Bloodwork came in for Test and Estrogen

[Trobchbb]

My blood work for test and estrogen came in need some advice on should I take an AI or let it run high?

 

[Bigmurph6]

What are you taking now and what wk of your cycle are you in?

 

[Bigmurph6]

That’s a high number.
You could very easily have a cardiac event with estrogen that high.

 

[Bigmurph6]

You still should go with aromasin but what wk are you in and what your running maters

 

[NeuroRN]

This is too high. If you’re not on an AI, you need one. If you’re using one, it needs to be increased.

Cardiac event…you’ve got my attention. Please explain when you have time. @Bigmurph

 

[Trobchbb]

Ok I’m in week 8 and I have an AI how much should I start taking

 

[Trobchbb]

Also @Bigmurph I believe I have anastrozol not Adex is that ok to take as well

 

[TBU]

I would start with .5mg on day after injection. So if you are pinning Monday/Thursday I would start with .5mg Tuesday/Friday. Do me I would start .25mg for 2 weeks. Test and see where I am. But this number is WAAAAY high like insane high.

 

[TBU]

Anastrozol is Adex which =Arimidex

 

[Trobchbb]

Sorry aromasin is what I have

 

[John]

Same thing

 

[Trobchbb]

So what exactly should I be doing taking an AI every other day or only the day after I do a shot need to make sure I don’t have a heart attack that wouldn’t be good the wife would kill me

 

[NeuroRN]

I would take 12.5 twice a week. The day after pinning. And then get labs checked again after a few weeks.

 

[TBU]

For me. I take it day after shot. ADEX will crush it pretty quickly. Then going too low is just as bad. I can take .25mg after shot and drop it pretty quickly.

 

[Bigmurph6]

High estrogen or low estrogen has a very bad effect on the cardiovascular system.

So that’s why we try to control our estrogen is because we don’t want tits but also estrogen high or low can effect the cardiovascular system very negatively.

 

[Trobchbb]

@NeuroRN thank you bro will start it tomorrow as I pinned this morning

 

[Bigmurph6]

There the same thing its just adex is the nick name for arimidex which is the brand name of anastrozole.

You should have already begun to take an AI but now I believe that .5mg 2x a week tben you can do just a estradiol or e2 test which is cheap to find out and make sure that its working you dont want to crash your estrogen either. Im amazed that you don’t have gyno symptoms but you will once your testosterone drops after the cycle so you definitely want to get it under control. Which is around 50 shoot for that and then remember adex has a rebound effect after you discontinue its use you definitely need to check your estrogen and testosterone after pct because you will get gyno after pct if your testosterone isn’t back and your estrogen is high.
Right now the balance between testosterone and estrogen is keeping it from happening but if test goes down and estrogen stays the same it can be an issue this is why some people use low dose aromasin during pct because they let there estrogen sky rocket during cycle for the gains estrogen is very Anabolic and then they bring it back down with aromasin to in range and allow there system to start producing naturally again.

 

[Bigmurph6]

You do have aromasin or anastrozole?

This is very important because the information is completely different depending on which you have

High levels of E2 have been directly correlated with increased risk of myocardial infarction (i.e., heart attack), but NOT, curiously, with coronary artery disease. It is unclear from the literature and the studies whether high E2 has a causal relationship with MI, results from MI, or is triggered by other factors that cause MI. There is quite a debate about all of this.
