You need to inject twice a week and if it turns out that you need anastrozole, take at time of injections. Try to always do injecting ~halfway between injections to eliminate lab changes driven by lab timing changes. You are a fast T metabolizer, so this is more of a requirement for you than for most guys.
Please present future labs in a better fashion and lab ranges should be shown with the results.
Routine labs:
TT
FT
E2
CBC
hematocrit
AST/ALT
PSA
- DRE once a year
Find 25mg DHEA on the vitamin shelves.
RBC, hematocrit [HTC] and hemoglobin will increase with TRT, need to track. A few guys have TRT lead to blood that is too thick.
Post more info as per 1st sticky.
Thyroid is more than TSH. See below re oral body temperatures. Using iodized salt is very important for the whole family.
This is the basic boiler plate…

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.
