ESTRADIOL advice

[pepous]

Hello,
my estradiol is 113 rages are 0-160
So I am not in optimal range ... optimal range is 53-80

How much of arimidex should I add? .5 / week?

[Swifto]

Estradiol (E2) can be lowered with AI's.

Are you on cycle, on HRT or off cycle?

[pepous]

OFF cycle , I am natural

so what doses? Can I feel benefits ?

[pepous]

OK....
I will add 0.5 mg/ week in 2 weekly doses.

After 14 days I will go to blood work if my estradiol will be 90 and my goal is 75 I will increase dose of arimidex by 90/75=1,2

I am from czech republic. central europe.

PMOL/L range 0-160

optimal range I counted according this:

"Estrogen (estradiol) should be in the mid to lower normal range. If estradiol levels are in the upper one-third of the normal reference range, or above the normal reference range, this excessive level of estrogen should be reduced."

I also found there ( on this page)

(6) If all of the above fail to increase free testosterone and lower excess estradiol, then ask your doctor to prescribe the potent aromatase inhibiting drug Arimidex (anastrozole) in the very low dose of one-half (0.5 mg) mg, twice a week. Arimidex is prescribed to breast cancer patients at the dose of 1 to10 mg a day. Even at the high dose prescribed to cancer patients, side effects are rare. In the minute dose of 0.5 mg twice a week, a man will see an immediate drop in estradiol levels and should experience a rise in free testosterone to the optimal range.

So should I increase my doses? double

My Estrogen is/was way high. I was above the range. Through many discussions with people on this forum I decided on half a pill (.5mg) of Arimidex EOD. Will test my blood after 1 month to see how this worked. Arimidex is strong stuff, but my feeling is 3 times a week or EOD would be better.
