Low estrogen I think

[Sig516]

I’m wondering how long it takes to get estrogen back up. And how to hurry it up. No appetite, low sex drive thirsty af. Night sweats

 

[TG1]

Depends on what you took and time. Did you get any bloodwork?

 

[Sig516]

Arimidex .5 2x wk. This morning last 1.

Got to do blood work. The bro science and guessing isn’t going to make it. So many of the different symptoms kinda mirror each other for low or high. Plus some people have no real estrogen issues. Or it can be taken care of with .25mg once a week. Crashed estrogen sucks and takes time to correct. Trust me. Go to a doc. Get a blood panel and estrogen reading. You will have to ask for it. Until you see what’s going on, you’re going to get a guess And what works for me won’t work for you. You could need little or no Adex. Every motherfucker is different. Trust me…

 

[Bigmurph6]

Yeah but you need an e2 test

 

[Sig516]

I will get it tomorrow

 

[Bigmurph6]

Best idea in this situation good choice brother

 

[Sig516]

Upside is I now have a beautiful set of nipples

Arimidex isn’t a suicide inhibitor, it will unbind in 1-2 days and e2 should rebound, what was your cycle again?

 

[Sig516]

I got 1 week into it the cought that bacterial infection. But anyway I stepped down from 500 test to 200, which is my standard script

 

[McSwickles]

That’s alot of adex for that cycle, you should definitely get bloodwork, that’s the only reliable gauge for hormone levels, but just for peace of mind you probably did crash e2, it should rebound in the couple days. I hate crashed e2 lol, I use aromasin, which is a suicide inhibitor, meaning the reduction in estrogen doesn’t rebound and it can take a week or more to return to normal. You only crash your e2 with aromasin once or twice if your smart. The best way to figure out your e2 levels in the future is to run blood before, during and after a cycle.

 

[Sig516]

What arimidex and anastrozole aren’t the same?!

 

[Sig516]

Oh you said aromisin 10 4. I did get bloodwork. And to start out I figured I’d double it and see… but then I kinda almost died lol

 

[Sig516]

@TBU @McSwickles well fellas now I’m real confused. Finally got labs back, feeling great on 500mg test e, making gains big and ugly, but I dont care lol, drum roll…75 estrogen! Wth how is that even possible? I know what high estro feels like to me and I’ve yet to be here shed some light pls

 

[BrandonIron]

.5 mg anastrozole twice weekly is what I take on trt dosing, and it keeps me right where I need to be. At 500 test I need to double it.

 

[Sig516]

.5 per wk on trt for me

 

[TBU]

I take even less on 500mg. As needed. I mean I know when my nipples start hurting and itch it’s time for a dose. Usually .25mg every 4 days cures my estrogen. But. As you can see here. Everyone is different.

 

[Sig516]

Oh yeah man hell I just figured it roughly. 200mg trt take .5 per wk and be fine. Soooooo at 500mg per wk try 1mg, got LOW estro sides, well I thought anyway. Then results came back. Confused as hell

 

[TBU]

Low and high have some very similar sides. My indicator for low is my dick doesn’t work. At all. I can take Viagra and nada. High I can get a hard on. But struggle to keep it. Viagra helps me. Plus the whole itchy/sore nipple thing for high. When it’s in the sweet spot I am good to go. Hell on cycle I get random wood when everything is running normal. And no need for Viagra. Why I always say. You can read the symptoms of high E and Low E and go what the fuck? Just get blood work. Take the guess out of it. And you will learn your body over time. Also I feel as I’ve gotten older, I am more sensitive to estrogen too. Before. I didn’t have any AI. Now I use it and walk up to the dose. People say if you crash your estrogen, it’s no big deal and you can recover quickly from it. From me? Took a good 6 months to get my shit right again. But that’s my story. Everyone reacts differently.

Thanks bud low or high ain’t no joke imo
