My questions are basically:

- How often should I Inject? My Dr. says once a week but I've been hearing that splitting up the doses works MUCH better.
- He also prescribed an AI should I need it (Arimadex). Should I use it right off the bat? Can I split up doses of this as well? Some people I've heard from on TRT say not to use it unless I start having side effects? Is there a danger to using it in smaller amounts for preventative reasons?

This looks like my levels before I started. If you’re having bad symptoms and life is hard then go away and get on trt. If you’re feeling good and you don’t have anything to complain about then going on trt would be the wrong choice for now. No reason to take an AI before the first bloodworks Couple months into trt show you need AI.

Also... if you ever end up needing an AI, arimidex is about the worst choice for long term use because it’s the harshest on cholesterol. Weird of your doctor to suggest that.
