HPTA Restart:
Is there a certain criteria that I should follow? I have access to Nolvadex (as well as HCG) and plenty of it and would be willing to start as soon as I get my test results back this coming week.

Tested Cortisol this morning, will report back with results tomorrow.

I have Nolvadex 20mg and Toremifene 60mg, wondering which one I should take for my HPTA restart.

You can find a lot searching here.

CBC looks great, did not include anything iron related. However, items 2,3,4 suggest that iron is OK.

OK perfect, I’ll figure out which one I want to take and start that after I post my Cortisol test.

I also have just received my Milk Thistle, Vit D3 @5000 and B Complex and will start that immediately. Iodine (Lugol’s solution) is en route, I’m really hoping it helps with my energy levels and overall feeling of well-being because I don’t even feel alive right now if that makes any sense.

Can’t thank you and everyone else that’s contributed enough.

Ok, AM CORTISOL test back

Cortisol: 18.3 ug/dl range: 2.3-19.4

Significant?

Cortisol is good! -but can be elevated if you are stressed at the time.

How did you feel that morning in terms of energy and resilience?

Ok glad thats good. The last few days have been really bad, tired and yawning all day, from wake up till bed time. Eyes have been extra heavy and circles are just as apparent. Nolva should be in early next week and I’ll start at 20 mg a day and see how I feel. I also took two drops of Lugols 2% iodine solution this morning.

Alright, starting Nolvadex tonight (with Exemestane 12.5 mg on hand if my E2 were to rise for any reason, although from what I’ve read Nolva doesn’t do this nearly as much as Clomid does).

I will be taking 20 mg every day for 4 weeks, maybe take one every other day for the last week but I haven’t decided. I’ll let you all know how I feel.

Thanks for all the advice.

You must taper out of the SERM slowly, not perhaps EOD for last week!
