150mg EQ

1mg of anastrozole every other day

Do i need to be concerned about the testosterone being higher than 1500 and the Estradiol being so low?

Why did you choose to dose arimidex at 1mg eod ?

that is what was given to me - although i was supposed to take twice per week, i was retaining a lot of water and thought it was due to high Est, so increased on my own - lessons learned

What’s your diet like? Maybe that could be playing a part in why you are holding water

i really don't diet - i eat pretty good i think - fish, rice, beans, chicken, vegies, etc... If i want chips, i eat chips, if i want chocolate, i eat chocolate - :-) obviously not to an excess but never been good counting calories...

You definitely need to be lowering adex dosage with estro levels that low.

That's is an impressive result on IGF-1, assuming you stayed at 3 IU before testing. Your estrogen is way low, especially for test being elevated. How are your libido, cognitive function and joints doing? Estrogen than low for extended periods of time will have a negative impact on your cardiovascular system, joints and bone density.

Can you please give a layout of your ancillary protocol and method of administration of each (liquid/pills).

sorry man - forgot to put the 1mg of anastrozole every other da

I'd probably stop taking it for a bit and let your numbers balance out, or taper down slowly, either way. Then when you need to go back, try decreasing the dosage to .5mg or even, .25mg.

I would cut the dose in half and take it every 3rd day, run that for 2 weeks and test again. The test level is fine, it being high is what you expect from using steroids, that's the point. Some people may suggest drop the AI all together, but my approach is make gradual and methodical changes in order to prevent big fluctuations and then end up in the opposite spot of estro being too high. Post your labs again in a few weeks after running the lower dose of AI.

If this is your estrogen without any estrogen drugs, consider taking a one time dose of testostosterone because you have to Get that number up fast. I got to go for now. Fix that estrogen if it was high I would say ok big deal. But your gonna feel shitty real fast. Good luck buddy

Oh crap that sucks! I gotta be real quick. Stop the anastrozole! Do not take any until at least a few weeks! Then get retest done. You are not taking a dose that requires anywhere near that amount! If I feel like ass and mentally or physically feel off, take a one time weekly dose of test today. If u want to know why just pm me. Hope I helped

Your estrogen is about zero. What are you taking drug wise that lowers estrogen?
