Short answer
For the testosterone blood level, a phase II trial reported a rise within a fortnight.[1]
A separate trial reported testosterone at a similar level on enclomiphene and on gel at 6 months, with wide spread between men (the source gives pg/dL, as printed).[2]
How long studies ran
The studies pooled in a meta-analysis ran for 1.5-4 months, so the timing data stop at about four months.[3]
