Low e2 how long to wait untill blood test

ad

I'm on my 4th week of test e 500 mgs a week. I've been taking adex at .25 mg every day and my e2 is low, my skin is dry, scalp is super itchy, no libido, hesitation before I urinate, lack of pumps, super tires all day, and my nipples aren't sore and I'm not. Holding water. I stopped the adex for the past two days, I'm gonna pick up tomorrow at .25 eod. How long should I wait untill I test e2? I can't test too soon because it will show low, anybody can give me an intelligent answer on how long to wait?

Id wait 2 to 3 weeks after adjusting dose before redrawing blood.

I think half life of adex is about a week iirc. So it will take potentially 5 weeks to rid your system of adex. so, potentially it could take that long for estro to even start rebounding, and potentially further to bounce up. Adding extra test can help (more test = more estro) but you're into messing around at that stage, better to take you licks and let it even out itself.

caveat: everyone is different with regard to tolerance, response metabolism etc etc.
Took me the guts of a month with aro/nolv combo recently, to rebound up to very low levels of estro, from zero (pretty much)
You should see the difference in 3-6 weeks, Id say but sure that's a total guesstimate

I will never understand why people accidentally crash their estro.

My estrogen will rebound within a couple days, it always does I'm switching from .25 ed to .25 eod so I wanted to see how long before the .25ed dose meshed into the .25 eod dose of that makes sense

Your lucky it rebounds in a couple days then. When crash estro it takes me 4-6 weeks running 100mg prop eod with no ai until I am back to somewhat normal. I guess if you rebound that quick I would test a couple weeks after your new dose.

Well lucky I guess is relative because the fact that it does that is because I aromatize so much, which led to gyno in the first place lol. But yes I've been off my arimidex for two days now and already am experiencing my skin start to not be so soft and around my nose I'm starting to get some oils, also not as tired as I have been today, so it's coming back. Don't think I completely crashed it but it was low as shit, what's a normal dose people take adex with on say a mild cycle like mine at 500 mgs a week of test?

I may have misunderstood you but it sounded like you have crashed your estro (no libido etc, cant hold water and so on).... In which case it will take much more than a couple of days to rebound and certainly longer than an ai-free rebound if you keep dosing with an ai!

Why do you say your estro will rebound in a couple of days? Some sort of hyper responder???

Mr.Feathers's picture

My body just aromatizes a lot, so if I hop of the ai for a couple days it will raise my e2 fast

Gotchya.
Well, then you have answered your own question really; After it has rebounded
You wont be able to get a specific answer, but once you're rebounded, if you aromatise that fast, you will know when its too high by water retention etc. (dont judge by libido) - so somewhere in between that

Mr.Feathers's picture

Why no time judge by libido? That's suppose to be a really good indicator that something is off

Good question.

I only have an anecdotal answer for now - when you crash estro and experience erectile dysfunction, sometimes, despite raising estro, the ED can remain for a significant amount of time
I think its to do with the sex hormones, like SHBG or DHT, either binding or conversions, but I will have to research to give a definite answer
