When on TRT, HPTA is shutdown. TRT is forever and there is no PCT. You need low dose hCG or SERM to preserver testes and fertility - if you value those.
What does your TRT look like?
3.5mg anastrozole implies TRT of + 300mg T ester per week. You cannot deliver anywhere near that with androgel. Note that transdermal T absorption is typically very poor when there are thyroid issues. When training, sweating and showering, transdermal T absorption is further compromised.
With TRT, you can get AI dose dialed in to get a good E2 lab result. But bdol can moderately increase T–>E2, However if dbol affects liver function [AST/ALT] liver clearance of E2 might be affected, increasing serum E2 levels and your balance is gone. 4 weeks is not really a bit deal, but also too short to working things out via lab results.
If a doctor is involved, AST/ALT issues will lead to a problem with your doctor.
Do not ignore comments re thyroid and iodine. Thyroid function controls your energy levels [ATP].

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.
