@herrubermensch@Bigmurph im looking into it now. I’ve been stabbed shot hell beat out of me BUT a heart attack has always scared me the worst. You definitely got MY attention!
I didn’t mean to freak out were just giving you information on just a estrogen test.
All your taking is testosterone?
Which you can still take at 500mg but make sure to start the AI
Is it aromasin or anastrozole? This is extremely important also so that we can get you on a dosage that will help especially since you are dropping your testosterone down that lowers estrogen and drops the amount of testosterone.
Remember I said that your probably not having issues because of the ratio between testosterone and estrogen by lowering testosterone your changing that balance plus by adding an AI your also changing the balance.
The difference between the two different AI names you have given us is one is extremely strong and is a suicidal inhibitor that will remove the estrogen from your body while the other is an AI that controls estrogen it will lower the amount but it won’t destroy or remove the estrogen that’s were the rebound clmes from so once you have everything together please write out your cycle for me and which AI you actually have and what doses you’re taking of everything then we can figure out your best bet moving forward
It depends if you have exemestane from natco and you take 12.5mg 2x a week he will quickly lower his estrogen. This is where what he actually has plus what lab it is comes into consideration. Ugl labs 12.5mg 2x a week maybe the first week then 6.25mg 2x then 6.25mg and your estrogen will eventually crash.
That’s the thing with aromasin its strong and will crash estrogen if given the chance.
I would take 12.5mg a wk meaning 2x 6.25 first week after that only 6.25mg until your next blood work which he can just get an e2 test and its cheap. He wants to lower his estrogen by about half but doesn’t want to crash I would bring it down over the next couple of weeks with aromasin and test e2 again and hope for <60
Thanks for posting these. Think it’s important to distinguish between that top number (Total Estrogen) and bottom number which is E2. Still a bit of of range but is to be expected on cycle. Low dose AI should help. Do you feel any sides?
Over a gram of testosterone is what aromasin or exemestane is really made for taking every week doses but at 500mg give or take your estrogen can crash with one dose.
That’s why I don’t take it every week as you would other aromatase inhibitors.
I get blood work and if my estrogen is too high I start 6.25 each week I run an e2 test and check it 4wks later you don’t want to have estrogen in range on cycle it helps build muscle so you want it to be higher than range just like your testosterone levels but just like the testosterone level getting higher makes it more dangerous so does the estrogen level running it higher is more dangerous but its a double edge sword because if you crash your estrogen you have just put yourself back into the danger zone and getting it back takes awhile unless you actually take estradiol
Ok @Bigmurph I have, nolva 20, clomid 50mg, and aromasin 12.5mg. I was on 500 mg a week but lowered my dose to 300mg cause I felt like shit which was probably due to the high estrogen. I may just up the dose to 500mg again and start what ever dose you guys think is best for the amount of time needed I will get my estrogen retested in a couple of weeks. TIA for the insight this is why I love this forum.
Start aromasin
first week 12.5mg 2x
Second week 12.5mg 1x and so on until you get the estrogen down this is what I would do and if you’re going to lower testosterone to 300mg you might want to use 6.25wk if you have tabs if capsules stick with 12.5mg and skip a week.
This is what I would do but get blood work in 4wks maybe 5wks to see that your atleast in range and haven’t crashed your estrogen.
So with this being my last week of my 10 wk cycle, should I continue to take the aromasin during the 2 wk break and start a clomid and nolvadex pct? @Bigmurph if so will I taper down in dosage? And how long will I run the pct 4wks
