Doctor prescribed me test cyp 100mg/ml and 2 different AI’s (not sure if I am supposed to or should run them while just running test?) I do not have high estrogen at the moment, should I run the AI’s now as prescribed or just/if I take a break from TRT and/or just save them for if my estrogen starts to become elevated?
I wouldn’t touch AI unless you actually need to.
Run your test as prescribed, if any high estrogen symptoms pop up after the first 3 months - introduce an AI at the lowest possible dose to reduce high estrogen symptoms. I’m assuming your weekly dose here is 100mg/wk, which is unlikely to need an AI.

The AI’s can cause hair loss and can screw with your lipids. It’s would be better if you can do without an AI and in the event you do need one, micro dose it until you know how you respond.
There are some who are over-responders, in my case even a 0.050 anastrozole can ruin me for weeks.
A.I causing hair loss?
Any references for this, first I’ve heard of it?
Yes, 73% of women on anastrozole report hair loss as a side effect. Men are way more sensitive to AI’s, so it doesn’t take a high dosage to cause hair loss.
There was a member who started TRT, and was on finasteride and anastrozole and the poor guy was losing hair fast.
What kind of doctor prescribed this?

Typical TRT mill protocol. If your dose is 100mg/ml and 1ml a week this is a proper starting dose. You may need a bit more but likely not much. However, you are unlikely to over aromatize on that dose meaning… you don’t need an AI. Definitely not from the start. If you are one of those that DO NEED an AI you will find out in short order.
Enclomaphene is not needed on TRT.

Yep another windmill TRT clinic. Also the enclomaphene will block the effects of estrogen in the heart, brain, liver and the pancreas, therefore losing out on some of the benefits of TRT.
