1mg is a very large dose for a guy on just 100 mg of T per week. 2mg is HUGE. Can you post your E2 labs? I'm really questioning your doc's wisdom in this matter.

By comparison, I just finished an experimental run of 200mg T per week (I have very high SHBG) and I was using 0.5mg anastrozole per week (eye dropper daily dosing method) and it crushed my E2 to 12.1 pg/L (range 8-35). I have since lowered my T dose to 180 (TT and FT were way too high) and completely eliminated the anastrozole. I just added DIM. Next labs are scheduled in another 4 weeks and more than likely I will scale back the T dose to 160mg and keep lowering the dose until FT comes back into range. I'm working out the details of a alternative to lowering SHBG with low dose synthetic anabolic steroids (e.g., Winstrol or Anavar or Danazol).

my estriol level was 42 pg/mL on March 1 it went up to 56 pg/mL on June 5 while I was taking the 1 mg per week of anastrozole.I think that is why the doc is increasing my dose of Test C and anastrozole

I'm amazed that 1mg per week did not work for you. It kills my E2 level. I would not be hugely concerned with 56 pg/mL unless you are using other synthetic steroids with your T, but it's getting to the range where I would do something too. There's conflicting thoughts among the experts on how high a guy's E2 can go. I've personally set my limit at 50 pg/mL using the LabCorp Sensitive assay.

Labs don't lie, so in your case, perhaps 2mg might be the right dose for you. However, close monitoring with periodic labs is advised.

Doc said lowering my estrogen levels will free up more free testosterone from my total test level.I feel great since starting TRT and have made good progress in the gym
