160 E2.. should I be worried ?
So I was running Test Cyp 250 2ML per week.. so 500 test cyp and nothing else.. after 5 weeks I got my bloods and my testosterone was approaching 4800 and my estrogen 161.
Since then I have lowered to 375 per week and added 200 Masteron because I have heard it can help with E2 and I had it on hand. I’m a relative beginner I have only run test so I don’t know if there is a situation where this is not a problem
I will say I figured I was going to be prone to Gyno because I had it in puberty and just figured it would happen again but I haven’t been dealing with any nipple sensitivity like I did when I first started the test and really no other side effects I can think of.
I do have some water retention in my ankles if that’s an estrogen side effect.
Anyway, I’ll post my blood’s here and tell me what you guys think.
Should I be worried? Will the mast help?

Is this your first cycle? You said you've done test, but also said you started 6 months ago..
Just looking for clarity
It is .. I have gone from 250 to 500 and when I got these bloods I went down to 375 and added 200 mast ..
I had really low testosterone..150 before I started
But I didn’t mean to get to 4700 lol I didn’t realize 500 would put me there
Those are crazy test numbers for "only" 500 a week. You sure you are measuring correctly?
Should I not want my levels that high? I know that’s higher than I’ve seen.. and absolutely coach I’m not incorrectly measuring
I use a 3 ML syringe and draw up .7 so it’s technically 525 because it’s 2.1 ML A week
Just means you respond well to it.
How long have you been on this cycle, and how many weeks did you plan to run it?
Honestly like I said my test was under 200 so I jumped on about 6 months back at 250 and have gone up since then to where I landed at the 500 and got my bloods .. I plan on staying on test honestly probably for good .. but I may experiment with other compounds now and again but just to add in for short bursts.. it does seem apparent if I want to stay on this I need to lower the dose though which is what I began to do
Youve been on a cycle for 6 months. Time to back it down man. Either to a trt dose like 100mg a week, or do a proper pct. Since your test was low before you started, trt probably the right call.
You cant just run high doses indefinitely. No wonder your E2 is sky high
So the length of staying on it for as long as I have could be why the e2 is high then ? And if I come down between 100 and 200 might that solve it? Again all other blood markers looked great and no sides to speak of so I was unsure
Right I hear ya .. that’s the thing though .. I didn’t realize that was that high lol but that’s what I’ll do I’ll just back off .. I mean does 250 a week sound ok for trt or even trt “plus” as I often hear? But fair enough that makes sense I’ll back off I have had good results over the course of the last couple months .. took me a bit to get going
I have been lifting for 13 or so years and used to powerlift in my early 20 so about 12 years ago .. but this is the first time going with gear
Again for the last 2 weeks I have lowered it to .5 3 times a week and added the Mast
.7 ml 3 times a week .. it is crazy I know .. and my test was less than 200 when I began this whole thing 6 months or so ago.. it’s also interesting because I’m having no side effects whatsoever..
It’s a well known brand am I allowed to say or will that flag me? Starts with a b
