Is there any harm in taking Anastrazole infrequently?

[Chiefy]

I'm 3 weeks into my protocol.

100mg test cyp EW
500iu hCG 2x/wk

I don't have any obvious signs of elevated E2 but my nipples feel a little weird. A bit sensitive and they stay hard. No lumps or itching yet, but I don't want this to get any worse. I might be overreacting but the thought of gyno setting in is a concern for me.

I'll probably end up decreasing my hCG dose from here on out, and possibly splitting my test dose.

Is there any harm in taking a small dose of Anastrazole right now to nip this in the bud? I'd rather not take it regularly, but just as needed until I get dialed in.

With that dose of test I highly doubt you need an AI but like always get bloods done. Plain and simple.

You would be suprised....
He's on roughly 1 k i.u. a week of HCG.
I would take the adex lowest dose possible @ 0.25 mg on days of HCG shot. So E3D.
Run labs and see how you feel.
You could take an extra low dose just make sure you dont take too much. Leave a comfort period of 50-72 hours from last dose.

see if you can get away with cutting hcg dosage in half. That may do the trick as far as e2 and still be an effective dose. If it does not that .25mg adex e3d is just fine but of course blood work will dictate your protocol. Being only 3 weeks in I wouldn't necessarily start going crazy changing things up just yet. Give it a couple more weeks man. Nipple sensitivity is a sign of hormonal fluctuations, pretty natural at this stage man,

JimiThing has the right idea.

Dr. Crisler's protocol recommends Test once a week, 250.i.u. of hcg on day's 5, and 6 after weekly test shot. That protocol makes a lot sense to me timing wise. Of course blood work will still dictate if you need an A.I.

Thanks fellas. I may just be overreacting to a harmless side effect. As the day went on, the sensitivity seemed to get better. I need to learn to be patient, but I'll talk to my doctor about cutting my hCG dose in half. I'd like to avoid taking an AI if possible.

I injected 500iu of hCG this morning and am due for my 100mg test shot tomorrow morning. Hopefully my nips tolerate it.

Perhaps I should ask my doctor about splitting my test dose before I inject tomorrow.

i agree.. 100mg cyp and 500iu hcg shouldn't cause issues.. but bloodwork would be the best bet

What if someone is mad king the transition from natty and their estradiol is 36.5 pg/ml with 400 TT and hoping on 50 MG E3D of T?

I would imagine their Estradiol would go up even more...

without bloodwork we are making blind guesses though.. yes there are people who are much more susceptible to aromatization... i do agree

 

[Chiefy]

I didn't plan on having labs drawn until week 8 but I may go ahead and get some done now anyway. No harm in having extra bloodwork.

When younger (leaner too) i could handle more Test with less estradiol issues.

get blood work, not randomly hop on stuff when you dont know whats going on.

It's worse for us cause we can't order labs in Canada from private labs.
