The doctor suggested that since he has me on clomid, the effects of clomid raise estrogen. Therefore, he has me on the slight dosage of .125 AI to combat the raised estrogen. You guys are suggesting there should not be an AI present here? I know I’m not the only one on clomid and an AI.
Ditch the AI ASAP. You’re E2 is way too low.
your e2 is low dude. do you really want to lower it even more… you can go a month on chlomid and not have any issues while e2 rises. at that point if you have symptoms then sure maybe take an ai. until then stop playing games with yoru health. For most docs this would be ovvious if they had any clue how bad low e2 is. They should be sued for malpractice when they drive mens e2 to the depths of depression and long term issues…

However, with Estradiol sensitive levels so low, do I WANT to block the estrogen?
No, regardless of the levels with either test, do you have any elevated E2 symptoms? I do not see how you could with those numbers and you want to focus on symptoms over numbers and ranges anyway.
No I did not. When cycling or blasting and the ratio is correct it is fine. But not on TRT.
This is a blast: note the E2?
This is TRT note the E2?
You see I’ve been there and got the bloods. I’m not talking from some book I read or random internet post. I do my own testing and have tons of mini blood tests. I’ve messing with this for over 4 years. Do I know it all shit no but I can tell when someone is posting bullshit or talking out their butt.
Ok, fair enough. I was mistaken on your position.
I realize I seem to be on the other side of a lot of discussions on this forum lately but there is some really bad advice being given and these newbies are listening and going to get hurt.
Got some wayout crazy TRT idea like T mono at 200mg/wk with no AI. Do it!
But to yourself, take bloods then come talk some new kid into trying it.
The advice comes right from an endocrinologist who has treated 1000s of patients with his protocols.
Very close to my current protocol. I know you are following my blog for upcoming bloods too. For what it’s worth these crazy protocols arent rooted here in this forum. They are protocols by doctors in the field treating patients and their protocols are rooted in science. Some of us just echo this stuff and some of us have been hurt by AIs.

I am really looking forward to seeing your new bloods. Do you know when you will be steady state on your T?
Today is 6 weeks so I just need to schedule it. I inject EOD so I don’t think it even matters the day.
I contacted Defy Medical in regards to taking the AI, despite my estradiol sensitive being low. I was told since the Clomid will raise estrogen, they are pairing it with a slight dose of the AI (.125mg) to not let it raise too much. They say that estradiol sensitive should return to a healthy range. My prescription is 12.5mg Clomid & .125mg Anastrozole.
To those saying ditch the AI - What are your thoughts on the above statement?
This is what I’m told form my doctor, who is working from a reputable t replacement company. I do appreciate the insight that has been shared here. I will continue on the suggested protocol, monitor my symptoms, and see how my blood labs come in, in 6 weeks. They say in 6 weeks we will see if all that is needed is to continue this treatment plan, or if T injections is the next step to be taken.
- You have no clue how much your e2 will rise when you start.
- You hve no clue if you will hve any symptoms at all.
- What if you overrespond to the ai?
You can come to a solid conclusion after spending time researching the boards . It will be clear as day. I don’t think you’ve put enough time answering these questions yourself. Don’t trust the board members alone for your health.
