i was wondering how do you guys taking 500mg test a week control your estrogen with like .5 mg of Aromatase inhibitor (AI) eod? From reading on here that seems to be the recommended dose. I'm on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and on 200mg a week and I was taking .5 mg Aromatase inhibitor (AI) 3x a week and on my blood test my estro was still 45. So I've raised it to 1mg anastrozle 3x a week.
eventually i want to increase my dosage to cycle levels to 400mg/week for a while and so I'm wondering to keep my estro in check will I need to double my AI? I still don't know if I'm going to be in range taking 1mg - 3x a week though I think I should be since at 45 I'm not too far off.
Do you guys do a blood test in the middle of your cycle to see where your estro is at to bring it down? or do you just run the cycle without checking? in testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) we have to continue checking until we're dialed in, so after I make adjustments I'll have another blood test 6-8 weeks after. I'm wondering if once I go to a cycle dose if I should get a blood test done in the middle of the cycle to check my estro to keep it in range? or just let it run?
one guess I had was that most of you don't run HCG on cycle and on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) I do 500iu a week of HCG and HCG aromatizes so could that be the reason that so many of you can get away with .5 mg Aromatase inhibitor (AI) eod? I just cut my HCG dose in half this past week to see if it helps bring my estro down so I can bring down the AI.
