latest numbers and a question

Total Test 994

Estradiol 61 (ultrasensitive quest)

PSA 1.3


Doc wants me on meds anastrozole 1mg every other day - I know this is way too much, but he will not listen.

I have just (two weeks ago) started on this regiment:

.25 ml's cyp twice a week (Tuesday and Saturday)

250 mg HCG twice a week..

So my question is, should I wait a few more weeks to see if this brings my estradiol down, or start the meds?
 
There's nothing wrong with self dosing, IMHO, especially when you already know 1mg EOD is way too much. I think you need it based on your ultra-sens test but perhaps a 1/4 mg day after your injection, maybe that would be a place to start...?
 
You can always bump the dose up if needed. That is a lot easier than taking too large a dose, crashing your E2 and having to wait for it to balance again.
 
I want to add that prior to changing my protocol, I was doing .75 ml of test and 500 ml of hcg every Saturday. That changed one week prior to the last blood work.

I think I am going to wait a few weeks and see if the new protocol will bring my estradiol down.

thoughts on this?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
