Imbalanced Testosterone/Estrogen hormones

Postby Low_Testosterone » Sat Nov 15, 2008 1:37 pm

Hi
I am a male of 26 years of age and suffering from low testosterone. Due to which I had erection problem and other low testosterone symptoms. My urologist prescribed me clomid (25mg a day) for 2 months. I recovered a lot in that 2 months but then by the end of the second month I again started having problems with my sexual arousal and I started gaining weight and fat particularly at abdomen. My blood work showed that testosterone had risen but even estradiol had risen, which made my T/E ratio to 11:1.

Seeing this my urologist stopped clomid and prescribed me with arimidex for a month (1mg tablet, one daily). At the end of the month my T/E ratio was 40:1 and I felt great in all aspects. My sexual response and sensitivity to arousal had increased. I could feel weight loss and felt more energetic.

But my insurance is not willing to cover arimidex (they say it is a medicine for females for breast cancer), and I can not afford to buy it on my own. I was thinking to suggest my urologist to prescribe me dosage combining clomid and arimidex, so that I don't end up paying for 30 day supply of arimidex.

Is anyone tried, the combinaton of clomid and arimidex, if yes what would be the optimal dosage? Since now my solution is to balance, rather decrease estradiol (which is formed by aromatase enzymes), can anyone suggest me any cheaper option for aromatase inhibition?

Thanx
