hey hi
My test e and estradiol results came back and I'd really appreciate some guidance on the 20mg Anastrozole I'm taking 1 x per day.
Increase the dose??
2 months of 220 mg / ml 1 x 2 week intervals.

Test E is 1560 ng/DL = 15.6 ng/ml

Estradiol is 271 pg / ml = 0.271 ng/ml

by my math that's a 1.73% conversion from the testosterone to the estradiol. (0.271 ng/15.6 ng = 0.0173 x 100) = 1.73 %

Should my Anastrozole be increased?.
No apparent side affects!

thanks
 
Dafuq...271pg/ml is literally WAY over the reference range. I’d look back at your bloodwork and see if you misread it. Also, 20mg of anastrozole is not right either. Anastrozole is dosed in 1mg tablets, and anywhere near 20mg daily would be insane. Also, 220mg test administered once every 2 weeks is dumb unless you’re using undecanoate, which I doubt you are.
 
Yes both are way way over.The estradiol is 271.0 pg/ml -you meant ng/ml above. (range = 49 - 291 pg/mL for mid-luteal phase in women.)
So I do not know what it should be in men??.
Heard >20 is not good in men.
Serum testosterone is 1560.0 ng/DL (range 264-900 for nonobese men <39) and I am 69.
Yes the Anastrozole is 1mg/day, not 20mg - my error ??
The testosterone is the enanthate, so every 2 weeks is nominal.
The levels are very elevated due to my cirrhotic liver which apparently isn't eliminating either compound from my system.
This was my first blood workup since starting my own TRT so NOW I know whats going on..
My hepatologist concurs with this. He does NOT know I am using testosterone enanthate @ 220 mg/2wks IM.
If the levels don't drop I'll probably be dumping a heck of a lot of test e.
 
really appreciate the input,
Despite new research showing the benefits of TRT in older men with cirrhosis, i.e., reversals of muscle wasting, increased libidos, confidence, positive outlook, mental clarity, and memory recall my doc is not on board wit TRT.
Doctors these days tend to hesitate when it comes to a therapy but don't hesitate to order never ending series of $$ tests that their clinics now perform. Ultrasounds, blood work, x-rays, and nerve induction tests etc.can be done in-house at the physicians clinic.
I will be stopping the bimonthly doses until the test results down into acceptable ranges.
again thanks
 
Once every two weeks is not normal. My doc has me pinning 2x a week and I'm on cyp which has a slightly longer half life

Yep.
But his Test is 1560.
He said it is because his liver isn't functioning properly because of cirrhosis.
 
Great numbers for building muscle but... Yeah, if your liver isn't eliminating the compounds you have an issue that needs to be addressed.
 
just to clarify I am currently pinning once every 2 weeks (bi monthly) with 220 mg/ ml testosterone enanthate.
Started 3 months ago at once per week, briefly stopped due to crazy PIP, restarted again and recently dropped to once every 2 weeks.
