Do I use Adex or not and how much to start

[drop2_c]

Let me give you some new lab results and hopefully someone can give me advice whether to use adex or not. I had a total estrogen count of 393 which is up from 375 a month earlier. Megatron asked for e2 level and I had the doc add it to my recent lab. My estradiol 17-beta level was 29.2pg/ml which is in range. I need to lower my estrogen so will adex help or is adex e2 specific? My total test also took a 160 point dive this past month. I just got some adex and took 1mg but would love some input from mega or someone that has some experience.

By the way I went to the endo and she told me she cant help me! So thats why I have to rely on the people in the know around here. I just cant believe that a specialist cant help me. Truth be told dont ever tell them you did AAS. Bullshit.

At an E2 level of 29.2, you may not have to do anything. Do you have any symptoms of high estradiol? Acne? prostate issues? bloating? cramps?

It would help a little to know if the test you took is the regular or the sensitive assay.

1mg is quite a large dose of anastrozole, certainly too much for your levels. At E2 of 30 I would suggest not taking anything unless you have symptoms, then start with a small dose, no more than 0.25mg once a week the day after your shot.

BTW forget about testing total estrogen altogether: estradiol is all that really matters. I'm sure megatron told you that.

If you are going to be using an Ai more long term I would switch to aromasin. For now Adex .5mg should work fine for what you need it to do.

 

[Megatron28]

If you are at 29 for E2, you do not need to use an AI. Your E2 is perfect.

And to mprtz's question, how do you feel?

As to how I am feeling. Its hard to describe the mental aspect. The wife says I am too sensitive lately and I have to agree. Not used to that. Physical is bloating and very difficult to lose weight. I do have psuedo gyno. Just some fatty tits. I have no problem sexually.

So you guys think I should not worry about the high total estrogen? Are there any supplements I could be taking to help out? I will not take anymore adex. Perhaps more cardio. I thought my energy level would be a bit higher. This time of year I usually drop alot of weight because I work outside.

It would help if you knew what your baseline was before you had gone on cycle. To late now but more guys should do this so they know their base levels and starting points. Over the years I have learned there is the Normal, but then also everyone is different in how their body reacts to things. Have you been using steroids? If so what was your cycle and when? or are you still on? Would like to know more..Thank you.

This is the TRT Forum. The OP is on TRT for hypogonadism.

What did you go to the endo for?
I can imagine what was going through her head when you told her if the roids.
Truth is they want nothing to do with roid users.

What are you taking adex for?
Are you on TRT? What is your protocol, last T level?
You took 1 mg Adex with 29 pg/ml estradiol?
Estradiol is the one that matters for men.
Adex is powerful stuff. I would not be downing 1 mg doses with your estradiol level.

Ok here is a little back story. I messed up and took advice from a bodybuilder saying I could cut weight on tren/equipose cycle. I was overweight and desperate to get my body going in the right direction. Big mistake! As you guys know. Never ever cycle above 16% BF. I have been researching since I started and I finally quit 7 weeks into the cycle when I was getting psuedo gyno and I knew that I was making a mistake. Positive thing is I have been working out hard every week and eating right but the weight is just stuck. Everytime I eat something my stomach just blows up like a deer tick. I have been off the juice since the end of march.

Here are the labs and dates:
4/29 total test 666 the family doctor would not let me test for anything else til I got stern about it.
5/5 Prolactin 10, Total Estro 374, Free test 76.8, Progesterone .2
5/21 Tested for LH and FSH but I didnt get the results, I will have to request them
6/18 total test 503, total estro 392, estradiol 29.2
I had to beg and bitch to get most of these tests. I really think that I have been blacklisted. I was sent to the endo because the urologist wouldnt give me testosterone til I had the high total estrogen checked out. The endo flat out told me she couldnt help me and gave me no references for who could. And the really weird part was the female endo came back in to the room after I was pissed off and told me they were refunding my copay and then said she wasnt a racist! What the F##k does that mean? I am white.

Right now I am taking a 1/4 of the 1mg per day til someone can give me a better solution. Should I stop the adex? I should be losing alot more weight especially this time of year(landscaping) and the bloating is killing me. As far as the doctor situation I am at a total loss. If the urologist cuts me off I got my gear head friend. Which test would I choose for my own trt?

Don't listen to "bodybuilders". They do what they do and take for granted the value of an intact, healthy, optimal running HPTA. Their advice is disgusting, in accurate and many have messed themselves up forever listening to the average jerk off "bodybuilder" at the local gym.
Those types that preach cycles should shut their trap and do what they do without flaunting or advertising which almost always burns a teenager that is still growing.
I have NO respect to be honest with you for people that preach to healthy individuals to cycle.

Drop.....

If u were my kid and you came home to tell me this.....
I would honestly go to that gym wait for Mr. Tren and when we are done....lets say he won't be up to working out for a few months....(at minimum)

Not to be a dick, but your reading comprhension is terrible. STOP taking ADEX your about to crash your E2. look at megatrons sig. In that sig you will find a place to get bloodwork done without having to beg. Place the order get the bloodwork EZPZ. Make it happen. Its funny you'll take broscience advice from hardheads but won't take the GOOD advice your getting here.

Got it. No more adex. Privatemd has a office 3.5 miles away. I appreciate the advice here. I am not NOT listening to this advice. I just started the thread and will stop taking the adex. Thank you.
