[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 241427, member: 42264"] I’d like to weigh in just a tad, here. I agree with @Deuce’s excellent point that lab values do matter, even without symptoms. However, I think part of the challenge with estrogen in males is that well-established and accepted values may, or may not exist, in particular in the testosterone treatment population. Thus, the conundrum we find ourselves in posting numerous threads about the topic. I fall into the camp that both lab values and symptoms should guide decision making, but would probably emphasize symptoms over lab values with respect to estrogen management. In my limited ability to make meaningful observations, I suspect I aromatize more than average, and that high estrogen levels make me feel crappy. At times, I have had myself convinced that high estrogen levels, or at least suboptimal testosterone to estrogen ratios, are the culprit to my years of struggling with TRT. In reality, I suspect it’s not that simple. I generally tolerate anastrozole, and I have myself convinced that I feel better after taking it. But, there are times when I’ve also felt a tad crappy after taking it. My two cents: if your doctor advises you to take it, and it successfully brings your levels to a normal range, and does not bother you, or create new, unwanted symptoms, I think it’s reasonable to use it as long as you are following labs and symptoms closely.
