Anastrazole dosing while on TRT and bloodwork

[Shady1991]

Hi all, hoping someone can help.
I’ve been on 150mg TestE per week split into 2 shots. I’ve been taking anastrazole at 0.5mg 24hours after each shot, so 1mg per week. I’ve noticed that I’m having some issues with erections and libido, and wondering if perhaps it could be AI related.
I’ve had blood work down a few times in the last couple of months. Since I’m from Australia we only have the standard assay and not sensitive. My numbers the last two times came back at 22, and 10 pg/ml after I convert from pmol/l. 22pg/ml being the most recent. Since this isn’t the sensitive, would that mean I’m potentially too low? Would the general consensus be to cut back the AI to 2 x 0.25mg per week instead (total 0.5mg/wk)?
If so, how long after cutting back th AI should I get bloods to recheck levels?
TIA

plenty of guys on that low of a dose of test do not need an AI at all . 1 mg a week could be over kill. I'd scale back, or not run an AI at all then get bloods in 4 weeks and see where you stand

10 is definitely too low even if that was Sensitive! You are taking way too much AI.

What is your body fat %?

What was your E2 prior to starting an AI on your current protocol?

I did a cycle of 500mg before protocol and E2 was 67 at .75mg AI eod.

So, I'm like super paranoid now. I cut back the anastrazole dose to .25 2x/week. I took my first .25 on Friday ( 2 days ago), 24 hours after my shot.

Now, I have some pain in my right nipple, and am really worried. Is there even a chance that cutting the dose has had an effect THAT QUICK?

You usually can notice changes in adex doses pretty quickly. In 24 hours. But you did not develop gyno in 24 hours.
