Yeah, the surgeon said to wait until my hormone levels were balanced and check back in 6-12 months but she seemed to think SERMs could help when I mentioned them. As I stated above, I don't think they were the right people to talk in regards to my situation whereas someone like Dr. Tamler would...

Another update: So I got my sensitive estradiol blood test back on the 6th day and it was 8.1 out of (8.0 - 35.0) so the anastrozole definitely brought it down but it had little impact on the lumps and since I took more while also continuing my TRT protocol, I have no idea what my level's are...

I spoke to the doctor tonight and he said he recommends to stop TRT and to speak with an endo familiar with TRT and gyno. He mentioned Dr. John Crisler would be someone to possibly reach out to. He didn't give any other medical advice as far transitioning/weening off TRT. He just said to...

Current update: I went to see a surgeon and their practice specializes in gynecomastia surgery. I definitely have lumps on both sides with the right side more pronounced/larger than the left. She said it's too early to consider surgery and to check back in 6-12 months. On 1/18 I took...

Sorry, it's sometimes hard to gauge meaning through text. I spoke to my prime body rep and I asked for a sensitive blood test only because I think it will help in determining a protocol moving forward. Hopefully I can get that taken care of tomorrow in the AM and I'll be contacting Defy...

And I said that Dr. Saya said I might need tamoxifen. I never said that he said I should take it so I don't know where you're getting that from. I'm just pointing out that my doctor said to just stop and hasn't mentioned anything else about it.

Several changes? The only thing I did was take anastrozole to try and reverse the lumps based on a protocol I found on several TRT forums that stated .5mg EOD. Should I have re-consulted with the PrimeBody guy, yeah probably but when I originally told him I felt sensitivity and similar feelings...

I took my test and hcg this morning and shortly after I feel the lumps diminish a little, does this mean anything? I'll try and get in touch with Defy this week and start looking up doctors who are familiar with gyno. Do I discontinue the anastrozole or just cut it down to .25mg 1x a week...

Never mind, I just tried sending a PM to Dr. Saya and his settings don't allow it. Hopefully he comes back in here.

I know there are glands in that area that can mimic signs of lumps like if they get swollen, right? but it feels like there is definitely something behind the nipples like little peas. I think the anastrozole has minimized the size only slightly because on 1/10 both sides were feeling...

Well I give up now... This is from the Prime Body doctor: "Hi Belmundo, your estradiol level is perfect, I have never seen anyone with lumps below 70. If you feel lumps, I would stop all therapy until you can be examined by your primary are physician or general surgeon. No other SERM is...

Forgot to ask would the HCG 350iu 3x a week be better with 250iu 4x a week with the low SHBG?

Damn well this sucks. Once again, my self medicating has probably screwed me over. I know what low E2 is like (it's awful and so is low test) as I started out low 5.0 (Roche) out of 7.6 - 42.6. So I guess I'll stop taking the anastrozole as I don't think I took it soon enough to reverse the...

Thank you for your responses. I wasn't able to get blood work done until 1/10 and this was a trough reading. Since I couldn't wait for the results I began taking the AI. On 1/11 I took .5mg of anastrozole, 1/13 took another .5mg, 1/14 took .75mg, 1/16 .5mg. I only have enough to take me...

In your experience, will anastrozole reduce/remove these lumps once I start taking it if it turns out my E2 is too high? Also, do you know if there are NY/NJ doctors under Defy's network?
