[QUOTE="Jay-Jay, post: 43723, member: 13598"] I'm a senior (over 65) that's been on T replacement therapy for 27 months. My therapy is with a urologist and consists of inserting 14 T pellets every 4 months. He also prescribed 1/2 mg anastrozole per week, which he suspends when estradiol is too low. I am extremely pleased with the many positive effects of my increased T but worry about the estradiol always being too high or too low. I have read repeatedly that estradiol should be 20-30. My labs last week, 1 month after 14 pellets inserted and anastrozole suspended were T = 1137. Estradiol = 60. The lab 60 days prior, which was 90 days after previous 14 pellet insertion was T = 600, Estradiol = <5. All previous labs done at 30 & 90 days post insertion have T = 600-1300 and E = <5 to 60. Now that the estradiol is 60, I am back on 1/2 mg anastrozole every week, but I fear that as my T begins to fall that estradiol will be again taken too low. The DR. explained that both T & E are moving targets and he is not concerned unless the estradiol is over 60. Questions: Am I expecting too much for my estradiol to be consistently close to the target range of 20-30? The dose of 14 pellets seems a little high, based on what I've read, although I am ecstatic with the results. Should I ask about reducing pellets, which would also reduce estradiol, making it easier to manage? [/QUOTE]
