I had an appointment with my endo-ish person yesterday and realized I hadn't checked in in a while. I've been on anastrozole for about six weeks, and it didn't stop my cycles either. Though she said it would start working immediately, my doc wants me to give it more time. The next step before putting me on a monthly injection is imaging of the offending organs, and I really want to avoid that. (We both think my symptoms are fairly consistent with nothing being "wrong," but she's a doctor so has to be cautious or something.) She also wants me to increase my dose, so I'm going to try Androgel 1.62% again, at the risk of getting more changes when I can't handle anything changing. She doesn't think it will help with the cycles (which was the opinion of my first endo) but she does think it will help with my mood. (I'm still severely depressed.) My plan is to get blood work done next week and switch to the higher dose of T then.
