Hi Nelson. Thanks for adding me to the group. I am a 46 yr male. Dr gave me 25mg of Clomid which raised my T from 368 to 832 and estradiol from 31 to 70. Then he gave me 1mg per wk of arimidex bc of bloating and hi estradiol. That got the Estra down to 40. Moved up to 2 per wk. I would like to know what your thoughts are on me adding DHEA

You may be overdosing anastrozole. I bet your doctor used the wrong estradiol test. The only accurate one for men is the ultrasensitive test that uses high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) and NOT immunoassays.

Role of Estradiol in Men and Its Management

Your DHEA (I assume it is DHEA-S) is low. You may want to supplement (25-50 mg per day and retest 4 weeks later).

DHEA Supplementation: What Do Studies Show?
Do you feel sexual on Clomid? Many men do not even with its increase of testosterone blood levels.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
