Blood test after 6 weeks of my first cycle Test En 500mg
Hello everyone and thanks for anyone who can give me some suggestions and advice.
After asking for advice on how to perfect my first cycle here on the forum (Thanks Makwa first of all) I carried out the blood tests as usual before starting the cycle thus composed.
Week 1-12: 250 mg Testosterone Enanthate E3.5D (500mg total)
Week 4-12: 0.25mg Arimidex EOD, 250 IU HCG EOD
4 WEEKS OFF
Week 1-2: 20 mg Tamoxifen(Nolva) ED
Week 3-4: 20 mg Tamoxifen(Nolva) ED
Week 5-6: 20 mg Tamoxifen(Nolva) ED
I would like to point out that I used Adex E3.5D when I used the test on the advice of Makwa and his post, in fact things were going well, but I noticed that the dose was too low and the symptoms of high E2 were very evident as the days went by , so I had found the right EOD dose (practically 1.25mg per week) which made me feel quite good, even if I was noticing in this last week that this quantity was a bit low because of the symptoms, especially when on the same day I had Test and HGC, were very pronounced (burning nipples, lethargy, feverish symptoms and headache)
At week 6 I took blood tests as usual to see how the situation was.
Let's start with the PRE CYCLE exams

In light of these tests, instead of using 0.25mg EOD I thought of 0.50mg (1 caps) E2D, so as to have 1.50mg per week instead of 1.25mg. I know that perhaps it is still low in dosage and for this reason I ask you for help, but knowing that with adex or in any case with an AI you shouldn't mess around too much, I wouldn't want to go too far.
I accept suggestions and advice.
Thanks for your help!

How much hcg are you taking now. That might be throwing you over the top
Hi Makwa, I'm taking 250UI EOD, so in total 1000UI per week o 750UI per week, depending on how alternating days happen
That is double what you should be using on cycle. Real possibility of desensitization running it that high for entire cycle. If that occurs you will be fighting an uphill battle for recovery after cycle. 250 iu2x/wk would be tops if running during cycle. Drop that dose of hcg and your estro may likely follow
Ok, let's stick to being proactive in this case too with HCG to avoid waiting a long time for such a high e2 caused by HCG to return to normal levels after the cycle.
500UI/week of HCG and keep the adex dose at 0.25mg EOD.
Having started using HCG for testicular discomfort due to the interruption of endogenous testosterone, this should no longer happen given the use of HCG, did I think correctly?
I have never had any discomfort on cycle. Smaller yes but no discomfort. The whole point with HCG is to keep the boys awake or wake them up when needed to help ensure a quick recovery but overstimulate them for too long and it will backfire on you. There is so called too much of a good thing when it comes to HCG. I would assume it would help any discomfort, but I haven't really heard of that too much. I feel like I was kicked in the nuts by a mule when I use HCG but I only use it in short blasts to fire things up every once in a while and don't run it for months at a time. You definitely feel it working then.
