Libido dropped on test only cycle.. bloods tomorrow

[mikemc59]

Figured I would post this up here to get some advice and hopefully help anybody else who may have a similar issue, and since I know its probably e2 related i'm going to get some bloods tomorrow that I'll post up here.

Cycle is just test e 500mg/wk 12 weeks and I kicked it off with dbol @50mg for the first 4 weeks.

I took 15mg aromasin ed while I ran the dbol and dropped the aromasin once I finished the dbol.

I just started my 6th week, and my moods have been a little off, anxiety high, and some headaches, none of which bother me too badly, except my libido isnt even where it was precycle. It was also low while I took the dbol, too.

Instead of playing the guessing game about my e2 i'm just gonna get the bloods done and go from there..

Wellllllll, the average effective dose for aromasin is 25mg ED at a cycle of 500mg/wk of just testosterone, so I think you're about to confirm what you suspect.

Kudos for the test, but why cease the AI?

Just seeing how I feel, I guess. I'm not gyno prone but I have everything on hand in case any issues came up.

25mg ED is the average dose? Holy shit.. I've been under the impression that most guys just take 6.25-12.5 ed on average with test only cycles.

you sure that aromasin was legit bro? 15mg is a really decent dose for 500mg test a week IMO. anyway, bloods confirm everything. wait till tomorrow and see what's up

Easily the least properly utilized AI bar-none. Some can get away with 12.5mg EOD, but IME - most can't. You went from an estradiol bomb to a decent test base - I'm certainly curious what that E2 comes back at.

I posted because I felt like it, and was sitting on my computer at the time ordering bloodwork. Put this here for anybody who is interested to follow and maybe help somebody who has a similar issue in the future.


As for the aromasin being legit, I have a lot of trust in my source for sure.

Maybe I'm an anomaly but if I dosed 15 ED on even just test 500 a week I would crash my estradiol to zilch. I take 15mg once a week at 600 per week and I'm good. My bloods have confirmed it time and time again and I don't think my zinc 100mg per night is saving me lol.

On my phone so I can't post up all the blood results but here are some..

Test is >1500
Lh is only .1 on a 1.7-8.6 scale
Fsh is only .2 on a 1.5-12.4 scale
Estradiol is 61.5 on a 7.6-42.6 pg/ml scale...obv

Started taking aromasin @15mg/day and I'll see what changes over the next week.

Should I be concerned with the Lh and Fsh levels, tho?

Your LH and FSH will be close to zero while on cycle. These are the hormones that signal your testes to produce testosterone and sperm. This indicates that your gear is in fact REAL, and you are shut down as expected.
