Got my blood test back today. Did the test last Wednesday, and I do my shot Thursday morning. Total T was 790 ng/dL, free T was 23.9 pg/mL. I was thinking we wanted to be a bit higher, 900 or above. E2 (sensitive) was off the charts low, < 3. It appears 1mg per week Anastrozole in divided doses is WAY too much. This might explain my sore joints, anxiety, irritability, and decreased sensitivity during sex. On the bad news side, total cholesterol was 226, so I have some work to do there. I will discuss the results next week with the doctor to see how we will modify my treatment. I plan to push for 2x weekly injections of 1/2 the total dosage, along with eliminating or severely reducing the Anastrozole. Not sure if we will stay at 160mg/week or not.

I think you have a good plan.
You're just one more example as to why most men don't need an AI.
What was your E2 levels that warranted the use of an AI anyways?
Two injections a week are just better for so many reasons.

My E2 levels were OK before treatment, but when we tried a Clomid restart, my E2 had shot up significantly. My guess is Dr. Saya was trying to head that off before it started. My body just reacted very differently to Clomid versus exogenous testosterone.
