[QUOTE="HealthMan, post: 121563, member: 13512"] I can relate to you as i am also very sensitive to estradiol when it comes to gyno. My estradiol needs to be in the low 20s otherwise i get gyno. Your TT and FT are high and you SHBG is on the normal-lower side. If I were you I would check your free estradiol and try to control that variable instead of estradiol. You have room to lower your dosage as your TT and FT are high so that way you can use less anastrozole. If you have a lump that is already there for a while anastrozole will probably not work unless you use it to crash your estradiol and keep it crashed for a while. Tamoxifen usually works really well to get rid of lumps specially if not too old. Be careful with the advices about lowering your testosterone dosage and stopping anastrozole. Given you are prone to gyno this might worsen your existence gyno (that happen to me). I would only do that if I was taking tamoxifen and then test estradiol and free estradiol and see where it sits. Just remember that tamoxifen will almost for sure raise your SHBG thus compromising your blood work results (meaning the results will change after your stop tamoxifen). Gyno can be very frustrating and recurring gyno even more. I have battle this on and off for a few years. And all I can say is anastrozole is usually your friend not your enemy. I know how long gyno can take to go away taking tamoxifen and i felt terrible while taking it. And if i lowered my anastrozole a bit too much... bang... gyno again and another cycle of tamoxifen was necessary. Terrible. Also worth checking your prolactin levels. High levels can cause gyno. I am not a doctor and I am only sharing my personal experience. Consult with your doctor before making any changes to your protocol [/QUOTE]
