+ 3 Estro Levels - AI Advice Needed
ad
Hi All,
Currently on TestE 250mg E3.5D and Adex 0.25mg E3.5D.
Had blood work done last week, week 6 of cycle.
Estradiol came back as 178.8pmol/L (advisable ranges being 44 - 156 pmol/L)
I have had no negative side effects at all really. Started Adex in week 4 when nips started to become a bit itchy.
Just wanted your opinions, thoughts and advice on next step to take with AI? Of course don't want estro to be getting too high, would it be best to increase this dose to ED or 0.5mg E3.5D?
Thanks.

Hey,
Not sure if the issue has been sorted yet.
Good to know that you take a professional aproach to BB and not just worrying about your AAS stack but also looking after your health. As you probably already know blood work is mandatory for any human being to monitor health and especially for us who change our hormone profile regularly by adding synthetic hormones.
From my experience:
I personally prefer to use letrozole as aromatase inhibitor, normally use 1.25mg twice a week which is a maintenance dose for me, would have to take higher higher if side effects were already showing. I would be taking 2,5mg twice a week or even every other day.
Don't forget that if you get your estrogens lower than body requires that will have a direct effect on your testosterone levels which will affect your gains.
As your estrogen levels are high there is good chance that your prolactin level is also too high which would give you that itchy feeling on you nipples.
Only if AFTER blood works it's confirmed, you would need Cabergoline (dostinex) 1mg twice a week for about 2-3 weeks.
Make sure you do your blood work regularly and only after analysing your results make an adjustments
Hope this helps
unreal89Must be nice i take .5mg a day or 12.5 aromasin i guess i aromatize easy
are you using pharma grade?

unreal89Kalpa and balkan its dosed correctly just on 650mg test but i have pre gyno
+1 for being responsible with your health
Have your itchy nips gone away? Are you bulking or cutting?
As miagi said, try eod but get bloods pulled in another 2 or 3 weeks to see how it changes. My guess is you aromatize a little heavy. You don't want to over do it for too long because you can bring your estro down too low and that's not good either. If it gets too low it will impact your gain and cause other issues.
Again, my guess is running it at .25 eod for a few weeks will remove some of the excess estro that built up before you started taking it. At that point you may be able to lower back down to e3d. Only blood work will show though so don't implement my suggestion without it.
+1 for pulling blood in the middle of cycle and asking for advice on how to adjust accordingly
Id bump to .25 eod. Small increments, then recheck in few weeks.
Yep. Good way to dial in off bw... I like that dose and frequency..good call...Depending on OP experience with AI's...he could try low dose exemestane, imo...then again everyone's different and OP may tolerate adex better...
