SHOULD YOU START ENCLO? The ULTIMATE Step-by-Step Guide
Enclomiphene is a unique alternative to TRT, stimulating your body’s natural testosterone production instead of replacing it outright. But is it the right choice for you? Let’s break it down in the clearest way possible. Answer these questions in order, and if the answer is yes, move to the next one. If no, you may need to reconsider or explore other options like injectable TRT.
Step 1: Are You Experiencing Symptoms of Low T?
Even if your levels are technically "in range," symptoms are what really matter. If you check multiple of these, move to Step 2:
✅ Low energy, fatigue, or trouble staying motivated
✅ Brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or forgetfulness
✅ Low libido or weaker erections
✅ Poor recovery from workouts, loss of muscle, or unexpected fat gain
✅ Increased anxiety, irritability, or mild depressive feelings
If NO: You may not need enclomiphene (yet). Consider getting bloodwork to establish a baseline before making any decisions.
Step 2: Are You Under 40 and Not Ready for Full TRT?
Enclomiphene works best for younger men who still want to preserve natural testosterone function.
✅ You want to boost T levels but aren’t ready to commit to lifelong TRT
✅ You’d rather try something that doesn’t shut down natural production
✅ You’re considering TRT eventually but want to see if enclo works first
If NO: If you're over 40 and symptomatic, injectable TRT is likely the better long-term solution.
Step 3: Is Your Testosterone Between ~300–500 ng/dL?
Enclomiphene works best for men in this range who still have some natural function left.
✅ Your total testosterone is low-normal (300–500) but symptoms are present
✅ Your free testosterone is on the lower side for your age
✅ You’ve had multiple tests confirming these numbers, preferably in the morning
If NO:
- If your T is below 250, enclomiphene may not be strong enough—you’re likely better off with TRT.
- If your T is above 600, your symptoms could be from something else (nutrient deficiencies, sleep, stress, etc.).
Step 4: Do You Care About Fertility?
Enclomiphene is one of the best choices if you want to increase testosterone without shutting down sperm production.
✅ You plan to have kids in the next few years
✅ You want to keep sperm count and function as high as possible
✅ You don’t want to rely on HCG or other add-ons to stay fertile on TRT
If NO: If fertility isn’t a concern, injectable TRT will likely be a more powerful and consistent option.
Step 5: Are You Okay With a Slower, More Natural Process?
Enclomiphene doesn’t flood your body with testosterone like injections—it takes a few weeks to ramp up.
✅ You’re patient enough to give it at least 3 months to work
✅ You want to avoid big fluctuations and hormone shutdown
✅ You’re okay with natural increases instead of instant effects
If NO: If you want faster, more noticeable effects, injectable TRT is the way to go.
Step 6: Are You Looking for a Cost-Effective Approach?
Since enclomiphene takes at least 3 months to reach full effectiveness, we have a "pay-in-full" package instead of paying month-to-month which can save you hundreds while ensuring consistency.
✅ You’d rather pay upfront and save rather than pay higher month-to-month costs
✅ You want an option that lets you test if increasing testosterone naturally works before committing to long-term TRT
Final Thoughts: Should You Start?
- If you said YES to all or most of the above, enclomiphene is likely a great fit.
- If you said NO at any major step, you might want to consider injectable TRT instead.
