First Test Cyle - Estrogen Concerns

[darksniper87]

Hello guys,
In two weeks from today I will start my first test cycle. It will be a simple 500mg Test Cyp with Arimidex.
Today I've received my hormone blood tests. Here are the results:
LH: 2.74IU/L (0.8 - 7.6)
FSH: 1.87 IU/L (1.6 - 4.6)
Total TEST: 30.9 nmol/L (8.49 - 55.47)
E2: 54.5 pg/mL (< 56)

My stats are 170cm, 75kg, 12% body fat. I'm 28 years old.

I am little concern with my E2 levels, which as you can see are at max level. What do you suggest? Should I start at a higher arimidex dose? e.g. 0.5mg ED

TIA

Your at the top end but not in danger unless u feel nipple sensations, moodiness, e d issues...

But to be safe I d try to skew it down a bit..so a incremental increase in your ai is probly good....

An expert will wade in shortly...I m a laid man lol

You did not include reference ranges...

Natty E2 levels have nothing whatsoever to do with what your E2 levels will be on cycle. Entirely different process with the HPTA feedback loop.

Sorry for the missing reference ranges. I've edited my OP.
So, I shouldn't be concerned about my natty E2 value?
Also, after 7 weeks on cycle I'll do another blood test.
Should the E2 levels be the same as my natty one?

I would not be concerned about your blood work.

Natty E2 levels, as I previously stated, have no bearing on E2 levels while on cycle.

Ok, so what about the blood test I'll do while on cycle.
I mean what values should I watch for to make sure that I'm fine?

Read the link below in my signature. It covers what blood work to run on cycle.

As for E2, most guys like it to fall between 20-40pg/ml when using the Sensitive Assay
