Should I be taking my Adex when I pin or the day after?

[SilverBackGorilla]

I pin 100mg every 3.5 days of Test Cyp, I take .5mg of Adex when I do. Is there any reason I should wait until the next day to take the Adex? Thanks.

That's what I do... the reasoning being to try to overlap the peak serum concentration of both meds as much as possible.

Technically peak timing might be more aligned if you take your adex the day after, however many people have said it doesn't matter all that much, and it's just easier to do it all at once. Are you sure you need a .5mg for each injection? Be careful with the adex dosing, that might be a little high.

I do it all at once because it makes it a whole lot easier for me to remember to take it. I fear forgetting to take it the next day. Maybe I am not getting the perfectly optimal timing -- but missing a dose is far worse in my mind.

I usually do the day after as well, but it really doesnt matter much, just be dosing it right.

I respond pretty well to test, 200 a week puts me in the 1200's at my trough but my old doc was cool with it. My Adex dose seems to be spot on keeping me in the 20's. New doc wasn't wild about my T level being that high and was concerned for my pituitary gland but an MRI confirmed I have a couple small tumors on it (non cancerous I guess) so the thing isn't working anyhow. You would think that my LH and FSH being below normal before I ever had my first injection would have been clue enough it was not working but now we are sure. He had pulled me down to 50mg a week and I tanked! Back up to 200mg and have hit my 315# bench press goal and am feeling great. Not bad for a 44 year old man that was 360 lbs 2 years ago and is now 288 at 6'2". Only gonna get better after I shed another 30 or so. Beer and Diet Mountain Dew are my kriptonite. I've pretty much cut them out the last couple weeks but when you feel as good as I do right now, all I want to do is party like I'm 18. I'll get past it. Thanks for the replies guys!

Don't over complicate it. If you want we can get into the weeds about half lives and serum levels and dosing for AI proportionate to test on an individual basis...hell could be fun. Haha. But what you're doing works. And works for most people I know.
If you know how .5 Adex affects you at your target serum level then stick with it. In general it is a higher end dose for 200mg/wk... But I do the same man. I use Adex .5 on pin days...it works. Have a good cycle.

^^^Not on cycle brother, just TRT. Haven't ever done a cycle yet, still trying to lean down first.

12-18 hours after shot on a protocol like that.
I would start low and then adjust dose if needed.
Remember the adex might lower your estrogen too much at that dose the longer you are on it.

I take it the day after, but that's just me. Generally speaking I'm sure ether way is fine as long as you get it in that window.

We agree
