    Ok, will stay with the 100 or maybe even drop to 75? What do you guys think. I'll be adding HCG so that would probably make up the 25 difference if I dropped T to 75 correct?
    What about the AI. I'm pretty convinced and the Estradiol level shows I'm in the high normal. In my mind im crashing, extremely sore, swollen and milky looking nipples, dragging to and in the gym over last couple weeks.
    As you saw above, total T is 751 (250-1100)
    Free T is 163. (35-155).
    My question I guess is does total T not matter that much since free is above top range? How do I bring that down into higher normal while raising total T into higher normal? Or do I need to? Thank you for joining in Beethoven, I'm really trying to do this correctly.
    I have called my Doc and will have more blood drawn tomorrow to test FSH, E2, T3 and T4.
    I'd love to get Kelkel's input too but don't have enough posts to pm him.

    If it were me, I'd drop to 90mg or 80mg. One's reactions to dose changes are not linear, and small changes can have a big impact.

    I believe hCG will add some to the Testosterone levels but the jury is out on exactly how much. Dr. Crisler considers it a "minute" amount. Either way, it's not the reason to add hCG to one's protocol, and blood work will tell you where you stand.

    Don't be quick to jump on the AI bandwagon. Try to ride out the symptoms for the first couple months if you can. If you can't, my advice is to take Anastrozole on "as needed" basis only (don't even think about taking it on a regular basis), and remember that 0.25mg goes a long way.

    Don't worry about Total Testosterone. Free Testosterone is what's important.

    Also, will 500iu be enough to make the fellas gain some size back?
