[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 62259, member: 2624"] An AI is never called for as a routine part of a TRT protocol when starting therapy. One only initiates Anastrozole when a test of estradiol (using the sensitive, LC, MS/MS, only) indicates your level is elevated, and you have symptoms that can be attributed to the higher level. You take anastrozole for any other reason, or at any other time, you are buying a ticket to misery. Estradiol is not a waste product, it's an important hormone for sexual and general health. Will a restart work? Well, not if you are dealing with primary hypogonadism. But are you? Your LH and FSH aren't sky high...even more reason to work with an experienced Doctor who will know if a Clomid protocol is even a possibility. Rather than approach a doctor, any doctor, with what you believe is in your best interest, I'd suggest you approach a doctor with the questions you want answered (the answers will determine for you what is in your best interest). Lead with your concerns abiut a restart - is it possible, if so, what are odds of success? What experience does this doctor have in managing a restart? If not, what about TRT? Ask for details on the types of protocols he/she favours. What at are your thoughts at this point on doctors/locating one? [/QUOTE]
