oh no, at least as of a few years ago the recombinant HCG was super expensive. My insurance paid for $3000 of it and then stopped, which I believe was about 3 months for me.
