Here are the results...I knew my estro was probably high due to lack of libido and some gyno flair ups. Been runnin test e 600mg/week and started ADEX 3 weeks ago. This was taken 2 days ago. So my question is should I up the adex or keep it at .5 ED or add possibly Nolva since estro is elevated.

Thanks for y'all's mouth and knowledge!
You should really post the ranges to your bloodwork It will help give advice. Besides your estradiol being high you're also having slight stress on your liver. I would suggest 1800 mg of N-Acetyl Cysteine every day ( over-the-counter) that will help you deal with your liver stress tremendously.
Keep your AI at .5ED and retake your bloodwork two weeks later. Adjust dosage accordingly After bloodwork, if necessary.
Hope this helps.
bigunAgreed. I bet it was pretty high and is continuing to come down since starting ai 3 weeks ago.
Another test in 2 weeks with ai constant will give us a realistic picture of what's taking place.
Right...yea I started my AI 4 weeks into the cycle. So I think that's why it's high. Do you think that's a really high level tho?
bigunModerately high bro. Honestly surprised your still having libido/ed issues with that e2 number. Have you noticed any improvement in those 2 areas since starting the adex?
I'm seeing improvement forsure man. I really do think my estro was spiking before I started the Adex, so just glad I was able to before it went any further.
bigunRight on! Congrats on the improvement. Be aware that it may go from bad-good-bad as you transition from high e2-appropriate e2-low e2. You're still on a high dose of adex, IMHO. Which is cool since you were trying to lower high e2 but you're maintenance dose may need to be lower to regulate it and keep it at a constant 20-40.
My suggestion would be:
1) stay at your current level and retest at 2 weeks to assess where you are then. Don't freak if your libido goes to shit again during those 2 weeks. You may have just surpassed the " normal " range for e2 and dipped too low (honestly expecting this). Keep the ai consistent and see what the bloods in 2 weeks say then report back.
2) look into something for those liver values that are high. WhyNot suggested NAC. Don't have personal experience with it but ppl say its good. I use Esssentiale Forte and Liv 52 (both sourceable through Amazon) and I know they work.
Anywho, keep your head up. First few cycles seemed I was getting bloods more than I was pinning hormone trying to figure out e2. Be diligent now and you'll learn your body which will pay you dividends down the road.
The .5 should do the trick. I only run .25\3d, but I run it all the time not wait for trouble.
