First Cycle : 500mg Test E, Estrogen balance question

[Pinin4theFjords]

5000 iu in 5ml will make it 1000iu per ml..

so if you want 250iu just go to the 25 mark on the syringe

so that's 10 weeks of hcg at 500iu/wk. It's ok to store the vial in the refrigerator for 10 weeks?

and you can only use an insulin syringe at that concentration

right, makes sense because of the size of the other syringe and low quantity of the draw.

So you meant 25 mark on the insulin syringe?

Yes that's correct.. But you should really run it till pct.. If you only have 5kiu then start week two

So I opened the powered hcg amp (5000iu) and put 1ml water in it. Before that I had put 4ml bac water in a empty vial. I have now (just like the steps mentioned) added the 1ml reconstituted solution into the 4ml bac water.

Was that 1ml tap water or Bac water?

I am having trouble figuring out how much hcg I have now. Say if I were to do 2x250iu injections per week, how much hcg would I draw out per injection?

Say for both a IM syringe and insulin syringe.

Also, how many weeks will this solution last?

I have another 5000iu hcg powder ampule. Would it be better to do the 10ml reconstitution?


Also, the powdered hcg before mixing can be stored in room temp in the dark?

What a pain in the ass of a mix and match.

nah, why waste tap water. I just used my own sweat.

As mentioned above... run the HCG until 3/4 days before commencing PCT... don't stop taking it with your last Test pin, keep it running in the interim.

Thanks for all the info guys!

Chest/nipple symptoms are pretty much gone. Could have gone for 20mg nolva today but decided to take one last 40mg dose and will taper to the 20 from tomorrow. Run it till end of week.

Aromasin is at 12.5mg ed. Will bump it to 25mg when I start running hCG. Will do another bloodwork in 3-4 weeks' time.

Hi guys, just wanted to do an update:

cliffs from OP: 500mg test/wk 1st cycle, did not run AI, started noticing bloat by wk 3 and by the time I did a wk 6 mid-cycle blood-work my E2 had shot up to 101 and had started noticing painful pecs and mildly tender nips.

I ran Nolva at 40mg from that day onwards, tapered quickly to 20mg for a week and then 10mg for a few days before stopping completely 3 days ago. I am also running 25mg Aromasin every day since the 20th August and 500iu/wk hCG.

I just had another round of labs done. Everything came back normal again. My BP is also at a cool 122/75. The gyno symptoms are also completely gone.

Here are my E2 numbers w/ normal range being <39.80 pg/ml:
Pre cycle - 34
End of Week 6 - 101 (had not been running any AI)
Today (wk 9 starts) - 22.06

Now, should I lower the aromasin to 12.5mg ed or keep it at 25mg? Does the 2 week dosage of 25mg suggest that E2 will level out around the number it's at or does it suggest it will keep dropping?

 

[Pinin4theFjords]

Bump.

Anyone?

Ok I tried to post in the FAQs thread but my post was deleted. There are some cliffs in post # 28.

Now I did another bloodwork.

I have halved the Aromasin from 25mg/ed to 12.5mg/ed since almost 3 weeks.

E2 @ 25mg ed for 2 weeks - 22
E2 @ 12.5mg ed for 3 weeks - 29

Is this difference too minor or does it mean that 25mg is a better dose for me?

if you have 29 E2 then it's very good just keep using ai @12.5mg ED, I wonder how you come to 101 E2 didn't you felt awful??? I went to 76 E2 and felt tired as hell...

 

[rikardo82]

how is your BF now? Still @20% ?

 

[Pinin4theFjords]

bf is lower now. I have shed about 5kg and am lifting more weight and looking bigger. If I cut another couple of kgs I should be 15%. I was skinny fat so it's harder to tell the exact bf% when you look lean everywhere but stomach is flabby.

The day I got my bloodwork and E2 was at 101 coincidentally ended up being the same day I started noticing bad symptoms. There were a few mild symptoms but that was the day I experienced nipple pain.

29 is a pretty good place to be at if that is in pg/ml. Did you have the Sensitive E2 Assay done?

I got every test done first thing in the morning in a fasted state but that's about it. I asked 3 different labs about the Sensitive E2 test and they did not know what the fuck I was talking about. I think the sensitive E2 might only be available directly in hospitals in Bangalore, India and not independent diagnostics labs.

and yea it's pg/ml
