Hello again,
So I began my treatment of testosterone therapy on October 3rd. Currently taking 160 mg a week; planing on going to two injections a week. My estrogen levels were at 30 and I thought that was pretty good. However, my doctor has told me to take 1/2 mg Anastrozole after my Thursday injection and then the other half on Saturday.
My question is this. Is it really necessary to take Anastrozole on such a low dose of TRT? I've been doing some research and it seems that AI can be really, really bad for you. I've also heard that slightly elevated Estrogen while on Testosterone is good for your sex drive.
Some of you already know that as a young man I suffered a stroke due to Lyme decease. My sex drive has been very, very low for over 20 years because of it. Now at 43 y/o I'm really hoping to use TRT as a way to revive my sex drive and rebuild my body.
I want to keep my heart healthy as long as I can, and avoid any of the dangers that come along with small doses of Anastrozole. I'm considering just not taking the Anastrozole and not telling my doc. I don't want to violate his trust however.
There's a lot of talk about AI being really harmful. Do any of you think it's any reason for concern? I honestly just want to feel the effects my shots have on my system with no other interference.
Thanks in advance
