I think you are right Bay Area, I think I am E2 sensitive. I have an appointment with an endocrinologist here soon. I would like to get clarification before I take any arimadex. Everything else is going well and I do not want to crash my E2 levels and deal with fatigue and potential rebound...

Hi Everybody, I posted a couple of years ago with gynecomastia issues and was able to resolve it using arimadex. I had a normal total t, a semi-low free t and borderline high e2. The arimadex resolved my issue and I was able to cease with no issues. Fast forward 2 years, everything has been...

Hey everybody, I did find a new endo that I am happy with. He has me continuing on the arimidex, which seems to be working well. We have a follow-up in three months to take new labs and discuss me coming off of the arimidex. I have been taking .25 MG twice a week. My current question as I am...

I had my appointment with a new endocrinologist today. I was away during an internship when I saw the previous endo. Now that I am back home, I saw a new endo. I told the new endocrinologist about what had been going on and that I was taking anastrozole for gynocemastia and high estradiol. I...

I am planning on staying on the arimidex this week until I go see my doctor on Friday. I've had a great response to the AI but imagine I will be coming off of it soon. Does anybody have any advice for long term E2 management? How can I avoid my E2 rising too high when I come off of the...

Doesn't anyone have advice

I follow-up again with him Friday to get new labs. His impression was that he would only be treating me for a few months because once my E2 levels were lowered back into normal range, I would be just fine and could cease taking the arimidex. I will ask him Friday about long term E-2...

My gyno has resolved, no pain or itchiness. Still a bit puffy but not nearly like they were. I feel good, much better then I did when the estradiol was a 41. Some slight joint pain.

Ok guys, I got labs done through discount labs and these are the results: Total Testosterone: 778 ng/ml Free Testosterone: 12.6 pg/ml Estradiol: 18.8 pg/ml This is after two weeks on arimidex at .5 mg twice a week. These labs were taken on Monday. I took .25 mg of arimidex twice this week...

I have a follow up appointment a week from this coming Friday, and he said we would order new labs then and see how I feel. That will be after I have been taking the medication for a month. He prescribed me two months worth of the anastrozole.

What would be a good way to monitor my estradiol levels to make sure it is not going too low? Now that my gynocemastia symptoms have subsided can I decrease the anastrozole or cease taking it? I have been on it for approximately two weeks.

Hey guys just wanted to update you with where I was at. My bloodwork came in and I discussed it with the doctor. The following are the results: Total Testosterone: 462 ng/dl Estradiol: 41.2 pg/ml Roche ECLIA methodology Estrogens Total: 87 pg/ml Prolactin: 8.2 ng/ml Free Test: 8.1...

Thanks for the reply. I called the clerk at the endo's office again today. The doctor has yet to review my blood-work but she told me my Estrodial was at a 41 but she did not say if it was a sensitive test or not. Have to wait for the doctor to review my bloodwork. I started taking the...

Thanks for the reply. I do not have a prescription for testosterone or know how to obtain it. What would be the effects of taking just the anastrozle 1 mg twice per week? Tanking my estradiol will tank my libido and erections correct? I have a girlfriend and really can't afford for that to...

Thanks for the replies guys, I definitely feel lumps and my nipples are pretty puffy so I do think it is indeed a case of gynocemastia. As soon as I get my bloodwork tomorrow I will post it on here as well. Pictures below are for you to reference.
