+ 1 Just got bloodwork on 500mg test. E2 is at 123. Would you take an ai with no high e2 symptoms?
So for context I’m still new to all this.
I’ve done 200mg for ten weeks and my e2 then was 54 and my total t was 1333
Now I’ve been on 500mg a week for the past 6 weeks and my e2 just came back at 123.
The only side effects I’ve noticed are increased back acne compared to the 200mg. I’ve never taken an ai but I do have plenty of anastrozole on hand and nolvadex if needed if I develop gyno.
My question is I see so many different opinions on if I should take an ai because my bloodwork shows pretty high e2 or if I should just let it ride since I’m not really experiencing any high e2 symptoms. I feel pretty good for the most part. Even with the bloodwork showing high e2 I can’t say that I’m experiencing anything negative aside from the slight back acne. I’m definitely not emotional and my nipples don’t hurt.

Instead of running an AI consider using Primo to modulate your estrogen down to a more favorable level whilst keeping your anabolic load high. AIs are also detrimental to IGF-1 levels.
In 80s is my sweet spot. Just some nolva and im good for gyno. If it was me id take .25 of arimidex a week or .25 every 3 days(if you like it lower) and test again
anvilChase Irons was 130 and he had no sides effects he could tell, he's got it down way lower and his water retention has gone and he feels better and looks much leaner.
I think I’m going to experiment a little with my anastrozole since I KNOW what my e2 is now and see if it changes the way I look and feel. And maybe just learn how an ai works because I’m sure in the future I’ll be needing one
anvilI would get it down some and see how you feel. But I know others will say to leave it, I wouldn't.
Will do. Thank you
Yes. You should get it down. Added stress on your body. Anxiety, acne, bp, retention etc etc.
That’s what I’m thinking really. I know people say it’s fine if you feel fine but I agree with what you said
First great question and good layout for the post,
It’s nice to see you hit 1333ngdl on a cruise dose of 200mg, sounds like we a similar when it comes to estrogen conversion rate.
My mood really gets to me anything over 80, it’s like a static feeling inside of me and an anxiety that robs me of happiness, I suppose everyone is different but playing with the range of 25,40, and obviously 80 all the way up to like 140 has me acting and feeling much different markedly.
I feel very keen to my exact number and because of this I’ve never crashed my estrogen, even with the unlimited supply of pharma it’s always been spot on when I need it too, try lowering a bit by bit maybe you’ll notice the mood increase,
But steady does it
Yea I just took .25mg of anastrozole just to see if I feel any different. I guess I really won’t know if it’s better unless I try it lol.
I will say I always have kind of a blah mood but maybe that’s been even more blah since I started 500. I’ll just take .25 every 3.5 days for now and see what I think. Might go get my e2 checked again after a couple weeks.
You’re knowledgeable already and you’ll get it in no time,
The best way to tell isn’t really a blah mood, it’s kinda like you’re emotional but if you fight it you feel resistance lol hard to explain, like when I’m at work for instances all male environment , it’s hard to have high e2 around them so the tendency to hide emotions is stronger, where as when I’m comfortable, at home relaxing higher e2 isn’t so bad
Sometimes the heighten emotions allow us to look at something from a different perspective,
Tanking e2 (which I’ve never done) but got close too I basically had an itchy scalp constantly and just creaking ass knees bro like they were squeaking and my dick was off white, I had dianabol at the time and brought it up very quickly,
I’ll take the higher e2
Yea I’m never emotional. It’s hard for me to even feel
Sad about anything lol. I work with all men too. But either way I’ll just see how this .25mg makes me feel, if I even notice anything and then I’ll decide to keep taking it or just ride out the high e2. I was hoping other people who had 120+ e2 on bloodwork would chime in. I’m only blasting until Christmas this time so I’m just trying to learn everything I can by the actual experience instead of all the stuff I’ve absorbed over the months of research I’ve done.
All I do at work sometimes is research steroids and other people’s experiences with different compounds and how they actually work lol. Pretty interesting stuff.
Welcome to what I do with 100% of my free time..
It’s just the common thing to do when you’re passionate about this life, it’s all about priorities and if this takes precedent so be it..
I’m at work every morning addicted to research. Let’s put it to use !
Yea and I’d like to know as much as possible and equip myself with the tools to combat any problems that can arise. And be as safe as possible because so far I’m very impressed with how awesome testosterone is. In just a few months I’ve got people asking me what I’m on already lol. The last two days at work two different people said damn you’re getting bigger --
oh shit I am bannedIf you have no high e2 sides it’s best to not take an AI. I can take 750 test a week and not need an AI but some people need an AI on their TRT dose. AI’s aren’t good for you so I think best to stay away unless you absolutely need it
Also - treat the symptoms not the numbers. You feel good don’t change anything
What’s your e2 on your bloodwork?
oh shit I am banned~150
