Decided to go for it. Starting TRT next week.

Ok, so since I took 1 whole 1mg pill 3.5 days ago with my first shot, should I skip the ai completely today with my second injection? Then start with .25mg at the next injection?

I would skip next dose.. then resume on the following dose at 0.25mg twice per week. You don't have to tell your doctor you are taking less - just remember not to say anything if he wants you to adjust. Whilst everyone is different and there are a few variables that come into play, I can pretty much say with certainty that 1mg twice per week WILL destroy your e2 on that dose. You'd have literally 0. You'd feel worse than before TRT. Start with 0.25mg, see what the bloods come back as. It takes a while to dial in anyhow usually.

Just to give you an idea, I don't even need a full 1mg/week (let alone 2mg!) when I'm on 500mg test/week. Plus you can stock up all the extra prescription adex for future cycles

This is the general concensus. I am going to follow your advice. Skipped yesterdays pill. At next TRT injection, start .25mg and say nothing. I like the idea of saving up the extra in case I decide to blast at some point once I get dialed in.

200 mg a week is at the high end of the range for TRT, but it works for me.

The dose that I like the best is about 170mg/week, but I weigh slightly less than 150 so I'm taking a slightly higher dose per pound of body weight. That dose puts my trough at over 1200.

The result is bulging muscles, more strength, less fat, smaller waist, and better definition. No harmful effects that I can detect - hematocrit, lipids, blood pressure, mood are all good. (Age 72.)

Anastrozole at 0.25 mg EOD crashed my E2 to single digits. I am now trying 0.03mg EOD. First E2 measurement at 0.03mg was 32.

Rather than trying to divide the pill even further, why not take .25mg once a week instead of eod?

Due to the half life. Once per week would give you big swings. It needs to be dosed at a maximum of twice per week. Every second day would be best to keep levels stable, but for our purposes it's fine to do alongside injections as your aromatase inhibition will peak & trough alongside your TT

Ah-hah. Good to know. Thanks!
