Stressed! First cycle advise please!
First time posting, need advise!
Im 43, been on TRT for about a year and a half, saw great results, decided to try a blast and cruise. After finding this site and doing a ton of research, I decided on a Test C only run, 500mg/wk. Started right after my last blood work done from TRT doc, everything looked normal outside of red blood a little high.
Week 4 got blood work, e2 was high at 83. I was hesitant to start taking adex since when I first started trt I took it and crashed my estrogen, didn’t want to go through that again. So I started small with .5mg every pinning day(twice a week).
Currently it’s week 10 and I just got labs back and my estridol was at 90, total estrogen serum at 332! Wtf?! I honestly don’t really feel the effects of high estrogen, overall the cycle is going well, I’ve gotten compliments on my looks, strength has improved, but I definitely want to avoid gyno especially since I’m already gifted with big nipples in the first place!!
So asking advise, what do I do now? My cycle ends in 2 weeks, when I drop that test back down to 170/wk will my estrogen skyrocket? Should I up my adex dose for 2-3 weeks, but then doesn’t it rebound? I also have aromasin on hand and I’ve read that doesn’t rebound at all, haven’t used it yet, and I can get nolva within a week or so I think. But I’m stressing now, even tho I’ve read that higher estrogen isn’t all that bad on a couple posts as well.
Thoughts?

switch to exemestane so you wont rebound.
It seems late in the cycle for you to not know how to control your e2. I would assume the adex is fake or you aromatize easily. I suggest you watch the adex rebound when coming off then try aromasin next time.
It’s my first cycle and everyone is different, how would I just automatically know how to control my e2? The adex is pharma from TRT doc, the aromasin I got from one of the top sources here. I actually dropped the adex for a week, and started 12.5mg aromasin ED this last week, feel better. Maybe adex just doesn’t work with my body. Cycle ends next week so I’ll taper off aromasin and go back to my TRT dose. Never needed an ai with that.
First cycle use Test only and learn to control e2. You should know signs of high and low e2 as well as get bloodwork to confirm.
I also found that Aromasin ED works best for me
Bro what are you talking about, do you come on here to talk down to people and sound smarter than rookies? Did you read my post? That is literally what I did lol. Test only, 12 week 500mg, got blood work twice on cycle and once before I started. I’m learning how to control my e2, that is why I asked advise which is what I thought this site was for. I didn’t expect it to be that high based on how I felt and got a little worried. Probably overreacted. First fucking time.
I would just be prepared to battle a spike with AE. Let your body tell you, not just paperwork.
RustyhookerWrong test possibly? Tren skews estrogen to massive numbers. Fake adex?
Shouldn’t be. Private medlabs did the female hormone test as I’ve read on here. No Tren, only Test C since it’s my first run. Next run if this goes well I’ll add deca.
Total test came back at about 2200, free at 880, estrone 93, estridol 90, and total estrogen 332. Is that a good balance? Like I said I’m not feeling symptoms, but those numbers definitely sound like they’re on the high end. Just want to make sure and get a little feedback from some more experienced fellas that I’m Not fucking things up..
RustyhookerE2...estradiol is our main target. 20-52 is normal range off top of head. 90 is high but if your bp, water retention and emotions are normal....youre probably ok. If that damn spca commercial makes ya cry.....too high. Oilly and horney. Soon as i get greasy forehead its the same time spca tears late night....not cool. Lol!
E2 too high gives sides we watch for like bp...hypertension because thats one that can change your life. Few zits or lil emo...run your adex and bring it down. E2 can add fat as well if outta control. And higher bf makes e2 raise as well
0.5e3d of adex on 500mg is a bigger dose but not fully crazy. Your body converts at a higher range and possibly aromasin might keep you closer to the 50-60.
I would not run a nor til you know your e2 and vontrol better. Nor brings on prolactin concerns as added bonus if e2 gets boosted.
Get lean...test only imo. Tske proper time off to clear up blood issues like cholesterol outta balance, kidneys, liver, ed tc etc

TricepatopsUse Aromasin adex sucks IMO and yes it rebounds. Aromasin doesn't. Also when you lower your test you estro will lower. Also estro being high while on test is normal your body likes a certain ratio and as long as your not having any estrogen sides no need for adex or Aromasin. To many people on here think you have to keep it low which isn't true you need estrogen to grow muscle. Now you don't want high estro and having sides, that is where you have to use adex or Aromasin.
I’ve also read through countless posts and haven’t come across what exactly is too high an estrogen level? I’ve read the sweet spot for most is around 25, but it varies for everyone obviously. But what is considered way too high? Is mine fine since I feel fine?
TricepatopsYou want your estro high in normal range while on test as long as no sides are happening. Estro is good for your cardio system and many other things. Go by how you feel. Super low estro is dangerous and super high can have problems also. Really we need a good thread on this subject. Also there are a couple tests and some are more accurate then others. If you can look it up because one will almost always give you a lot higher estrogen then you really are.
