Should I Change My Anerstrozole Dose??

[TRTony]

So before i started testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) my Estrogen was 70 pgml. My testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) regimine is 200mg Cyp a week. 500 iu Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 2x a week. And Anerstrozole .5mg 2x a week. Im 5 weeks into TRT. I feel and look and am performing the best i ever had. When its warm i look a little flabby and bloated but also my toes and elbows are kind if hurting. However it might not be related to E because i hvnt been eating as clean as i should be and i do mma. Sex drive is great. I want to lose belly fat and gain muscle.im not ad haard as i should be kinda soft. I want to lower my estrogen levels. Money is sort of an issue. Is .5mg 2x a week enough to lower estrogen? Should i maybe take .25mg 4x a week? Maybe 1/3 3x a week? Should i add another .5mg to make it .5mg 3x a week?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Like I suggested before, get a current lab test and see what your Estradiol is now before you start self medicating. It costs about $50 at privatemdlabs.

I cant get a test right now yet. Is .5mg 2 times a week enough to lower estro?

I'm not sure how you haven't figured this out yet. I've seen u post about ur anastrozole many many times here lately and people have already given u good advice...not sure how u can't seem to.figure it out. Wat is the point of dosing 2x a week? The half life isn't that long. Taking it twice a week seems like it would produce unstable levels of estrogen IMO

Im sorry. I have ocd and i obsess over things thats important to me. And my body is. Well so do u think .25mg EOD is a better option?

I can see you are asking a lot of questions. Honestly, I don't think there is an answer to these questions. Everyone is different. The best anyone can do is give you a ballpark guess. You should probably get on the phone with your doc or somone that can help you and get this sorted out. Set your protocol and follow it for a while and let things settle out.

I typically make small changes and run with it for a month and then do blood work. Last month I reduced my test dose, and adjusted my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) just a bit. I ran with that for one month ... no changes. Then I did blood work.

I get the whole OCD thing ... but don't stress over this. No need to micro-manage this on a daily basis. You will be fine.

I am paraphrasing, but as Einstein said, "The definition of insanity is repeating the same process and expecting a different outcome." So I guess you should keep asking the same question until you get a different answer that you like.

U guys are right. I need to chill out. I will try .25mg every other day and see how that works

that should keep ur estrogen levels nice and steady, they wont be going up and down.
Getting ur Aromatase inhibitor (AI) dose right is basically just guess and check. Start at a low dose and work up till.u hit ur sweet spot. .25mg eod is a great dose to start out at. Try that and if ur not having any nipple sensitivity or a lot of bloat then I would stay at. .25 eod. If u start to get any signs of gyno then bump up to .5eod.

Thanks. But u dont think that it will help reduce levels at that dose?
