dont forget, just because estrogen is in range, doesnt mean its good for you. i feel a big mental difference from 20 to 40 e2.
people underestimate the differences.
40 e2 is DOUBLE 20 e2. thats significant
some people even say 50-60 is ok. that is TRIPLE my natural e2.
my natty e2 was 22. i aim for that.
some people might even think 50-60 is ok for them.. i am a mess at 55.
at 50+ e2 i am depressed and very self conscious
double or triple or even 25% higher e2 than baseline is significant when discussing the body.
when my e2 is low, i get tendonitis like symptoms and feel sick, another tell tale sign for me is waking up early, ill start waking up at like 0500 thinking im like a go getter suddenly then a few days in i'll realize my joints hurt.
i dont believe that the more test you take, the higher your e2 can be without mental sides either, people keep repeating broscience like what ive said about masteron supposedly "canceling" out deca sides. the body doesnt work like this, these compounds dont simply cancel eachother out or negate things.
its an oversimplification and we should be past this point in 2024.
if it works for you then go for it, but i dont think most people are themselves with e2 higher than they were natty and i think a lot of guys hear anecdotes from guys that "say" they feel best at 60 e2, and then assume they will be fine too.
Their e2 is a little over the high end, and they say "well thats just a little out of normal but im taking test so its whatever, and it creeps up to like 55 , not realizing how significant this is from the real standard e2 level
because similar to the testosterone range, the e2 level that is good is not what is normal
