Been on 100mg/5 days of testosterone cypioonate for a year now, and 1mg of arimidex every other day keeps my estradiol great and I feel great (it is between 20-35pg/ml).

Just curious on why I need so much, I'm very lean (currently 9% BF).

My testosterone peaks at 1000 ng/dl, and the trough is around 650 ng/dl.

SHBG is at 3, which could be causing this possibly..?

Any insight appreciated, can provide any other information that is needed.

Very Low SHBG. I would think your free test should be very high. Less bound testosterone might be the cause for why you aromatize so easily to estradiol.

People with low SHBG found it helpful to to more frequent injections, twice a week or even E2D injections.

I've heard of patients with extremely low levels of SHBG not feeling dialed in on TRT, it is very common. Taking that much arimidex a week is not good, IMO.

Are you picking up your Arimidex from a legitimate pharmacy?

It's prescribed Anastrozole, which is generic arimidex I believe.

Anastrazole will also be a contributing factor to low SHBG.
