How Enclomiphene works
Your pituitary gland releases hormones called LH and FSH, which tell the testes to make testosterone and sperm. Enclomiphene blocks estrogen’s feedback signal in the brain, so the pituitary sends a stronger signal.
Because your own body is making the testosterone, sperm production is generally preserved.
What to expect
Everyone responds differently. Your provider checks in and adjusts your plan along the way.
Before you start
Labs and a video visit confirm low testosterone and a working pituitary signal.
Weeks 4–6
Follow-up labs check your testosterone and estrogen levels.
Ongoing
Your provider adjusts your dose based on your labs and how you feel.
Is it right for you?
Your provider makes the final call after reviewing your health history and labs.
Often a good fit

Usually not a fit

- Liver disease
- Uncontrolled thyroid or adrenal problems

Enclomiphene questions
Enclomiphene or TRT?
TRT replaces testosterone directly and can lower sperm count. Enclomiphene helps your body make its own. If fertility matters to you, it's often the first option to discuss.
Is it the same as Clomid®?
Clomid® (clomiphene) contains two forms, enclomiphene and zuclomiphene. Enclomiphene is the form that raises testosterone, while zuclomiphene stays in the body longer.
Is enclomiphene FDA-approved?
No. It is compounded by a state-licensed pharmacy. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved or reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.
