total test: 1134
free: 401 i think he said

Repost with ranges.
Post all other tests that you have.


Arimidex, 5x/week, his is tremendous dose, do not do it.
Unless he said one pill every fift day, that would be acceptable.

Take one pill every fourth day or better cut the pill in half and take half a pill every other day. Do not pre-cut pills ahead, they break uneven, you want to make sure that between two halfs you actually got one complete pill.

It would be a good idea to find out what kind of estrogen test you have got.
Some tests are not good.
Next time make sure it is ultrasensitive.

Check all estrogens.
Ask for EstroEssence from Genova Diagnostics.

it was an estradiol test, and you're saying to not do what my doctor says?

Post name, value, units, range and name of laboratory.

YES, FIVE Arimidex pills per week is TO MUCH.

[guyfromkop2]

That is a ton of Arimidex. I am taking half a pill twice a week on a similar amount of test. I suppose everyone is different and the need to manage estrogen varies, but that is a pretty big difference. Keep an eye on those estrogen levels if you choose your Dr.'s path.

[guyfromkop2]

i dont doubt my doctor at all, he's been in this field for a while and is part of some pretty prestigious groups.

[rightship3]

BTW: how are you feeling on your current routine of 4 pumps a day, and 3mg of arimidex a week?

i feel a million times better, sex drive is through the roof, recovery is a million times better, and i'm just in a better mood all together. and i'm losing weight and gaining strength. i'm a powerlifter so recovery is big for me. when i started i was 340, i'm down 13lbs now in 3 months which isnt much, but i didnt change a thing and my overal body comp is changing for the better. i just had a meet so i was more focused on that and not changing anything dramatic, my lifts have been going through the roof. now that it's over i'm goign to focus more on keeping the balance of losing weight and getting stronger. my goal is to get down to 280-300 and stay put

We are all ears.
We want to learn from the best.
Please describe what your doctor did for you in the last couple of years. But with details, please, devil is in the details.
Describe also any other cases that you are familiar with.
It is cutting edge science, nothing is cut in stone.
