How much AI is needed to lower E2

[ZXR-Photo]

For me if you plan staying on this dose for a long time you can try lowering e2 somewhat aggressively, recheck e2 and then reassess your dose from there. It seems very hard for me to crush your e2 in lets say a month, unless you're taking 1mg arimidex every day.

You could start with 0,25mg every day as ksm mentioned and if you can't split the pills in quarters then take half every other day. The more frequent the better. I think taking 1mg twice a week you may be feel it kicking hard.

You can start now with arimidex which is perhaps more direct and potent than aromasin and when you drop e2 at 40-45 you can continue with aromasin because longterm is more lipid friendly. Just don't the mistake to estimate or guess with that thing, start a protocol (for example 0,25 ed or 0,5mg eod) and after a month check e2 again. If it comes out at lets say 70 continue for 2-3 weeks and check again until you reach a good level.

Same if for any reason it reduce it below the optimal range, if it come out 20, stop taking it for a week and then continue with half of what you're taking BUT i'd advise you to recheck e2 after sometime to verify everything is under control.

It takes sometime to dial it in. It would be easier if you kept monitoring it since you started but you're passed that point now. Also, just a recommendation if you want to avoid taking too much AI in the future, start microdosing with every day injections and identically you could try the subcutaneous route to see if you can handle it. It will reduce the conversion to estrogens.

Thank you for this info and taking the time to write all this out it is much appreciated. After reading this earlier i set up more labs for next month and I'm going to give this a go.

I was just listening to Dom Cardone saying he needs 1mg every other day with 750, i've seen plenty of guys taking 1mg every day and recently i came across a log of someone taking 1mg arimidex and 25mg aromasin every day (for a bigger amount of test though).

What you need is vastly different from what other guys need. I was taking half aromasin a week with 200 test and my e2 was 106, and i was pinning every day. 1mg arimidex a week of course is not needed for long term and it's not sustainable, but it will get him down and then he can lower the dose.

If i remember correct @Ateam2023 had to take 3mg adex a week to lower e2 with 200mg test, right?

Yes indeed 1 mg 3x week but it was @tt of 2089 on 300 mg testc c , but dropped to 200 mg a week when my e2 was that high 82 ,
it brought my e2 from 82 down to 17 in a month at that protocol , so damned near crashed it so be careful dex works good but it "can work 2 good" ime

I'd do 1 mg with each injection. Retest E2 about 2 weeks later. Might want to lower T dose if you are going for true TRT, but only mess with 1 variable at a time at this point.

Im a n a TRT Dose of 150mg/week split into 2 doses right now with no other compounds and my E2 is running at 149 how much of an AI should i be taking to get it at a good level attached is my last bloodwork. Dr gave me 30 arimadex but i dont want to crash my E2

Crazy that you aromatize that much off 150mgs test …

Could try injecting 3 times a week but doubt that will lower it enough either. Also agree that .5mg once a week or .5mg twice a week nothing more thank that tho to start. Test again in 2-3 weeks

Im surprised everyone is advocating for these dosages of AI. The dosages recommended are what I thought one would need on a proper cycle. He is only on 150mg/week

If anyone had already asked, my apologies, is this trough level or closer to injection time?

So with the same logic you would prescribe a X amount of arimidex for someone who's taking 500mg test and his e2 is 40 (with no AI), right? Since the test dose is high and despite he's having a normal estradiol, you'd still suggest to take proactively AI? I don't understand the logic..

The AI is used to treat the high estradiol, apparently the amount of Test he's taking means nothing.

I understand where you're coming from. I was assuming his estrogen couldn't be THAT high on 150mg/week. Fair play.

Bro with all respect show me the Person who has 40pg/ml E2 on 500mg Test. This is not possible even with 5-6% bf

If i'm not mistaken Kurt Havens said his e2 stays inside the range with 1gr of test and no AI. Some guys just don't aromatise..there's always outliars like OP with his crazy high e2 on just 150mg.

Chase Irons was taking 3,5gr test with no AI andi his e2 was at 130's, actually lower than our guy here with 150mg.

I can handle 175 mg test E EOD until sides show up. I want to try higher doses of test. How much aromasin would you recommend? 10-30 mg aromasin every morning or only on injection days? I want to try 250 test E EOD.

Boys, everyone is different remember that. But hey, I would start low like 0.25mg 2x/week or eod at most. Anastrozole is some potent AI not to be played with, especially if you get it pharma.

Totally true but with an E2 of 150 0,25mg will do basically close to nothing.

My anastrozole is pharma grade i pick it up from my local pharmacy

That blood draw was 2 hours before i took my injection
