[QUOTE="Mocha, post: 9812, member: 1939"] Ty, I suggest getting a 2nd blood test done for E2 (Sensitive). I know it can be pricey, but before increasing the Anastrozole dosage, it's a good idea to make sure this isn't a false positive -- and you won't know for sure until you get another test done. [B]What about your symptoms? How do you feel in general? Do you notice increased water retention?[/B] What's your weight and height? Your BF %? Your age? Most docs will check your T levels at least twice before diagnosing you. (Recently, my doc got me tested 3 times.) The same should apply for E as well. Anastrozole is a strong drug and shouldn't be toyed with. It has its place, but you have to be absolutely certain you need to increase the dosage. Gene makes a valid point about splitting the 100mg T dose into 50mg x 2 times a week. Start from there, get a 2nd blood test done, and post your numbers here. EDIT: I just checked your post history and found this thread where you discuss your symptoms (you ought to include your history when asking for suggestions): [URL]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?1816-Gynecomastia-Clinical-evaluation-and-management[/URL] Obviously, your problems aren't new and your E2 was elevated 6 months ago as well (plus, you had symptoms). I leave it to the experts to take it from here. [/QUOTE]
