Much appreciated! and thank you to all whom has responded so far!
Another question to anyone who is still monitoring this thread. While I'm sure I can get this information by a little googling and math I just want to be sure my own measurements are right.
I plan on running 500mg Test e a week at split 250mg dosages. Mon and thursday. I have two 300mg per ml/cc dosage 10ml/cc vials--I just want to be safe and accurately be able to measure out 250mg. I'm using a 3cc/ml terumo syringe. So 1 cc will draw me 300 exactly. I would like to extend the cycle 12 weeks, not 10 and run at a lower 250 dosage but I want to do my best to accurately draw--any tips or exact line to draw to?
I appreciate any help.

Thanks again man, you and everyone so far has been super informative! About to make a thread about my blood results. Keep an eye out!
Much appreciated! I Just got my lab results and made a thread about it
Responded in your other thread lol
Curiosity question in regards to exemestane! I've seen all sorts of different things in regards to dosages and what not. So why is it necessary to start day one? Is it because since it takes some time to begin suppressing it's better to just knock it out before hand and rather than having to treat problems if and when they arise?
Also, Is there really a standard dosage? It seems to really really vary more so than anything else on a cycle that I've seen. Some people are fine EOD/ED 6.5. Some are fine with 12.5 EOD/ED some absolutely NEED 25 no matter what. I assume the majority of dosages either increase or decrease with your blood results middway through cycle or your sides from it.
You should start from day one bc as soon as your brain senses there's too much test in the system it ramps up conversion to estrogen. Excess estrogen can be beneficial at times but it also has it problems. Best to control your estrogen at all times if you're going to cycle, even many testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) patients use an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on their "cruise". With exemestane also it takes a week or so for it to build serum levels so you don't want to be playing catch up.
Exemestane has a shorter half life in men so ED dosing is better and you can start off small and adjust your dosage as necessitated by blood work. The minimum effective dose of it is 5mg I believe so start 6.25 or 12.5mg/day.
What was the range for your estrogen and how much exemestane are you taking?
Lab results showed my estradiol at 14.6 ranges for normal show 7.6-42.6 pg/ml and i figured considering my already low estradiol I would start with 6.25 and taper up if need be. It's not super low but it's on the tail end of the normal range.

Sure you could do that but your "already low" estradiol will almost positively be raised and again, estradiol specific inhibition is much less than that 60% figure. Erring on the side of caution though is perfectly fine. Just get bloods around wks 6-10 to verify everything is good
It's a given it will be raised regardless so even me being "low" essentially doesn't matter is what you're saying? and the actual dosage basically depends on how my body will convert/how much and that will determine how much I need? So 6.25 may be enough, it may not ? Sorry I keep pressing this particular issue, this one thing has confused me for a bit now.
I did 130 in a year - I just stopped eatting.
Yes. Basically when you add exogenous testosterone your E2 levels will go up, how much depends on your genetics and predisposition to aromatization. 6.25mg/ED is unlikely to crash your E2 levels while "on" and 12.5 more than likely wont either BUT always get bloods done to verify. We can talk theory all day but it means nothing unless you check and make adjustments according to blood panel results brother. Better to be safe than sorry buddy so ask until you understand everything. It's not a game you want to rush into and play catch up when it comes to the learning curve lol
Much appreciated again--my anxiety ridden mind tends to get out of hand sometimes so It's good to have some reassuring advice--even if it is from the internetwebz. lol I'll be getting bloodwork done again at 6-8weeks so long as no crazy sides start popping up and become unmanagable without a lab.
A solid, well thought out plan my friend. Best of luck and stay safe
Thank you sir, you've been a great help!
