Weird that it negatively affected your lipids. According to two studies on PubMed. Anastrozole negatively affected Breast Cancer women taking the drug whereas Exemestane had a neutral effect on lipids. Guess you’re just an outlier
That’s awesome! I’m going to go ahead and take .25mg/day of anastrozole to knock down my E. I thought exemestane was supposed to be better for lipids. Guess I had to backwards!
Thanks for the advice bro. I’ll just base my free T off of the labs calculation. I will eventually switch to Exemestane for AI once my arimidex runs out to better control my estrogen. I do better (like you) when my estrogen is in the single digits which I believe requires .25mg ED of Anastrozole.
I wish it was more mathematical so you could easily dial it in. TRT is in its infancy it feels and very ambiguous. No one seems to have a perfect answer. It’s also ironic we’re always told to base our TRT protocol on our Free T levels yet nobody can agree on a method of measuring it :(
It just sucks cause there’s such a big difference between the TruT calculation versus the other methods. Which means if you’re basing it off of the other methods and you’re on the very high end of the range, your TruT number would be crazy high
I am officially confused and do not know what Free T value to aim for and which method to use to calculate it.
It seems the consensus is that Free T direct is useless.
My protocol is 15mg/daily of Test Cyp + .25mg Anastrozole EOD
Trough Bloodwork
Total T 705 ng/dl
Estradiol LC/MS 20.8...
Thank you for helping me think rationally. I agree, I probably dropped it too low by decreasing my test dose and increasing my adex dose to ed. I’ll likely just stop the adex for 2 weeks and continue taking it eod after.
