+ 1 New labs 5 wks in 400mg test/wk
Hey fellas,
Posted a few weeks ago about elevated e2 starting during my third week in on test cyp 400mgs/wk. These were my results at week 5 on 18mgs aromasin 3X/wk and 20mg nolva daily. Think I Got it under control now so thanks for the help.
After these bloods i switched to test E and for the past few weeks the sensitive nips & lumps receded substantially and iv'e backed off the aromasin to 12mg 2xwk on injection days. Going to cut the nolva to 10mgs/day for a couple weeks and hopefully wont need it anymore. So far so good dont have elevated e2 symptoms anymore. Iv'e always heard test is test but honestly I think my body didnt agree with the cypionate and aromatized like crazy.
Anyways I started on the citrus bergomot as recommended here and lowered my ldl from 101 pre cycle, seems it did its job. How are my numbers looking? Seems 2000 total test is on the low end for 400mgs wk but I remember my first cycle years ago I was at 2400 total test on 500mgs/wk so seems to be on point with how I respond. Also ran the blood work 48hrs after last injection.
Up 12lbs in 6 weeks so far, strength is increasing but also was sick last week. The start of my cycle has been a little rough but looking forward to the next few months! Any input appreciated. Thanks

Alll your bio markers look solid. Slighty low HDL is about as good as it gets on gear for many people. Much better than really low HDL that some get. But your total and ratio are great. 2000 is a bit low for 400mg a week, but if on another source on 500mg you were 2500 then that probably makes sense.
What do you consider a concerning HDL? On all my blast of 500mgs of test only, my HDL hangs at 39. Now I'm on my first cruise ever at 175mgs, HDL dropped down to 33 after 8 weeks, LDL 83. Can't figure out wtf is going on other than possibly lacking on my healthy fat intake, (stupid healthly diet as always still) and slacking a bit in the cardio department since cruising. HDL is 53 off all gear.
The data shows being below 40 puts you at risk for various cardiovascular issues, so that’s the bare minimum of where you want to be. Especially “off cycle” on a cruise. You have to be able to maintain normal levels when cruising. It’s most likely the test you’re on. Even low TRT doses of test tend to decrease HDL and increase LDL. And your dose is a bit beyond the normal TRT dose. So you need to figure out how to get that back up to normal range, or stop cruising. Lowering your do dose could help. Definitely need to make sure you do your cardio. I try my best to do it daily, first thing in the morning and get it out of the way.
But even on cycle you really need to be able to keep all cardiovascular bio markers in range. If you’re running 2 cycles a year you could be spending 6-8 months out of every year with bio markers at risky levels which is not healthy at all. It doesn’t recover the second you get off, it can take a couple months. You can get away with more when you’re younger but not when you’re older.
Yeah I'm pretty sure this new src I'm using is overdosed. Just got my test levels back and they're 2005 on 200mgs. I'm going back to my go to source and trying 150mgs for 6 weeks and will recheck bloods.

Good to hear, funny my blood work came out better on cycle than pre cycle. In regards to the test, seems I just respond a bit low. Im going to get bloods in another month, ive switched brands so it'll be interesting to see.
Wow, that’s unusual. Typically supraphysiological levels of test will lower your HDL and increase your LDL.
It’s really good if you can maintain all normal levels of your bio markers while on gear. That’s as healthy as you can do it.
What test is it? Brand
Beligas test cyp 200
Belly gas Lol
itszoot89Interesting, I know people absorb test at different rates - that said my levels at 250mg puts me 1600 ng/dl. Nonetheless great numbers , thanks for sharing
Nice, thats a high level for 250mg!
