As far as choosing between the SERMS goes, most endos (in the U.S. Anyway) prefer clomid over Nolvadex for increasing testosterone in Men. This is why my old Endo put me on clomid instead of the other SERMS.

As far as the dick shrinking goes, I experienced this on clomid as well. My Endo thought that perhaps the clomid "acts as" an estrogen inside of our bodies in many diff ways that can't completely be explained.

Note I did a two year clomid restart under supervision of my Endo.
How much mg of clomid did you take per day?
I took 20mg nolva for 3 days and then 10mg it gave me a great reduction on gyno, better memory, libido etc. I'm considerably better. I read that clomid is better when taken alone, low dosage. I'm intending to do The same way I did with nolva. But clomid would be 12.5mg for a week or less.

Clomid also make the ER more sensitive to estrogen making your body use less estrogen.
