Cruise>Blast--need to cruise

[desertgringo]

Greetings

-need some advice on HRT/PCT/Bloodwork

I am 52 years old H-6 foot 1 ,
April 2013 W=205, current =220

Timeline

Oct 2010;started HRT cyp/200 weekly-increased Test levels to~ 350-450.

May 2013 started using Sustanon 250 ranging from 1mil 7-10 days. Never tested

(May-Sept 2014) added Deca Durabolin with the SUS every 5 days- 1mil each. (and Adex)

After 16 week blast went back to SUS once a week.

October 10th, 2014; Blood test; (7 days from previous injection and 5 weeks from end of blast)

Notable differences:

Testosterone Serum; 1232 (range 348-1197); up from 450
Testosterone Free %;4.46 (range 1.5-4.2) with no baseline number

Estardiol test; looks like there are 2 different methods used.
4/25/13; 26.9 pg/ml (range 7.6-42.6) ; Roche ECLIA method
10/10/14- Estradiol Sensitive; 69 (range 3-70 pg/ml)

PSA; up a point from 2.6 to 3.6. ( top of the range is 4.0)

Also my blood pressure is up. Not sure exactly how much, and not over the range.

-I read a lot about PCT and not sure how I fit in because I am/was using testosterone for LowT for 2 years prior to the increase. During the first 2 years of Testosterone, my blood/PSA/blood pressure levels were pretty normal.
-I have not injected SUS in 16 days.

Should I go back on test? and what dose.
Do I keep using Adex or something else or nothing.
When should I test my blood again
When do levels drop - test, estrogen, psa

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I would go back to cyp on your cruise dose. Pct doesn't apply on trt.

thanks tbonexl
-I have read a lot of your posts and they are great!
- regarding pct -what about my current estrogen levels being high on the range
-Should I test my blood again before going back on the cyp.

You weren't using enough AI for your blast either. PSA is a strong indicator of this, and I would be sure to test more frequently to ensure you're hitting those optimal E2 numbers while on your next blast.

TBone hit it on the head, you just come back down to TRT doses. Be safe.

Thanks halfwit,
-should I go back on the Adex for a few weeks and start 1/2 ml of cyp/week
-It looks like not many guys use the SUS. I got into it because I got Latin America quite a bit at it is accessible.
-Next time I am going to do this correctly. I just need to get to next time.

I would drop back down to what you use while on cruise.

For example:

I blasted recently for 20 weeks on tren/deca/test on a higher level of AI as my test is much higher on blast, and I aromatize far greater as a consequence.

As I had a TRT blood panel (I do them every 6 months) to do, I dropped back down to 250mg about 5 weeks prior with my usual AI dose. Numbers came back in range, and doc is none the wiser.

I do run blood tests before I hop on a blast, 5 weeks into a blast, and a couple days before I'm scheduled to see the doctor. This has allowed me to stay healthy and have a good feel for what doses of drugs I best respond to.

So you use AI all year around or just on a blast and the 5 weeks before the doctor visit?
what AI do you use?

I'm ALWAYS on an AI. I go out of range on TRT, so I have to take one. I personally prefer letrozole, but recommend adex as it's easier to dial in. Letro took me quite awhile to figure out, and did crush my estradiol in the process once.

I do not recommend crushing E2; it's almost as bad as having low T.

Nothing to add here OP..

You've had some great advice already

Gotta love this forum!

-chiming in - Still managing my BP and probably over did it with the Adex Sat-Tues. at .2mls per day and later found out I should have been doing .25 mls every 4 day days which I am pretty sure made my BP worse.
-Anyway - Hawthorne extract is amazing at lowering BP quickly for those that need to know.
Lots to learn for me going forward. For other new guys over 50, Manage your intakes and check your blood. Do not wing it.
I am just trying to get back to Medellin for January.

U should be taking your ai dosage by weight, not volume.
