Endo prescribed 2.5 Letrozol instead of trt

[Sparta12]

I even look at letro and my joints start to crack haha

Well the results came in! And yall were right about my doc unfortunately... after 3 months of letro 2.5mg every 3 days, my test went from about 350 to about 500(but i suspect my test would of been a little higher, night before my lab work i had terrible sleep and and had my labs late in the afternoon). So then i started to express my concerns about joint pain and libido, he said "ohhhh, i don't think its from the letro. I said no, not directly, but having low estro can cause those symptoms. So that's when i asked about my estradiol numbers, he said "i don't know, i didn't order that in your lab work". SMH.

So that's when i asked him about chlomid. Short story short, he said ok. We can try 25mg ed. And yes, he has estradiol on ny bloodwork for next visit

But yall were right, libido and joints aren't doing so hot. The worst by far is shoulder day. "Snap pop crackle".

Are you going to stay on Letro and add the Clomid, or switch from Letro to Clomid? If you're ending the Letro, then I suggest tapering it down slowly to try and avoid an estrogen rebound.

Here it is. He also checked psa.

I am.

 

[beefyfan]

I am.

Me too. When you mentioned your Henry Ford Chart, I had to ask. Are you in the metro Detroit area? I'm a downriver rat by birth but live in Livonia now.

I was prescribed ralox for two reasons;

A) Gyno I got from an early cycle in my early twenties that flared up like crazy out of nowhere (haven’t used hormones in years)

B)blood work
Free T is 42.9pg/ml
Available 90ng/dl
Total 329ng/dl

Been taking 60mg daily for 45 days. Gyno is almost 90% gone and anecdotally speaking I FEEL great. Lost a little weight but we train a lot with work too.

I wasn’t ready to go the TRT route, so we went with ralox for the two fold help.
