Guest guest Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for having this group and posting all this good info! I have been getting test C shots now for a few months and I was starting to think I was crazy with all the side effects I have been having.... So, Thanks! Anyway, I have been experiencing trouble voiding my urine, feeling tired and dizzy, not able to get or maintain a good erection and pain in my rectum. I shared the info I got from this site about high E levels with my doctor and today he got my labs and my estradiol level was 79. He agreed to try and get the level down and gave me anastrozole 1mg. He wants me to start by taking .5mg once per week. I get my test c injections once per week 150mg and my test level today was 950. My doctor says my labs look good so he does not mind my high level. I am trying to get HCG but the insurance won't pay for it yet so i'm working on it... Any advice on my specific situation would be greatly appreciated!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hi crazytrainman666 and Welcome, Your Dr. is good your lucky with your Estradiol E2 levels this high I found mine to be over 90. I tired taking .5 mgs of Arimidex every other day after 6 weeks my levels were just down to 90. So my Dr. upped my dose to .5 mgs everyday after about 4 weeks my levels came down to 24. The first thing to happen was my involuntary nocturnal erections that appear during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep came back. So strong it woke me up and my ED was gone after having this problem for over 10 yr. The slow voiding you having is your Prostate high E2 levels made my Prostate enlarge. And I had a low pain in my rectum over time keeping my E2 levels in what I call the sweet spot my Prostate went back down. I even had Panic Attacks for yrs getting my E2 levels down this went away. Talk to your Dr. about at least trying .5 mgs every other day. Or it can take you a long time to ge this down. Also I gauge my E2 levels by my wood if I think I had not erections in my sleep I try to see if I can get it up before I get out of bed. If it takes me a long time and it bends I know my levels are going back up. If I can't get it up at all I know I drove down my E2 levels to low. My Dr. lets me dose my Arimidex by how I feel so try keeping a log on how your feeling and how much your taking. So you can tell if your going high or falling to low going to low is just as bad as being to high. Most men find all they need to keep in the sweet spot is .25 mgs every 2 to 3 days. Here is a copy of a file I make on doing this. ================================================ How To Take Arimdex and not go down on your Estradiol to Low. What I found is if you go to low taking arimidex, it's the length of time your to low, if your too low say for 8 weeks it can take your body a longer time to make more Estradiol. Bottom line is to know how not to go to low. Keep a log on your dose and how you feel men going to low can't get it up taking Viagra. I went to low when I first tried Arimidex and did not know about going to low or how one feels to low, so I was low a good 8 weeks. I did not know I was low until my next labs. The best gage I have found to control your Estradiol levels is to gage your night time and morning wood. At good levels or what I call the sweet spot you get your night time and morning wood back so strong it will wake you up and you can hang a coat on it. Most men do good taking .25 mgs or 1/4 of a 1mg. pill, I use a pill cutter to cut the small pill in half then I stand it on the cut end and use a single edge razor to cut this in half. A good way to take arimidex is by how high your levels are. I tested over 90 pg/ml so we tried doing .5 mgs every other day after 8 weeks my next set of labs showed it did not move below 90, test said >90. So we did .5 mgs. every day in about 2 weeks I got some strong night time and morning wood back after not having them for many yrs. I kept doing this dose and in 8 weeks my next set of labs said <20 back in the day labs were like this they did not have to good labs we have today they could not read lower the 20. My Dr. told me this looks to low to stop taking the Arimidex. The one thing I noticed was my wood stopped and stopping the Arimidex my wood came back in about 7 weeks my next test at 8 weeks was 24 pg/ml. So we went back on the Arimidex but the Dr. told me to take .5 mgs every 3 days I was on this dose not a week and lost wood. This is when I figured out going to low you lose wood. And the longer your too low the longer it takes to get levels back up. I stopped the arimidex right away and got my wood back in 4 days. I then after playing with the dose for a time found the best dose is .25mgs every 2 to 3 days. So lets say your labs are less the 50 pg/ml if your take .5 mgs you can go down so dam fast your miss the sweet spot of your wood and go to low. It's best with lower levels 50 and under to do less Arimidex .25mgs every 2 days if later your lose wood when it comes back go to every 3 days. I have found estradiol is the hardest hormone to control, it goes up or down from month to month some times I need .25mgs every 2 days other times I need ..25mgs everyday most of the time I do well on every 3 days. So between wood and labs I do great and so do most of the men I have told this to. I keep a log on how much I am taking and how I feel. Doing this and reading back in my log I was able to tell when I was going to high or to low my Dr. lets me dose my arimidex by how I feel. Over the yrs. I have posted this story until I am blue in the face.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 If you will do 2 shots a week at 75mg instead of one at 150 you will have less E2 conversion also. 24 hours after a 150 mg shot your total T is probably in the 2000+ range. How many days after your shot was the 950 value?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 My doctor checked my levels a week after the shot (7 days) and my level was 950. Also, when I got my anastrozole my doctor told me to take a pill as soon as I could, without reading the label, I took a 1mg pill by mistake... anyway, the next day I felt great and had some great erections but it only lasted a day and then my problems came back.... three days later I took .5mg and that night experienced some wood, not as good as the first time though.... I'm gonna try ..5mg every other day for a little while and see if it works.... > > > > Hi, > > > > I just wanted to say thanks for having this group and posting all this good info!
