Estrogen too high, now what???
First, thanks to all of the contributors that have made this site an excellent resource for newbies like myself. After reading a ton of threads and doing research, I was planning on doing my first cycle at the end of the month. After listening to the vets on this forum, I put three months of hard work in the gym, got all my gear in hand and just got my baseline lab work done. All results came in line except total estrogen at 239.4 (normal 60-190) and FSH at 10.7 (normal 1.6-8.0). What to do now? Am I okay to start off a cycle like this? Do I increase Arimidex from the.5mg EOD I was planning on? Was originally planning on 500mg test and 35mg dbol but have decided to drop the dbol after advice gotten here. Fyi-first ever cycle, 53 yo.

Go to an Endo and straighten out your issues before cycling.
You're at that age where you're starting to become a hairy grandmother yourself (reverse puberty).
Go to your doctor and get referred to an endo doc. What's your Testosterone levels?
Yeah, I've been wondering why my pasties weren't fitting anymore, lol. Test came back at 640.
AnonHmm. Definitely get that sorted first..like you said, no dbol, bad idea. .5eod adex is a lot. I wouldn't run that from day 1..after you figure out why your fsh/e2 is high you'll know more..I would plan on getting blood work 4 weeks in, you may aromatize quickly.
Personally, I dont start an AI until I get bloods done.
What was your E2 number..you've posted your total estrogen. E2 is what need..
Rustyhooker^^^^^boom!!! Total vs separated is key. Endo can check deeper.
He didn't do E1/E2, he just ran total estrogen. Thanks for the tip on getting more done at 4wks. I was planning on 6 but that's a good idea.
Gotta figure out why estro and fsh are out of range before touching anything. What did your doctor say? You on meds? This is exactly why we say bloodwork first so good on you for doing that. Could have been a bad experience if you started with estro already high. Def no dbol. Test only when ready. Lots of smart guys here hopefully some with more experience then myself stops in to help you. Diet bodyfat meds find out why that test is out of range. Good luck.
Yeah, think it's time for a new doc. I went to the idiot 4mos ago complaining of lack of libido, tired, gaining weight, etc. He ran tests (but no estrogen) and said everything was fine. Explained I was just getting old. Went to the gym and hit it hard but results were far less than what I've gotten in the past. When I decided to explore AAS as a possible solution, it was this forum that pointed me in the right direction, which is why I got the full bloods and found out yesterday. Seriously, this board has tremendous info. Really appreciate the help. Gonna be researching new docs this weekend and get a referral for an endo before moving forward with a cycle. Really appreciate everyone's advice! Forgot to mention, not on any meds except lisinoprin for high blood pressure.
AnonDon't fuck with high BP, make sure you check it at home and don't forget your meds. AAS will elevate your BP, so get a monitor for home use, and make sure the cuff is the correct size...
Good call. Will do. Thanks for the tip!
