Was hoping you guys could weigh in on my most recent bloodwork. I am on TRT at 100mg per week (shots are 50mg Monday morning and 50mg Thursday afternoon). I am currently on no aromatase inhibitors (I have been off them 6 weeks now). When I did use them though, my AI of choice was Aromasin.
Let me know your thoughts. Would it be worth it to up my dosage to 120mg per week to get my Testosterone level in the 800-900s? Blood was taken right 12 hours before my next shot.
Also, since my Estradiol came back at 38.3 pg/ml would you recommend a small dosage of Aromasin (say 6.25mg once or possibly even twice a week). I am also on 1mg of Finasteride a day as a heads up.
