New Labs - Power of Anastrozole

James · Aug 16, 2017

Anastrozole is a powerful drug guys!

April 2017:
60 mg cyp (twice weekly) and 1/4 mg AI (twice weekly)
Total Test 863 ng/dl (264 - 916)
Free Test 23 pg/ml (6.8 - 21.5)
Estradiol, Sensitive 21 pg/ml (8.0 - 35.0)

August 2017:
50 mg cyp (twice weekly) and 0 AI
Total Test 599 ng/dl (264 - 916)
Free Test 18 pg/ml (6.8 - 21.5)
Estradiol, Sensitive 35 pg/ml (8.0 - 35.0)

I've never taken hcg.

Amazing how effective an AI is at lowering E2.

Anastrozole is one of the weakest AIs too. Do you feel better with you E2 at 21 than you did at 35?

well you also cut your T so it's hard to look at in a singular sense, had you only changed the AI, you could make a stronger point.

Also, why did you cut your T dose? Was 883 Total too high for you or your Dr.?

Vince Carter - It's a strong point when you decrease exogenous test by 20%, yet increase E2 by 75%, simply by removing your AI.

AbsoluteZ3RO - I think I feel best as long as there's not a lot of movement with my E2. I don't necessarily feel any significant difference between the two E2 values...eventhought the T/E ratio is quite different. As has been stated many times on these boards, multiple weekly injections can go a long way in helpng to even out a guy's E2 peaks and valleys. And I'm only injecting twice weekly. The fluctuation is what gives me problems. Not so much the end number.

JakeH - no, doc prefers me in that higher TT range. I think I got stuck in the trap that many guys here can relate to. Over analyzing things a bit. Been doing this for years now and always tweaking things to find that perfect fit. Big picture, my numbers usually look pretty good, I feel good, all good.
