Advice on stopping or reducing AI?

[rifter]

I'm on a 120mg test C, 2000ui HGC and 1 mg anastrozole a week split into two doses.

Lab tests have historically been stable
Total & Free test is around 1200 - 1300
Free test is around 24 -26
E2 is between 22 - 35

My Doc wants me to stop anastrozole. After all the touted benefits of estradiol and research presented, I'm inclined to try follow his advice. I was initially put on anastrozole from day 1 of starting TRT 6 years ago. The HCG is obviously to maintain fertility.

My question is should I reduce the dose to 0.5mg anastrozole once a week or just drop it completely?
My next labs are due in just over a month.

Any advice here would be great - thanks!

Do you feel good? I'm a newbie, but from what I've read many would consider your E2 range to be in the "sweet spot." Seems to me that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That's a lot of HCG and normally you don't want to inject more than 500 at a time because of E2 issues.

Feeling good becomes relative to the time you've been following a specific protocol. I feel my "normal". I don't know If I would feel "better" or "worse" under a different protocol... it has been so long I honestly cannot tell.

Yes, 1000ui twice a week is high. I don't particularly want to change too change more than one variable at one time, so I'm reluctant to change the dosing schedule or amount at this point.
