I had blood work done about a week ago.

My Estradiol was in the high range. It was 49.3 pg./ml. Their range is (8.0-35.0)



My Testosterone was high, according to Lab Corp.
The Total was 1062 ng./ml. Their range is (264-936)


and the Free was 37.0 pg/ml. Their range is (8.0-35)


I have Arimidex 1 mg. tablets, but i'm concerned about what dose to take and when to take it. i want to start taking the A.I., but I want to take enough and i don't want it to go too low.

I'm taking .5cc per week split into 2 doses. (100mg total).

What's the best thing to do?

Thanks

Sounds like trt to me. I would do .5 twice per week on the days you inject.

What are you currently dosing? For me, that TT would push my E2 up but not much over 35 pg/ml. E2 at 30 is my sweet spot.

I’d probably do .25mg on injection days for 2 weeks and test again.
That may be too many days between though, if you feel e2 symptoms, switch your dose to every 3rd day, as annoying as it will be to remember...

I don’t know what everybody experiences from ai, but I get irritable. Less=better for me

Sounds like you are asymptotic but want your e2 within range.

If if that's the case I second the .25mg 2x/wk option. .5 is too much imo.

Run That for a month and get bloods pulled again.

You kinda have to play with it and see what works for you. With my trt dose it’s .5 twice a week though I run 200mg.

How do u feel ? Any bad sides? That's not that high and I wouldn't even mess with an AI unless u have some shitty sides. Just my opinion.

I just switched from adex twice a week to aromisan 12.5 eod. I feel much better on the aromisan than the adex. Is this common?

I'm doing TRT.
I'm not sure whether to lower my Test, which was slightly high, according to them, or to continue with the same dose and add anastrozole.
Thank you Snake

So, are you saying to maintain the same Testosterone dose, but start taking 1/2 tablet, twice per week?

I have 1mg. Arimidex.
I guess I should get some liquid instead, so I can take a lower dose.
Thank you

I do and I tend to get polycythemia too.
I used to do a higher TRT dose and take AI.
Now, I'm taking a low dose and no AI and my E is high.
I don't want to bottom out.

I've done that dose at times too, but I was taking Anastrozole.
I'm not taking any now, because my Test dose was so low. I still tested high in both Testosterone and Estradiol on 100mg (50mg twice per week) of TEST

you should lower your test dose. You're already above range. You can afford to take a bit less with no adverse effects.

Why add another drug when you can simply reduce another slightly?

too much imo.

pill splitter. Buy it at cvs. I have the same pills. You can quarter them.

I don't want to bottom out my E.
I'm taking a pretty low Test dose too.

200mg/wk is not a low dose of test. A lot of guys here run more than they need for trt to be effective.

I do and I tend to get polycythemia too.
I used to do a higher TRT dose and take AI.
Now, I'm taking a low dose and no AI and my E is high.
I don't want to bottom out.

All the more reason to decrease test dose slightly. Try 160-180 for a month then retest.

I guess I feel ok. I don't feel all of the benefits you're supposed to experience from test.
I do get morning wood. haha. Nipples are slightly sore to touch or bump into something. I don't think I have gyro.
