[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 112955"] Hi Matt. Welcome to the forum. 200 mg a week of testosterone was probably too much in the beginning and 400 mg a week is ridiculously high. The anastrozole dose was also very high and for most people would crash their estradiol which is what looks like what is happening to you with a level below 15. I would definitely stop the anastrozole and let your estradiol rebound. The anastrozole can create some of the symptoms you are having such as joint pain, hot flashes, and loss of breath. Your hematocrit looks really good as does your testosterone levels. You total t is in good range for the blood draw being the day before your lab work and your free t is right at the top of the range or just over it which is good. Free t should between 2% to 3% of your total t and your at 3.36% which is very good. I think the best thing you could do is get on a regular schedule and injection a total of 100 mg per week split into two 50 mg doses and take them 3.5 days apart. I would stop the anastrozole completely at least for the time being. It will be better for you to drop the dose and then monitor how you feel and then have more blood work in 6 weeks to see where you are. As far as the tender nipple I couldn't say based on your numbers you have shared. Have you had your prolactin tested and do you know what your SHBG is? Years ago I had tenderness in my right nipple and felt like I was starting to get a small lump behind the nipple.
