[QUOTE="captain_j, post: 191342, member: 40998"] I also have the same issue with SHBG. I've been off and on with an AI, tried both Anastrozole and Exemestane. I've noticed that when I take 200 mg/week test cyp (ED or EOD), it's a lot harder for me to crash my estrogen with an AI. When I go down to 140 mg/week (ED or EOD), I have to be a lot more careful with my AI dosage. But I did the same thing as you, going down to 140 mg/week hoping to eliminate my AI. My estradiol seemed to float in the mid to upper 50s on that protocol. While I did feel "better" from the absence of an AI, that protocol still isn't optimal for me. I think having total E2 in the mid to upper 50s with low SHBG meant that my free E2 was most likely high. I'm still on 140 mg per week at the moment, and am trying to only take an AI here and there when I feel the need. I know this isn't really great because it's not consistent, but I hate the way AI's make me feel. I think ultimately the move may be to lower my dose from 140 down to 120 or maybe even 100, but my libido was never as good on 140 + no AI as it was on 200 + AI. For my personally, I did not see a change in my total E2 between an ED and EOD protocol. I am still currently doing ED just because of the low SHBG. Maybe you can try just taking a small dose of AI once a week? [/QUOTE]
