Estrodial levels

[NecroPhil]

Hey guys. I have an estrodial level of 80 after 6 weeks of 500mg / week of test. Is this high or is this sort of normal? I am not having any sides really. No acne or mental sides. Should I start an Ai?

That's a little high.

Whats your Status? Like Height, Weight and Bodyfat in % ?

5'10" 202 lbs. Haven't done a dexa scan or anything but I can kinda see my abs but it's hard cause i have alot of extra skin cause 10+ years ago I was 330 fat as fuck and have lost all that weight and kept it off for years. But guessing around 15% - 20%bf so I bet if I got leaner my estrodial would be lower.

Maybee thats from your high Bodyfat. Estrogen converts and binds higher on People with higher % of Bodyfat.

I try to keep my E2 in normal ranges as some small studies tend to show even high normal and above can be worse for longevity. I look long term with all my health, nutrition etc.

How much adex or aromasin do you use? Obviously the proper thing to do would be to try a small dose and then get bloodwork done but what dose works for you?

It’s more of a tough decision on if/when you should add an AI to the mix than actually most agree on. Yes, 80 for an e2 level is rather higher than needed or wanted. Based on you stating that you have for sure over a 15% BF level, taking an AI is not the end of the world. Some are dead set against AI’s though and there will be arguments between both Aromasin & Arimidex, along with how much to experiment with to not crash your e2.

You just have to decide which one you’d like to run and that will determine frequency. Generally, Arimidex is 2x/week and Aromasin varies on every other day, every 3 days, etc.
