Thanks guys.  It does sound like I'm in for a ride at this point. 

CoastWatcher - thanks for the hopeful thought.  I mean, I'm sure a ton of guys get help from pellets.  It's a question of the cost, risks and the guesswork that the doc has to do.  If I had been on injections/gels for a while and we knew what my body needed I'd feel much more comfortable at this point.  He has me coming back in 5 weeks for my labs (just total T and Estrogen).  He said that it's a common misconception that Free T needs to be checked all the time since it tends to mirror total T and therapy is best monitored by Total T.  His protocol is to shoot for pellets being inserted every 4 months give or take depending on labs and how I feel.

Vince - apparently I can't get them out...without major surgery.  After checking out the youtube, it makes sense...those suckers are in there deep.

Question, how would I know symptom wise if my estrogen crashes.

I'll keep you guys posted on how I feel.
