E2 assistance and suggestions

Do you feel any physical or mental effects from high E2? How much AI are you taking and how frequently? Do you have a high body fat percentage?

An E2 level of 146 is terrible. Your apex is either fake or you're not dosing correctly. Fix this immediately. An 8-week cruise at 200mg is essentially a cycle. You're making a significant mistake.

I was at 160… what do you recommend? Should I go for 150mg per week for 8 weeks? I was taking 0.50mg of Adex EOD. I thought this might be an issue with the Adex since I didn't see much of a drop in my score. I assumed 0.50mg EOD would be sufficient based on others' experiences here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

A bit of both. I've had moments of crying while on TikTok, lol. Physically, I've felt less driven and motivated than usual. I take Adex at 0.50mg EOD and I'm under 12% body fat. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

That's a really high number. How have you been feeling during this?

That’s a lot of AI. With your dosage and frequency, you shouldn't have that much estrogen. Buy Anastrozole and Exemestane from a different source as soon as possible. Your current Anastrozole is likely bunk or significantly underdosed. I only take Anastrozole 0.5mg twice a week while on 500mg of Test and 200mg of Deca.

Thanks for the advice! Do you have any suggestions on sources and brands?

Honestly, not too wild. I've noticed I'm holding a bit more water and have had some emotional moments scrolling through social media. My motivation has dipped too, lol. Training days have been tough, to say the least.

Wow, man, on 400mg of test. No offense, but are you carrying extra body fat? Dropping the body fat will help lower your E2. 200mg of EQ a week would help manage that E2.

I'm 5'10" and weigh 184 lbs, currently under 12% body fat. Just trying to get perspectives before ordering from a different source, lol. I have some EQ I considered adding, but I still want to keep an AI on hand. You know how it goes. Thanks for your input!

Always opt for pharmaceutical-grade products for ancillaries like AIs. Your E2 is way too high given your dosage. How are your other blood test results?

Testosterone levels are at 2201 ng/dl. HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol are off as expected. This is a big reason why I'm planning to reduce my dosage. I know I could look a lot better physically if I could manage my E2 better.

Consider blasting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Adding EQ at half the test dose should drop your E2 to around 30 or 40, I bet.

I can imagine! Good thing you caught it though. You'll now have a better understanding of how the sides feel as estrogen levels rise, which will help you in the future. Personally, I really like PA as a domestic source. When I say he's quick, I mean it. You need a good AI fast.

Some people do aromatize heavily. I need to use an AI even on 200mg of test, and I'm below 15% body fat.

You might need to lower your dose to around 100mg to help with your cholesterol levels. At 185 pounds, that should be enough to maintain your gains and prepare for your next cycle. Sticking to 200mg will likely keep your bloodwork poor without offering substantial additional gains. Plus, your AI may not be of good quality. If you're on TRT, ask your doctor for a prescription. If not, there are sources selling pharmaceutical-grade options. Don't gamble with underground labs for AIs and PCT.

Thanks for the info! I'm trying to tackle this issue as quickly as possible!

Got it, that makes a lot of sense. I'll probably try this and check my bloodwork again in 6 weeks. Appreciate the info and insights!

Get some Anastrozole and take 12.5mg twice weekly.
