Latest Blood work to include DHEA and Prenenolone

[kewe]

Here is my latest blood work.. This blood was taken on a Saturday which is the day that I normally would take my T. This blood was taken 3 days after donating a pint of blood.

My current protocol is .5 T every 3.5 days normally every Tues night 7 pm and Sat morn at 7 am. I take Anastrozole Tuesday Morning and Friday morning. Also take DHEA 100 and Pregnenolone - I asked my Doc to test my Pregnenolone and I was 17 - the recommended is at a high level I am not sure I can make or I have a crappy version that I am using. I take D3, multi Vitamin, Fish oil, Liv 52, HCG 3 x week and 5 mg Cialis.

Your estradiol is crashed.

Your estradiol is crashed.

Not necessarily.

Op what are you asking here?

I haven't changed anything in my routine at all and my E goes up and down - it varies all the time based on my blood work.

I am taking 1 mg of anastrozole twice a week - should I switch to a 1/2 twice a week or 3/4 and see how that does?

how do you feel ?

[kewe]

To be honest - I feel a little better now then I have. I think some of it was because my Hemacrit was at 54.1 and after I gave blood I feel much better. My Libido is down but to be very honest - I have been so far from normal for a long time I fogrot what Normal feels like. I have blood work in 12 weeks.

if I pin Test at 7pm and Say 7am - when is the best time to take the Anastrazole? I have been taking it the day of or the day before but I see other people taking it the day after

Not necessarily.

9.6 pg/ml is far too low on the ECLIA assay. A sensitive test would absolutely reveal that his estradiol is undetectable.

Definitely contributing to the loss of libido.

I would definitely recommend cutting back on the Anastrozole.

Are you dead set on staying on this dose of testosterone as well? Your free T is double the top of the reference range, so you could surely lower your dose and still reap the benefits of TRT...and allow yourself to take an even lower dose of Anastrozole.

0.5mg 2x a week might be better, even 0.25mg . i would try both and get bloods during each and see where you are at. i mean i rec o.5-0.25mg eod ON CYCLE.

Based on your level why not take .5 anastrozole once a week the day after your first pin of the week? Why do you need twice a week your estrogen is crashed.

Thanks. I will make two changes. I will reduce my amount of T and the amount of Anastrozole and see where I am at.

The only change that I made is that I added vitamin D, DHEA and Pregnenolone - I am not sure if that up'ed my T or not.

I would agree that you can probably lower your T dose. Personally I would start with .4 (2x) per week, if I am correct that is a reduction from 200 mgs per week to 160? That is exactly what I did after 4 yrs of 200 per week.
I would however disagree that you "crashed" your E2. Yes it's on the low end but not crashed IMO. That said, anastrozole is very potent. I personally do .5mg once a week. I also only pin once per week. In your case I would try .25. Twice a week and see what your blood looks like in 6-8 weeks.

If you lower your T and the A.I. To this, I would be shocked if your E2 was higher than 25-30 moving forward. Just my opinion as you know everyone is different.

[bullshark99]

^^^^ also, would decrease the HcG to 250 twice per week. Anything more than that is really not necessary and also contributing to estrogen conversion. Not to mention, expensive, will stretch your vial a little longer.

Thanks for all the advice. I will make the adjustments and see where that places me and go from there.
