Hi All, back again after the latest labs…the labs were done two days after last doses, which in turn is the day of my next doses (EOD)
The results are as follows:
E2: 134 pmol/L (Range 40 - 161)
TT: 24 nmol/L(Range >12 nmol/L)
SHBG: 19.2 nmol/L (Range 11.1 - 78.1)
FT: 691 pmol/L (Range 180 - 739)
I am happy with the TT levels and fairly happy with the FT levels. My E2 levels are about 40 - 50 points to high. My SHBG has also increased a bit. So I suppose I should increase my AI (anastrozole) dosage? This will bring down both the E2 count and SHBG, not so?
My question now is by how much would I increase my AI dose?
To help answer the above, the following is my current dosing:
Test Cyp: 0.25ml of Test Cyp (250mg/ml) 3 x week / EOD (Total 0.75 ml = 187.5. mg Test Cyp / week)
HcG: 250IU 3 x week / EOD = 750 Iu’s / week
Anastrozole: 0.32 mg’s 3 x week / EOD = 0.96 mg’s / week
Is the E2 level and Anastrozole dose linear?
Would that mean that I would have to calculate the increase in my AI dose by:
80 (desired E2 level) / 134 (current E2 level) = 0.6
Current dose giving 0.6 = 0.96 mg’s / week. Therefore new dose would be 0.96*/0.6=1.6 mg’s / week = .53 mg’s 3 x week / EOD.
Is that right? It seems a bit excessive, especially considering that in the posts above I thought I was an AI over responder…
I am at a loss for words seeing as my new labs show the same level as the previous labs and this after the Test does was reduced by 75%. It seems that this reduction in Test had no effect on the E2 level at all. Is that even possible?
I am even wondering whether my body may be taking a very long time to respond to the therapies, although the T levels did decrease with the exact factor of the decrease in dosage so E2 is the problem…HEEELLLPPPP ![]()
Thanks, all help would be greatly appreciated…
Cheers
