    Who prescribe your trt? I'm assuming yourself? I've never heard test prop being prescribed for that and it seems like a rather high dose......

    Estradiol value = 4 Will it cause me trouble?

    What's your lab's scale for normal? My lab's normal range is 0-39. If that's true for you, then yes, 4 sucks and you'll feel like crap. For comparison, I take .5 adex weekly when I'm running 600 Test/wk.

    With my very limited knowledge of the subject, using test prop for TRT seems overly busy. You might consider posting your lab results, all of them, in the blood work section along with your trt protocol.

    Agree with Charlie. Your protocol is messed up for a doc prescribed trt. EOD pins/prop is just not necessary for trt plus 350/wk is super high, again for trt.

    Crashed estrogen I hear is miserable but that's why you do bloodwork. Time to lower your AI. You may find you need none at all. Takes a while to get dialed in

    Don't know your lab reference values.
    But from my perspective, for EOD 50mg test prop and 0.25 adex twice a week, 4 is too low.
    How do you feel? If you feel depressive and down, then I would suggest you to stop taking arimidex.
    Did you ever wonder why people need different doses of AIs? It's because some people produce much more aromatase enzyme compared to others. Thus, they need more aromatase inhibitors to block that amount of aromatase.
    May be you are on the other side and produce small amount of aromatase?
    Most people don't even need aromatase inhibitors at that dosage (your dosage is very close to TRT dosage, and most of TRT patients do not need AIs).
    So what I propose here is to stop taking arimidex for a while and repeat your labwork.
    Good luck

    He's on 175mg test per week.

    He does need bloodwork.

    I can't believe a doctor is using EOD injection protocol with prop.

    You should be on a long ester test like cyp or enanthate.
    AI should be around .25 once or twice a week depending how much you convert.

    Some people are esto sensitive , some not at all.
    Definitely need blood work as your doctor is a fucking quack.

    Have your doctor switch you to 50 mgs cypionate x 2 per week. Forget the AI and get BW in 6 weeks.
    All great comments above. Especially the quack part....

    Do you mean you passed up 50mg T-eth 2X per week in favor of this T=prop E2D protocol? Why?

    Strongly consider you follow Kel's advice and/or consider E3D at around 40-45mg T-eth or T-cyp.

    Also, an E value of 4 on any scale is bad. Lots of problems, but mainly you feel like shit and your dick goes limp.

    Recovery will be rapid if you just stop using the AI, it has a short half life. E should be back in range within a week or so.

    I think the op thinks the testosterone shots will help restart his natural production and increase it as well.

    If so OP, I'm sorry to inform you, testosterone shots will make you stop production all together of testosterone, and you'll be dependent on shots for the rest of the time you live.

    I just started trt through a local dr. He started me on 80mgs test cyp. twice a week with .5 arimidex twice a week,follow up BW on the 8th. My original BW,test was low,but he also said my estrogen was real low. I'm two weeks in and I'm wondering (because of what I read here)if maybe it arimidex is overkill...will get copies of both blood panels as soon as I see doc again. Gonna follow his prescribed protocol until told otherwise...any advice or suggestions on what to look for?

    Yes, that's a lot of anastrozole for 80 mg 2X/week. I also think that's a higher T dose than you need as a starting dose, but what's done is done. My philosophy is that you never start and AI unless you have labs to show you need it and then you titrate the dose with follow up labs. Most guys who keep their T-dose in the 100 to 120 mg per week range and break it up into at least 2X doses per week will have both T & E labs in the upper end of the normal range, but still within range and will not need an AI.

    I'd start by reading the sticky on best practices in TRT. It's near the top of the stickies on the first page of the forum. In that post, there's a link to another post describing the eye dropper/vodka method for that works well for borderline high E. It's very difficult to dose anastrozole correctly with borderline cases. Too often guys crash their E and make things a LOT worse.

    You aren't lying, I use adex and literally can never get my E stablized.

    Thanks, Y55G. I think I've got them all and believe that account has been nuked. If it hasn't, it will be forthcoming.
