Hello all, This is my 4 year update on what has been a very long and serious last few years. I’ve posted on here before awhile back while I was on 2nd year of Clomid monotherapy, but I couldn’t remember credentials to get back to that account. Nevertheless, here I am and I promise to remain...

I just wanted to share my experience, when I started I was against not taking ai and used to take micro dose specially after I saw the high estrogen symptoms. With time I stopped ai initially I had some symptoms which seem to fade as my body get used to 100mg once weekly. I am almost 2 or3...

Yesterday i took my AI and Cialis 2 hours before sexual activity and had an erection that i would describe as larger than normal. I have done so before (take cialis daily and ai eod) but have not had the same results. The next day i took cialis and did not have the same large erection Is this...

Been lurking for a few months here, and finally have spoken with a doc and have had some labs done. Due to my interest in remaining fertile for one more kid, and my current inability to do so, the doc has suggested I start out with Clomid. The basic treatment is: Clomid 12.5 mg po q day X 6...

I recently had an mri because of an elevated prolactin level on blood work. There is a small mass on my pituitary gland. Im bringing this up on this forum because over the last few years there has been a backlash against ai's. There actually is some research showing elevated estrogen causing...

Hello, how are you guys doing? How long does it take for anastrozol to work? I was in 33,79 pg/ml e2 and started anastrozol 0.5mg EOD and tested again now and im in 30pg/ml e2, and considering in that period I started daily injections which is supposed to lower e2. How long does it take in...

Hey all - I've been on TRT for 10 months and just found this forum today - what a MASSIVE wealth of information! I've been relying on a single thread on another forum that's totally unrelated to health, and it's been a huge help, but nothing like this. I could really use your help today; TRT...

I take 60mg cyp 2x a week Monday and Thursday with .25 Anastrozole after each shot. And I doing this right? Should I take it the next day? Same day? Or a coupe hours later/before? just want to know correct timing for best effect.

After asking if the doc could split my dose into twice a week here is the protocol he recommended: Sunday evening: 75mg Test C taken intramuscularly Monday morning: .25mg HCG taken sub-Q Tuesday: 0.5mg Anastrozole Wednesday morning: 75mg Test C taken intramuscularly Thursday morning: .25mg HCG...

Just curious if anyone else using a CPAP has had this happen. Normally my AHI is approximately 2 each night. If i throw .25mg arimodex into the mix it drops below 1 and I sleep like a bear minus the snoring of course. I’m injecting t cyp .375mg q3.5 days and use the arimodex the day of...

Good Morning Everyone, I've been using an AI at various doses over the last year for estrogen management without much success. 12 days ago, I stopped taking my AI, and I don't really feel any better or worse. I am on the emotional side, but that happened occasionally while taking the AI. I...

Been on TRT for about 3 months now and it has been a roller coaster to say the least. I started on 125 a week split up on Monday and Thursday of each week. Also with HCG and .25 of an AI on injection days. started having bad palpitations and hot flushes. Had me double up on AI and it tanked my...

Switch over to Defy at the beginning of the month, and started my Routine on Nov 11. My routine is 25mg Test 3x weekly(MWF) along with 25mg of HcG 3x weekly(MWF). I take the prescribed 25mg DHEA nightly before bed. Previously before switching over to Defy. My last dose at Low T Center was 180mg...

Can someone make sense of this study? How did these guys not crush their E2 and why is their LH and FSH normal?? Coadministration of anastrozole sustains therapeutic testosterone levels in hypogonadal men undergoing testosterone pellet insertion. - PubMed - NCBI

I started TRT about 7-8 weeks ago. Dose age was 125 a week ( injecting twice a week) with HCG and .025 of AI on both injection days. I started having bad side effects after the 4-5 week. Called doctor and they thought it was high E2, so had me double up on the AI. Side effects continued so I...

I’m seeing all the positives from people with TRT which is great. However I’m 5 weeks in on 125 total, injecting twice a week with HCG and an AI and feel terrible. I feel so out of whack and have bad headaches, horrible anxiety and palpitations. I redid my labs this week early as they think it...

What is the best starting protocol for a 34 y/o with total T between 300-500, high SHBG, and wanting to have kids within the next 1-3yrs? Background: 34 y/o, 6'3", 203lbs, <10%bf, workout a lot One doc recommend 50mg Clomid and HCG. After reading here it seems clomid isn't a great choice for...

I've been on TRT for the last 2 years and it's been great. My mood, anxiety, libido, and function have all been on point for the most part. I take .25cc of T and HCG twice a week and have never had to adjust. I get my blood work done twice a year and have been on track with good levels for...

SOOO, I added HCG to my TRT the end of may 2019;.. the first 4 weeks was 500iu a week .....i wasnst sure how my body was going to react .... so i jumped it up to 800iu the last 2 weeks of the first 6 weeks of it before my first Labs to check E2 and hema it was fine... so I jumped it up to...

For the first 6 months,on trt I felt awesome. Had my labs done for the third time. My e2 jumped to 180 Feeling great. I was not taking a ai, doctor insisted I take a ai. Now getting insomnia and anxiety, mood swings, nausea.I have never felt anxiety to this level. I blamed it on high e2. I quit...

Hi guys, My first post and grateful this site exists. I'm about to start TRT and don't get my labs back for a week. I had been on it before but discontinued when hospitalized for some stuff (unrelated and now gone). I'm going to start with 100mg a week of either equal parts (deca, cyp, eth...

Since I do want to sign up for jay Campbell's 50$/month forum to maybe get access to Dr. Keith Nichols, Dr. Rob etc. I will post these questions here. This is not intended to invite argument for/against aromatase inhibitor usage. I simply want to understand the perspective of AI opponents...

I'm a long time lurker and haven't posted much (perhaps even never) but I felt I should contribute something in return: I have very mild gyno that I've had most of my life. As soon as my E2 goes up it starts getting sore. That's when I USED to take an arimidex and it would go away. This time...

So not trying to start anymore drama with the round table or anything, but I just can’t stand to see these guys contradict themselves like this. They all say that water retention is not a side effect of high E2, and that it’s either in our heads, has more to do with our diet, or it’s from the...

Hi Guys, I'm getting off TRT to possibly get my wife pregnant. I also have struggled with anxiety a lot while on trt. My question is do I need an AI during my 4-6 weeks of tamoxifen? I am very sensitive to E2. While working with defy we figured out that I cannot be over 15 pg/ml (sensitive...

I’m currently on Dr prescribed TRT at 200mg/week of Test C. My Estradiol is 104. My doctor prescribed 1mg of Anastrozole 2x week. Does this seem like a high dosage? Thanks

I've posted on here several times that my previous Dr tanked my E2 by pre-mixing A'dex with my Test Cyp (200mg T with 1mg Arimidex). I switched Drs, who kept everything the same, but gave me 0.3mg A'dex pills. I was instructed NOT to take the A'dex for my first two injections (Friday, June 15th...

Hey guys, Ive been on trt for about 1 1/2 years and currnetly ive gotten my level to a good range but my estrogen is still a bit high. i have the 1mg anastrozole tabs but im not sure how much to take without lowering my E too much,last time i tried it I think it dropped too low and i felt like...

Hi All, So i was curious, my doctor has me on every 6 day injections. Do you guys tailor your AI around that schedule. Like should i take it the day of my shot? I'm on a MWF AI regimen. However, I don't want my estrogen through the roof on those first couple of days. It was up there at 55 last...
