[QUOTE="DrTRT, post: 98833, member: 17686"] I had read a lot about nolvadex on here and other forums and how it might be an improvement over clomid, but I didn't want to overextend initially with self treatment hence why I tried going to more "senior" doctors, only to share the experience of most that a lot of physicians aren't really used to dealing with hypogonadism, specially in someone my age. The other issue for me is that my problem is two fold: even if nolvadex gave me less estrogenic side effects, my T would never reach a satisfactory level because of the hemi-orchiectomy. Otherwise clomid would have at least got me a higher level. Since I do a lot of procedures I have 0 fear of needles and I knew I'd be able to better titrate my treatment. As an aside, I'm happy to report that after 6 injections (ie two weeks Mon-Wed-Fri, and 6 because I figured by then I'd for sure reach steady state given the half life) on the day after an injection before 8am my labs were: Total T: 924 ng/dl Free T: 262.4 pg/ml Estradiol: 48 pg/ml I'll obviously have to titrate my anastrazole dose from 1/3mg QOD to maybe 1/2mg QOD and repeat labs in 4 weeks, but otherwise the difference is significant in terms of symptoms.
