Guest guest Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Bill Arimidex has a half life of 4 days so if your low start with .25 mgs every other day and follow this cut and paste so you don't go to low. ==================================================== 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 August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Bill, I take 60mg(.30cc) Test C(200mg) every Tuesday morning and every Saturday morning; HCG every Monday, Wenesday, and Friday morning .70cc(700 IU); and ardimex .25 every other day, I just put it in my pill box on Sunday night for the week. I have morning wood EVERY morning since on this protocal. I have only noticed a slight increase in testical size since taking HCG(8 months)DR. said my boys went from 5ml to 10ml, and now 1 is a 12ml; not exactly where they were, but I honesty never noticed the size until I went to the endo and the uro and they said the size; I then found out what normal was 15ml-30ml, my wife has never complained. Thanks, Don Need help from those who inject T and use Arimidex as well Hi all, If one is using gel or (in my case) shots, when is the time to take Arimidex? I.e., if the testosetrone is injected on a Monday morning, when should the Arimidex (.25mg) be taken (Monday when the shot was done, Monday night, the Sunday befroe, Monday and Tues, etc.)? Is it before, after, how soon before or how soon after? Do you find that Arimidex is best taken only on shot days or EOD or ??? I am injecting 50mg twice a week and my T and E2 went just outside the top of the range, so I am taking Anastrazole (0.25 mg pill). My sypmtoms are all over the place (water gain, sweating, hot flashes, sometime great AM wood, other times ED), fatigue, good energy - a pretty wild ride on " hills and valleys of TRT " rollercoaster. I would like to hear back from those who inject T and use Adex as well. What works for you - how much, how often, and relative to the shot when do you take it?

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 , Yes, every shot is 700 IU's; I have been on this protocal for the last 1 month; 7/26/10 test was 592 and 4/22/10 only doing HCG was 333. When I started HCG in January ,I was on 10mg of Angrogel test went up to 356(oly on Androgel) to 806 only doing HCG M,W,F, and sometimes Saturday; test range at Quest is 250-1100. I started to have a lot of anxiety in March, so I decreased down to 500 IU's and got a script for Test C (200mg) 75mg shot once weekly. I have increased my HCG back to 700 IU's and gone to 2x per week of 60mg total (30cc 2 per week) so I'm doing 120mg per week total (60mg x 2). I just did another blood test yesterday so I will see the numbers come back in a few days. I'm still not 100%, I say 80% there. I was told on 8/1/08 of low T, when I asked my primary Dr. to do a Testosterone test and the test came back at 248. It has been a long 2 years of educating myself and my endo's just to get HCG, Arimedex, and Test C. I have not gotten the right protocal yet, but heading down the right path now. This group has been so valuable to me from the knowledge from Phil and others that a Thank You doesn't cover it, You are changing Men's and their spouses lives for the better; this group has given me hope that I will have my life back to close to normal very soon; someone should tell men and wifes that getting your hormones in check doesn't happen overnight, it has been a 2 year struggle for me, I think 6 more months and I will just have to maintain to my blood test.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I take my .25mg ardimex at bed time every other night; just re-read your original message. My E2 has been the lowest of 21 on 10/3/2009, and a high of 41 on 2/12/08, 7/24/09 and on 7/26/10. Still trying to figure E2 out.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 and Bill, I do both; this month I'm trying SubQ, last month was IM; I have not noticed a difference. When doing Sub Q, I use a 1/2 " 28 G needle; when doing IM, I use a 1 " long needle and 25 G needle. I am trying both methods and recording my finding. I received a shipment of the pre-mixed HCG from ADC and I'm trying that this month. 1st month trying it; labs will tell if it is working.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Wow Don that's great to hear Dr.'s never told me how big my testis got but they were the size of small grapes before I started on HCG. But I do a lot less HCG then I started on. I started at 500 IU's 3x's a week. Then when I switched my Test C shot to every 3 days I did 400 IU's the 2 days each in between my Test C shots. Now today I do 250 IU's the day before my Test C shot. I can't help but think my Testis are not using up the HCG like they did when I first started. Today I can feel my Estradiol levels going up after an HCG shot. I am going to talk to my Dr. about stopping HCG for a time to see if this helps with my problems with Estradiol. Right now I am taking .5 to .75 mgs of Arimidex everyday to keep my Estradiol levels down. I don't know to many men needing this much.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I was doing 1 shot of Test C (80 Mg) once per week with 2 shots of HCG at 400 iu on days 5 and 6. Tested on day 4 and total T was 1050. Â Currently dropping to 40 mg once per week with the same HCG protocol. Â I get a lot of E2 with the HCG. Take 0.5 mg of arimides every other day. Considering going back to my original protocol which was a 50 mg Test shot twice a week and no HCG. This kept me in the 500-900 range for Total T. Still had to take some arimidex but not much.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I don't test on Day 4 my Dr. wants me to stop HCG no shot of it the day before labs and he wants me to do labs the morning of my next T shot. He was keeping me up at about the mid 800's. Then when he added HGH he lowered my dose of HCG from 400 IU'd the 2 days each in between my 80 mgs Test C shot every 3 days down to 250 IU's the day before my Test C shot. Then my labs were still up in the 800's he lowered my Test C shot from 80 mgs to 70 mgs. I do labs every 8 weeks and my levels started to come down some but not bad on the 3rd. set of labs after lowering the dose my levels fell to 500. And I feel Fatigued and have sore joints and muscles so now he upped my dose of Test C back to 80 mgs. I still after 6 weeks on this don't feel back. I know from past times of changing my dose it takes months to get back. After some reading at Dr. 's forum about Pregnenolone I am going to try it again but the cream. http://www.vitaminusa.com/prbocr2ozbyl.html The last time about 5 yrs ago that I tried Preg. it was a pill you put under your tongue. It drove up my Estradiol levels big time. I here this dose not happen on the creams.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Phil, The Dr.s didn't tell me outright, I had to ask them after they did the exam; the first time the endo was surprised that they were so small 5ml, and made a note in his file, he didn't tell me what he wrote. 8 months later they doubled in size to 10ml, he said we are on the right path. I need to ask about less HCG, or no HCG at all; but I surely will lose the boys.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Well I do know if ones testis are not up to it doing HCG will convert into Estradiol. I need to stop using it to tell if this is what is going on. I have been having this problem for 10 months now. I use to only need .25 mgs of Arimidex every 2 to 3 days but in the past 10 months I have needed .5 to 1mg everyday. I can't help but think my Testis are Desensitized to the HCG I was doing.
