[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 43727, member: 2624"] Welcome to Excelmale. Frankly, pellets present the devil's own challenge when it comes to managing testosterone and estradiol levels. The reason for that is clear from your own experience - once inserted you can only react to serum level changes, you can't actually manage your protocol. That is the reason that the overwhelming majority of doctors practicing in this area prefer injections of testosterone, injections typically self-administered. Once a dialed-in protocol is in place adjustments can be made simply and directly. That said, you are right to be concerned about your estradiol level. There is no absolute, fixed value that every patient ,use aim for. An important question: was your estradiol measured via the sensitive (LC, MS/MS) lab test? If it wasn't you present numbers that are of limited, if any value. What is the range on your lab report? In in all honesty, the complications, on Anastrozole and off it, could probably be eliminated if you and your doctor adopted a contemporary protocol...one not involving pellets. Your doctor's comment that testosterone and estradiol are "moving targets" is a dead giveaway - of course you can't achieve stability with pellets. But you certainly can expect to with another mode of delivery. [/QUOTE]
