[QUOTE="Belmundo, post: 60439, member: 14461"] Thank you for your responses. I wasn't able to get blood work done until 1/10 and this was a trough reading. Since I couldn't wait for the results I began taking the AI. On 1/11 I took .5mg of anastrozole, 1/13 took another .5mg, 1/14 took .75mg, 1/16 .5mg. I only have enough to take me to Sunday 1/22 with .5mg EOD protocol. I just got my labs back today which took longer than last time because of the new tests I added. Again, this was a trough reading. As you can see, my estradiol sensitive is 30.1 pg/mL out of 8.0 - 35.0 so definitely on the HIGH side which explains the symptoms I've been experiencing besides the lumps which are now pretty damn solid. I'm going to reach out to the doctor and see if he can prescribe a SERM to help me reverse this. This really sucks because 2 weeks ago I was feeling really good (mood, libido, erections, etc) and as soon as I felt the nipple sensitivity I should've taken the anastrozole to control the estrogen. I'm pretty sensitive to it as this happened several years ago when I was an idiot and took Anavar and then self medicated with Letro. Any insight as to why LDL would be high? I eat pretty healthy and work out. Vitamin D is high because I've been supplementing it so I'll probably cut that dosage down as I thought I was lacking in it. My SHBG seems low too, right? I have no idea what that means and what implications that has on my TRT protocol. Based on my labs, is there anything you would recommend or anything I should mention to my doctor? I don't know if the anastrozole is helping to bring my estradiol levels down so I'll try and go 2 weeks with taking it and then just get a sensitive test only the week of 1/30. If I take a SERM with it or just by itself, will this floor my E2? [ATTACH=CONFIG]3066[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]3067[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]3068[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
