It is the estrogen. Any signs of gyno yet? - feel for it
Take 1mg anastrozole 3 times per week. You can expect to feel changes in 5-7 days. Do not make short term changes. After 10 days, get E2 tested. If you get E2=30, with a target of E2=22pg/ml, new dose = old dose X 30/22
If you test E2 before starting anastrozole, you are not able to refine your dose until the second lab work is done.
This problem was very predicable. Do your homework.
