Struggling to understand this general situation…
New doc has started me on enanthate 60mg SQ twice a week. Started monday (today is wed). Also prescribed anastasole 1mg “sometime in between the two doses”. It seems relevant that im 80-90 pounds overweight, carrying it all in belly. Ive read that fat is great at converting testosterone into estradiol/estrogen.
Monday morning: injected, rapidly improved mood and energy, better sleep that night
Tuesday: woke up great, rapidly became quite cranky through the day, low energy at the gym, nipples a little sensitive (high estradiol?). Took a cautious dose of 0.5mg anastrazole in the evening, rapidly perceived estradiol went away and replaced by perceived low T (worse sleep, depressed/melancholy, anxiety) By wednesday morning (today) as well as oddly wet/oily inside ears…
based on my limited umdertanding, here is what I THINK is going on:
i inject the T, which temporarily improves things until by the next day most of that T is getting converted into estradiol. Then i took anastrazole, which lowered my estradiol but reintroduced low T.
is that a fairly logical way of looking at it? If this is the case, wouldnt it be logical to take an injection AND simultaneously take 0.5mg of anastrazole, thereby actually getting all that T without so much pf it being converted, and thereby avoiding this hormonal back and forth im perceiving?
am i misumderstnaind this situation?
