[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 127802, member: 15043"] So I've always heard that Exemestane has the unique properties of lowering SHBG and raising IGF-1, compared to Anastrozole. I've also heard, that 1 tab of Exemestane (25mg), is basically equivalent to 1 tab of Anastrozole (1mg). I just wanted to post some blood work I had 4 months apart from each other, while on the same Test and HCG doses. The only difference between the two blood tests was the fact that when I got the first blood work done, I was using a quarter tab of Anastrozole EOD, which is 0.25mg EOD. The second blood work, I was taking a quarter tab of Exemestane EOD, which is 6.25mg EOD. It's only a short little experiment, and this is just my personal experience obviously, but in my case at least, it seems that all the things that I heard, were true. 8-15-17 Test- 90mg/ week HCG- 800iu/ week Anastrozole - 0.25mg EOD Total - 1299 (250-1100 ng/dL) Free - 146.6 (46.0-224.0) Bio - 307.8 (110.0-575.0 ng/dL) SHBG 51 (10-50) E2 Sensitive - 8 E2 Standard - 13 E2 Free - 0.28 (<0.45) IGF 1 - 241 (53-331) 12-13-17 Test- 90mg/ week HCG- 800iu/ week Exemestane - 6.25mg EOD Total - 974 (250-1100 ng/dL) Free - 142.6 (46.0-224.0) Bio - 287.0 (110.0-575.0 ng/dL) SHBG 36 (10-50) E2 Sensitive - 9 E2 Standard - 13 E2 Free - 0.28 (<0.45) IGF 1 - 269 (53-331) It's also kind of mind boggling to me that with 4 months in-between, and a difference of 325 in total T, and a difference of 15 in my SHBG, that my Free testosterone is basically identical on both tests. It's almost like the body has a self regulating process it implements to reach some type of homeostasis.
