[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 131612, member: 15043"] The way to do it without getting labs done constantly is to raise your testosterone dose first. With your free T being 18, and the top of the range being 28, I personally would increase your dose to at least 32mg EOD. Then what you do is take that dose without an ai until you start feeling worse. When that happens, start by taking an extremely low dose of ai. Something like 0.25mg of anastrozole once every 7 days. Anastrozole reaches steady state in 10 days, so just take that dose of ai for at least 10 days. If it doesn’t help, increase the frequency to 0.25mg once every 6 days. And wait 10 days to see if it helps. If it still didn’t help, increase to 0.25mg once every 5 days. And keep going like that until you notice some improvement. Then after it’s been around 40 days since you increased the testosterone dose, you can then go ahead and get labs done. After 40 days the testosterone should of reached a steady state. Then check the labs to see if the testosterone dose was enough to get your free T closer to the top of the range, and to see where your E2 sits. And of course if you increase your testosterone dosage and don’t ever feel worse, don’t even take an ai. Just wait at least 40 days and get some labs done to see where everything is. Also, this is just the way to do it if you want to try increasing your testosterone dose as a means to eliminate symptoms. You could also look into other factors, like your DHEA-S level, optimizing diet, exercising more and seeing if pregnenolone helps. [/QUOTE]
