High estradiol numbers - new to this

[flakvest]

Hey guys. 44 yo male here. I got in to working out later in life and just decided to try a cycle of Test-P only. My diet is super clean. Water intake is usually a gallon a day and I'm working out 5 days a week.

I'm taking Test-P 300mg a week (100 mg Mon, Wed, Fri)
4 weeks in I had a blood test and my estradiol was way up so I started taking Arimidex (.5 g every day). I feel a lot better but I'm still not feeling that alpha male feeling I did when I first started and I have almost no libido and almost never a morning wood. I wanted to post my numbers here and see if you guys have some advice. Should I raise/lower my Arimidex intake, e.t.c. I'm new here so hopefully I'm putting this in the right place. With the Arimidex, I don't believe I've gone too low on Estradiol since I'm not having achy joints, etc but I'm a total noob at this. What do you guys think

If you have legit arimidex 0.5mg EVERY DAY is very high . Arimidex is strong stuff . It will lower estrogen significantly . I would suggest u take it every OTHER day . You may have lowered your estrogen too much . I was taking 1G of test per week and noticed a small lump under my nipple , thinking it was gyno i took 1mg arimidex for 3 days then 0.5 for a a couple days and it killed my estrogen . To the point i had ED issues a few days . Try eod , that should help . plus 300mg isnt that high of a dose , your definetly over doing it

I will do that and report back. Thanks.

there is nothing wrong with running a test prop cycle and letting your estrogen elevate a little, , it can actually help your gains. If it gets too high you can have problems yes, but again estrogen being elevated slightly on cycle is just fine , imo

Pinning test prop every other day would keep more stable blood levels and would make managing estrogen a lot easier. You would have to get blood work again to see if your dosing your adex properly...

While I do agree that being a little bit over can be okay, four times over the top end of the range is a bit excessive. Although I am of the firm belief that our dicks know better than we do, and at the first sign of estradiol problems, they tend to sleep in.

I would cut that dose down drastically OP. Heck, you probably killed your estradiol, and hence why you're not feeling so stellar at this point. Another blood test will confirm, but I'm thinking your dose of adex is about 4x too high.

^^ I agree, you prob crashed your e2. Symptoms are very similar if e2 is low or high, which makes blood work a necessity.
