Load #29 12mm 0.5ml syringes and set aside for later use.
Do not refrigerate. T has ~ 0.9% benzyl alcohol that prevent bacterial growth.
With 150mg T per week, most will need 1.5mg anastrozole per week to get near E2=22pg/ml - 80 pmol/L. But a few, not rare, need 1/4th that dose as they are anastrozole over-responders.
With weekly injections, at first there was not enough anastrozole to compete with high E2 then at end of week the situation can be reversed.
You can take an anastrozole twice a week at time of T injections for a simpler method. Then as T and anastrozole levels rise and fall they will roughly track each other which is favorable for that drug that is competitive with T.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab number and ranges.
The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
