How fast can I lower my estrogen?

[jhl72]

Been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for 20 weeks now. Original levels were total t at 175 and estrogen at 34. I'm 38 5'8" 205 with about 15% body fat? (34 inch waist). Been in the gym most of my life but steady for the last 6 years.

I actually started out with basically running a cycle of 400mg Cyp and 200mg Deca for the first 15 weeks on advice of my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) consultant.

I then continued 400mg of cyp for the next 5 weeks and have just dropped it down to 250mg a week.

I've been averaging about 2 mgs of Anastrozole a week for the last 8 weeks and approx 1.5 mgs a week prior. I'm also running 1,000 IU Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) a week and have been since the beginning.

My total t just came back at 1600 and estrogen at 45 and I want to drop t to 1000 and estrogen to 25.

As of yesterday I am now dosing the cyp at 250 mgs a week, staying at 1,000 IU Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) a week.

Question is, how much Anastrozole a week and how fast can I cut my estrogen in half?

I just increased the Ana to .5mg a day. That too much?

Jhl,
Are you running tabs or liquid for Anastrozole? I would run 1mg eod for 1 week- then taper down to 0.75 eod for a week and then O.5mgs eod for a week. At your third week see how you feel and adjust accordingly. You can probaby go as low as O.25mgs eod eventually.

you also gotta be careful with Adex over long term use as it can wreak havoc on your lipid profile. May wanna consider Aromasin if it becomes an issue.

I agree with RJ...

Aromasin is my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) of choice also.
