With T+AI three times per week, your T and E2 levels are quite steady and concerns re peaks and troughs are largely reduced. My advice is to test halfway between injections.
For the T competitive drug anastrozole to work properly, it needs to match serum FT levels, so having both steady is important and you are there now.
Half-life of anastrozole is quite long and there is no need to dose ED.
Most [almost all] find that E2=22pg/ml is optimal for energy, libido and mood. To get there, increase anastrozole dose by a factor of 31/22 or 50%. E2-31 may be affecting you.
Small doses of anastrozole in vodka are often easily managed dosed by the drop, get a dropper bottle and count the number of drops per ml of the solution [not water]. Drops per ml depends on surface tension of the solution, dropper shape and material.
You have not shown your T dose in mg’s. I could guess that dose is 105 or 210mg/week.
You need to test:
TT
FT
E2
PSA if >50
CBC
hematocrit
TSH
You can also feel down if thyroid function is low. See below for “oral body temperatures” to check. If you are iodine deficient from not using iodize salt there is your cause.
This time of year many are Vit-D3 deficient, depends in climate, outdoor activity and clothing coverage. Many need 5000iu Vit-D3 per year.

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.
