Prescribed 10mg/day Nolvadex

[Ocelot]

The endocrinologist I went to wasn't willing to give it to me initially because it's "very minor" gyno but I pressed him nonetheless and he recommended Nolvadex.

I'm aware it's a SERM, so by that logic I shouldn't experience any decreases in testosterone, since the estrogen receptors of the breast alone are affected, right?

Any other things I should know before taking it?

Depending on your age I might recommend an AI instead.

for what purpose exactly?

I asked him for an AI and he said he wouldn't recommend an AI due to negative effects on bone density as well as increased risk of side effects especially at my age; I'm 17.

This study shows in boys that there was no negative effect on bone mineral density
There was another on finnish boys with ISS that showed improvements in mbd. Your doctor is basing that on grannies with breast cancer, in boys as long as you don't crash your Estrogen it will increase bone density because having a high T:E ratio increases it.

Also bad side effects at low dosages have been negligible, and it can increase height, so it's in my stack https://looksmax.org/threads/starting-my-extra-chromosome-based-height-maxxing-stack.340501/ It's worth doing some of your own research and bringing this up with your doctor.

idc about height anymore I stopped coping when I got my xray at 16 showing almost entirely fused knee epiphyses
I've grown maybe 1-2 cm max in the last three years.

My T is already ~99th percentile so I doubt my E would be so high so as to off-set that.

99th percentile? what is it in ng/dl?

Dude you are on 10th grade and know more than an endocrinologist?

No I’m in year 12 in England and applying to study biochemistry at the top unis here. There are also plenty of endocrinologists who specialise in other areas than pubertal boys and as a result lack knowledge on the subject but nevertheless practice in that area for cash.

I’m also Not claiming to know more either, but instead stating that there can be instances where an ai would be preferable to a serm. This is not one however because op has very high testosterone levels.
