[QUOTE="donkeyfarlo, post: 260655, member: 43792"] Some updates here... I had two labs taken, one to try to capture peak T (~12 hours post injection) and one to try to capture peak e2 (prior to injection Monday morning after having no injections over the weekend). I wanted to check the delta between peak and trough to see if it was excessive. Here are the results: [U] Peak T Lab[/U] Total T: 1183.6 ng/dL [I](264-916)[/I] Free T: 281.3 pg/mL [I](30.3-183.2)[/I] SHBG: 32.7 nmol/L [I](16.5-55.9)[/I] Estradiol: 26 pg/mL [I](8-35)[/I] [U]Peak E Lab[/U] Total T: 548.7 ng/dL [I](264-916)[/I] Free T: 118.5 pb/mL [I](30.3-183.2)[/I] SHBG: 28.6 nmol/L [I](16.5-55.9)[/I] Estradiol: 18.4 pg/mL [I](8-35)[/I] Seeing as the T levels fluctuated so significantly between tests and the "peak e" lab actually showed less e2 than the Peak T lab, I believe the theory that I aromatize quickly is confirmed. After discussing this with my doctor, he proposed moving from 0.3ml M-W-F with 0.125mg anastrozole M-F to 0.2ml EOD with 0.125mg anastrozole on injection days. I'm now a week in to this so everything is starting to balance out, and I'd say so far so good from a mood perspective. I'm also considering dropping the AI altogether after a full 6 weeks of being on this protocol to see if I can simply go without, as that would be ideal. Until then, I wanted to ask you guys what you think about AI on injection day. This is what my doc recommended, but I seem to recall that the usual recommendation is to take the AI 24 hours after injection, as that is when e2 peaks. Do you think it would make a difference in my case or is everything frequent now that it won't matter? [/QUOTE]
