Anastrozole is used to modulate E2. Serum anastrozole levels need to match T levels. Injecting once a week creates high peaks then drops that makes anastrozole dosing quite impossible.
Ask your provider for:
- self injections 80mg twice a week
- .75mg anastrozole at time of injections
-
250iu hCG SC EOD
do labs always half way between injections
Then T levels will be steadier and anastrozole can mange that.
For each 100mg/week T, typically 1mg/week anastrozole is a good starting point. In your case, 1.5mg/week. Both T and anastrozole will rise and drop together twice a week.
Clinic may object, they make money with the injections. Least cost would be a script in-hand.
You can inject T with #29 0.5ml [not 1.0ml] 1/2" insulin syringes. ~$14 at Sams/Walmart house brand Relion [made by BD]. No Rx needed in many jurisdictions. Inject hCG with #31, 5/16", 0.5ml. Avoid 0.3ml syringes, too small to hand for males.
Your labs were probably done after one week and represent your low levels for the week.
Your E2 target should be E2=22 pg/ml
