TRT Estradiol control

[jagbender]

I seem very sensitive to Anastrazole. My HRT dose has been between 120-140 mg test c per week. split dose pinning on Monday and Thursday 1/2 a dose.
At 120 mg a week and no AI test runs around 697 Estradiol 54

If I stay at 120 mg a week and add .25 mg anastrazole 2 x a week my test 828 and estradiol 7

I think I want me E around 20 but am having a difficult time getting it there. The AI is such a small dose and seems to have a great effect. I can try 1 x .25 mg Anastrazole a week and see what that does, I heard the 1/2 life of Anastrzole is 3 days?

Suggestions?

Hey Jagbender, I have a small pill cutter I got at CVS and I can cut those tiny pills into an eighth if need be. I would do an 1/8th twice a week that might be your sweet spot. I take arimidex (anastrozole) as well and it is agressive. And yes a good E2 level is around 20-25...

I am pretty sensitive to AI's as well and ended up going with Avena Sativa to help control my estrogen levels. DIM is also a natural product that may help, may be worth a try to see how you feel....

If adex is too strong for you, try switching to aromasin.

imo if you switched to aromasin at 12.5mg in place of the adex dose on the same schedule you will see your e2 rise near the 20 mark..seems to work better that way for me on trt...

aromasin 12.5 mwf works for me.. it is safer on your lipids..also increase free test levels..may be able to lower your cyp dose..depending where your free test levels are at

 

[jagbender]

lipid profile is good. I have a crap load of Adex and am going to try .125mg twice a week and lower test to 120 mg pinned 60 mg twice a week

I will do some blood work in a couple of weeks

New test results I have been doing 140 mg a week pinned .70 M/TH 120 wk is where Doc wants me. A week before labs I went to 120 a week and took labs prior to my injection on Monday. I dropped to 120 to get my test level back to where doc like them. It looks like the test does not drop as fast as I though.
My doc like my test to be between 600-800. my labs came back today Test 944, E 30.6 I have been on TRT for about 2 years.
It seems like my needed test injection amount is dropping. I am assuming my Doc will drop me down to 100 mg a week
