Bloodwork... Should I up my Arimidex?

[copaseet]

Last time around I did 500mg Test E for 16 weeks and Arimidex 0.5mg EOD.

My labs were...

Test 4280 ng/dl
Est 112 pmol/


I was trying to do a cut... but i found it hard to drop weight... I know the test is a great reading... but is the E too high? should I up my AI?

What is the reference range for that test?

 

[Megatron28]

Or convert it to pg/ml for us. Most of us are more familiar with that.

 

[jozifp103]

is that estradiol or total estrogen? Estradiol is what we need to look at.

 

[copaseet]

33pg/ml

 

[Megatron28]

If it was using the sensitive assay, it is about perfect. If it was using the regular assay it may be too low or perfect. Regular assay is typically overstated 10-20 points in pg ml

This is assuming it is estraiol and not estrogen.

@Megatron.. thanks.


I found it really hard to drop weight on this cycle... I have a weight class i need to make... next time around... should i up the AI?

Can't really advise you without knowing the answers to post #6.

The test says Estradiol 112 pmol/L .... Reference Range <157 pmol/L

That is the equivalent of 30pg/ml. That is right around where most guys consider the sweet spot for estradiol. I wouldn't take more AI if I were you.
