Blood test after 6 weeks of my first cycle Test E 500mg

[Bruce_x]

Hello everyone and thanks for anyone who can give me some suggestions and advice.

After asking for advice on how to perfect my first cycle here on the forum, I carried out the blood tests as usual before starting the cycle thus composed.

Week 1-12: 250 mg Testosterone Enanthate E3.5D (500mg total)
Week 4-12: 0.25mg Arimidex EOD, 250 IU HCG EOD

4 WEEKS OFF
Week 1-2: 20 mg Tamoxifen(Nolva) ED
Week 3-4: 20 mg Tamoxifen(Nolva) ED
Week 5-6: 20 mg Tamoxifen(Nolva) ED

I would like to point out that I used Adex E3.5D when I used the test, in fact things were going well, but I noticed that the dose was too low and the symptoms of high E2 were very evident as the days went by , so I had found the right EOD dose (practically 1.25mg per week) which made me feel quite good, even if I was noticing in this last week that this quantity was a bit low because of the symptoms, especially when on the same day I had Test and HGC, were very pronounced (burning nipples, lethargy, feverish symptoms and headache)

At week 6 I took blood tests as usual to see how the situation was.

In light of these tests, instead of using 0.25mg EOD I thought of 0.50mg (1 caps) E2D, so as to have 1.50mg per week instead of 1.25mg. I know that perhaps it is still low in dosage and for this reason I ask you for help, but knowing that with adex or in any case with an AI you shouldn't mess around too much, I wouldn't want to go too far.
I accept suggestions and advice.
Thanks for your help!

I would leave it at 0.25 mg EOD.
Your E2 is good!

HI!
I have E2 almost 9 times more than normal since the beginning of the cycle, how can this be good?

Your before fycle values were very low. If you don’t have symptoms dont crush your e2 as it’s also anabolic. It’s barely out of range.

Hi Mochul!

Thanks for the clarification in the meantime. At the moment I have no symptoms with this dose of adex and HCG I have dropped from 1000UI/week to 500week, so it is even more reason to keep this amount of adex. My goal is also to completely avoid crushing my e2 levels.

I thought that having a low range an e2 like this was normal, I've never had a comparison before.

idk if I buy the whole e2 anabolic thing or people just repeat it

could say the same for your testosterone.

is it causing issues? No? dont mess with it

 

[mochul]

Well maybe it’s not building muscle directly but it definitely helps with cardio vascular system which is important when training.

HI!

You're right, I hadn't even thought about it on the terms of testosterone.

She opened my eyes because I didn't expect such a high E2 value from the exams. Of course, I was aware it would be high but not like that. Maybe it's because I'm already really short, so I was surprised to see him like that.

The important thing is to keep it below the expected maximum range and try to get it back at the end of the cycle.

I am at 600 test U a week. I am sure my e2 is around 130-150.

IDGAF, I feel fine.

I may grab lab work to just see where I am at but it's just a number and not affecting me

Testosterone has increased proportionately, hasn't it?
If you reduce estradiol now, libido may decrease.
If you feel fine, don't worry! It's good E2 for cycle

It's true, it has increased proportionally.
Yes with adex 0.25 EOD I feel good. I'll keep it that way. thanks Maui

I decreased HCG to 500ui/week instead of 1000ui/week as it seemed a bit excessive for a 500mg/week amount of text. Are you saying that this change could cause an excessive decrease in e2?

Estradiol will decrease slightly.
So, there is no need to increase the dosage of A-dex.
500ui/week It's enough
