Super high estradiol on blood test mid-cycle

[jiggama2797]

Results from week 4 on:
50mg test ace/d
75mg tren ace/d
15mg winny/d (to control shbg)
0.25mg arimidex/d

Total test = 962 (249-836)
LH = 0.1 (1.7-8.6)
FSH = <0.2 (1.5-12.4)
Estradiol = 171.7 (7.6-42.6)

Do these numbers look right for the cycle? Estradiol seems through the roof, and I figured arimidex would've kept that under control.

Forgot to mention baseline pre-cycle numbers:
Total test = 549 (249-836)
LH = 5.6 (1.7-8.6)
FSH = 2.0 (1.5-12.4)
Estradiol = 37.4 (7.6-42.6)

Estro is super high. Im surprised adex isn't helping more. I would bump that up to 1mg ed. Test levels I would think would be higher but that's actually about the same as my test levels were for my last on test.

How r u feeling? Sex drive ok? does it look like ur holding a lot of water?

 

[jiggama2797]

I think test levels are about right for 350mg/wk and the high levels of estro. No problems with sex drive and not too much water retention that I notice. The only things I notice is that I'm always lethargic and I have trouble eating without wanting to puke.

estradiol way high,mine was the same brother,and i took aromasin 25mg ed for 2 weeks and brought it down,and a few days i used 37.5mg,but i didnt really need but 25mg,cause when i got it rechecked it was 12,a little low

This is common with test ace. It spikes you test immediately after inject then your body responds with extra aromatase then T levels decline but estro stays high. A better option is to dose test ace twice a day and split the mg between the two. High estro is going to reduce the amount of free test.

Interesting, i didn't think of it this way. I took the blood test about 15 hours after my last inject so it makes sense. I upped the arimidex to 1mg/day for now just to see if it helps anything. I just placed an order for some letro and aromasin just incase, because I only have nolva and arimidex right now.

Get some aromisin. It will render the aromatase basically inactive. Your body will produce more but you just need to get it under control.

Test seems way to low, 900? That's like normal for a lot of people. I was close to 3k on my last test cycle 6 weeks in at 500 a week.

What makes you think 900 is "normal"? In the "300mg vs 600mg of testosterone" sticky, 300mg test e showed as 1345 on a blood test. I'm taking 350mg test ace, and considering the high aromatization into estrogen that I'm seeing, I think that it seems about right. If I properly controlled estrogen from the beginning, I think the test levels would probably be in the mid-1000's, which is what I was expecting.

I had a 900 total test level when i was 24.

I did 500 test and was over 2k.

Ive seen results on other boards where people were in the 3-4k total test.

Just saying i wouild be pissed if i was only at 900, im 35 and my last blood test had me at 600 off cycle.

Any update?

I just took bloods today to see where this new Lab I'm using has me!

user is spot on here. its not un common for E2 to be 10x higher than normal amount on cycle.

 

[Tpeter]

But is it normal he is only 100 points higher on total test reference range?

depends on alot of factors such as:

how much is he taking?

when was his blood draw in relation to last shot?

maybe aromatising all his T.

but yea even with all that its still a lil low

To answer this, I am taking about 350mg test acetate a week (I skipped some injections due to pain from EO), and when I took the blood test was about 15 hours after my last injection.

On another note...Oak, what are your thoughts about running low dose letro on cycle? I'm in the middle of planning a test en, tren en cycle (thinking 500mg test, 400mg tren a week) so I might have this E2 issue again, and I want to nip it without killing off all estro.
