AI's work very quickly and it could lower your E2 in a the matter of a couple of weeks.

Anastrozole has about a 50 hour half life.

Best time to take an AI is 24 hours after your Testosterone injection.

Was your estrogen lab the "Sensitive" lab? If not, you don't have a true E2 value if it's the standard E2 lab designed for women.

You can't add Clomid to a Testosterone protocol; it's one or the other but never combined.

Do as your Physician instructs you; you're in good hands at Defy.
