Question about Anastrozole

I am on TRT right now and going to run a cycle, I currently don't take anastrozole... in the beginning i was prescribed it as a cautionary thing but after blood work the Dr said I didn't need it..

Should I run anastrozole while doing my cycle? 500mg/wk test cyp and .4IU of Hcg? I was thinking maybe doing .25mg 2 times a week or maybe .5mg twice a week? I'm not really sure just looking for some insight as to what or when I should take it?

this is my first cycle so I have no experience as to how my body will react with higher doses of T, Should I just wait and see after blood work? What should I look for that would tell me I need to take it?
 
Most guys need an AI on 500mg of Test per week. But if your body fat % is low you might not.

What is your TRT protocol and where does your E2 come in at on it without an AI. This might provide insight.

Also, .4iu of hCG is way too little. You should run between 250-500iu twice a week. Please make sure you know the difference between iu and ml.
 
I would have it on hand for sure but wait till you have begun your cycle to see how your body reacts. Everybody is different bro. For myslef I know when I need to take a AI becasue I start getting water retention around my ankles and base of thumb. This is a tell sign my estro is high. Don't take it just to take it because crashed estro sucks, makes you feel like shit and joints hurt.
 
You should def run it. Estrogen should be MANAGED on cycle, without exception.
There is no way if taking 500mgs/week of test or more that your e2 will stay within clinically normal range and that should be your goal,
Why should that be your goal? Because e2 is good and bad. If you keep it within clinically normal levels even while on cycle you will get all the good and none of the bad estrogen has to offer. Do NOT wait for symptoms of elevated e2 before using an ai, that is not prudent and is dangerous to your health and well being. Yes there are certain dangers when taking steroids but why not eliminate the ones you can. By the time you see or feel symptoms of elevated e2 do you have any idea how much damage has already been done? Potentially a lot. Especially if you wait for gyno symptoms to take an ai. By the time you are at that stage your health and well being has already been compromised significantly.
Do yourself a favor and use an AI from go and manage your e2 properly. There is not one good reason anyone can give me for you not to do so.

Be sure to do it right step by step so your goals are achieved with risk.

^^^^^ Couldn't agree with this more!!! ^^^^^
 
For 500 mg of test you need an AI. Better not to have titties if you can avoid, not to mention the countless other reasons.
 
So a good base to start would be .5mg twice a week? or should I take it every day at .25mg? I'm not really sure how to dose it
