High estrogen? Or decent ?

[poolshockguy]

Feel fine. Not on cycle right now. Only trt. Cyp 200. I dose only 40 units on Monday and 40 on Friday =160mg weekly. Subq/shallow IM. I switched from stomach subq injections and now using 1/2" slin pins in higher upper glute for subq.
This result shows high estrogen. I do have anastrozole for doc. I stopped using it 6 months ago when I lowered my standard cookie cutter dose of 200mg weekly to 160mg to avoid using AIs on trt. Should I lower my dose more or just take thr 1mg weekly anastrozole? Opinions welcome please.
I'm 5'10 160lbs. Not fat lol

That is not to high. Are you retaining water? If you feel fine but want it lower would only do 0.5 mg a week

It's 70-80% above ref range, 47 for a eclia test is ok but this is ultrasensitive. I'd like it a little lower since we're talking for long term but on the other hand taking AI longterm perhaps is not the best thing either. If i was you i'd keep the same dosage but pin every day or every other day tops. I'm pretty confident your e2 will go a little lower.

Since you're doing subc there's no worries creating scar tissue, you can do 12 units ED easily. It's just cumbersome doing it every day but if that makes you avoid a medication i think it worths it.

If you chose to go with anastrozole don't take 1mg because it seems too much for your dosage and current e2 level. 0,25 twice a week or every four days might be ok.

Good advice thanks

I'll take those numbers in consideration. Half of my 1mg anastrozole weekly. They are pretty small to quarter up.
Was also thinking of taking 1 of the exemestane 25mg just to permanently lower the #s a hair for a Kickstart. Not even sure if 1 pill this week will lower it. Dr is a cookie cutter so I already know he would say I'm supposed to be taking the anastrozole lol. But I just stock pile it

As your T values are way over TRT range it is not surprising that your E2 is as well. If i was going to keep taking the same dose of testosterones i would do something to lower the E2. As high E2 has pointed towards less then healthy outcomes from the few small studies i have seen. I don't wait for symptoms as that means damage has already been done. I prefer to be proactive not reactive myself.
