Adding Anastrozole, how much should I lower dose?

if your at 650mg per week on 120mg test cyp with 500 iu HCG. What would .125mg of Anastrozole put you at, anecdotal experience is welcome and appreciated.

In this situation an aromatase inhibitor should not affect your free testosterone. It could indirectly affect total testosterone by reducing estradiol. Lower estradiol can lead to lower SHBG and therefore lower total testosterone as well. Your dose of testosterone has likely suppressed LH and FSH to low levels, and a small dose of anastrozole will not change this.

And what about DHT? the conversion has to go somewhere else no?

Excessively elevated DHT will have an anti-estrogen effect and lower your estrogen. There’s no way to predict where the AI will put your estrogen because we don’t know how sensitive you are to AI’s. That would be like trying to predict your tolerance to alcohol and how many beers would it take to get you wasted.

Any amount of AI will crash my estrogen, even a 1/10th of 0.050.

Ill get blood work soon, so its unreasonable for me consider anastrozole COULD raise my total T to 850 from 650 with just .125mg of anastrozole a week
