How about just spend the 75 bucks or whatever it is for where you'd go to get bloods immediately? I don't understand 'waiting for sides'. Why get the sides if you don't have to? You get the blood test now, if estro is high, then start ai at a very low dose. Then get them again a few weeks later and adjust as necessary. By that point the test should be in full effect and you've minimized side effects. I don't think that can be argued with. (maybe it can, some of you just like to argue no matter what..jabjab..) I understand in some places you can't just go get them. If you're in that boat, I'm sailing with you. I'm working with an endocrinologist now so I don't have to leave the state. If you can't afford the test more often, well that's a whole nutha story I guess.

I think the argument at that point could be; where you want the number to be. I've read in some sort of scientific test that an adult male should be between 20-30 for optimum overall health. Of course, that's an average regular ass dude. Now, some of the guys will say they want it high because it's anabolic and sides can controlled in other ways, ie prostate and other organ health with supplements and want to keep from drying out their joints or whatever else the reason. Maybe the ideal estrogen number is personal preference?

I remember my first pump, ahhh it was glorious lol. JK

I've done tren an am currently running deca. An I always run 1mg of adex an never have prolactin or proestrogen issues. Seems to keep everything pretty normal.

Better safe then sorry is always the best practice! It's would you should learn first, then adjust. But with that said I haven't always went by best practice.

I'm a firm believer of using the least amount of drugs ais included. Why take something you don't need . It just adds more stresse to the body. If you're feeling good then don't change a thing. But getting bloods at week. 5 is crutial. If your e2 is really really high then add and ai , but if it's ojly a littl out of range don't change a thing. Estrogen is anabolic, but high e2 will raisjec shbg whixh will Lowe free test which is the opposite or what we want. So by adding proviron you can keep your estogen high for the anabolic effects and use the proviron to lower the shbg and have the best of both worlds , higher. E2 but low shbg from using pro or causing huge increaE in e2. That's what I plan on doing my up coming cycle given to me by one of the best consultants in the industry . No ai , proviron to offset the increased shbg caused by high e 2 and 10mg of nolva ed to prevent gyno. This is good for muscle gaining phases tho. When I'm cutting I try to keep my e2 lower to stay drier and harder. So get bloods and see where you're atx

What's your cycle look like?
