To control estrogen on cycle an individual needs to take an aromatase inhibitor (AI) like Arimidex or Aromasin. These are the very most poplar but there are others that people use with success. I have used both Arimidex and Aromasin. Arimidex is my personal choice.
I have precycle blood work. Once I am on cycle I know how my body responds to specific compounds at specific doses. I am not estrogen sensitive so I know Arimidex, my AI of choice, will control estrogen elevation at a dose of .5mg every 3.5 days. I take moderate and responsible amounts of any steroid combination that is part of the cycle plan. Typically at 6-8 weeks I will have mid-cycle blood work to ensure all of my hormone values are in the range I would expect.
Anytime between the start of the cycle and mid-cycle blood works that I experience unexpected physical signs of elevated estrogen I moderately increase my Arimidex to .5mg 3x per week. I have never had to go above that dose and I will never have to… Knock on wood. I never panic and increase it immediately because slightly elevated estrogen is not an emergency but needs to be watched. Gyno is not to be messed around with. If after 4-5 days I am still experiencing issues I can assume based on my experience that it is most likely an unexpected jump in estrogen. There are several reasons that this can happen but I won’t go into all the possibilities now.
I do not have post cycle blood work because I am TRT and do not need to perform PCT. Many individuals will have blood work a few weeks post PCT to see their hormone recovery levels. It may be their new normal off cycle levels moving forward.
Each cycle and each new steroid brings a new experience but if you know which derivative it is and how your body will potentially respond to that derivative you can mitigate negative side effects before they become an issue.
Every person responds differently so never assume my experience will be your experience.
NOTE- I only source pharma Arimidex or a UGL that I have a long standing relationship with.
