Very good article, thanks for sharing. My estradoil sensitive levels after 27 hours of TestCYp and 48 hours of HCG are 55 and Testostorone is 650. And it stays at 48 even a day later. If I take AI (anastrozole), what I read is that it will reduce the E2 sensitive but will that reduction help my T levels go up? How does this mechanism happen?
How much AI should I take to start with?
