New here! Canadian. Help me optimize my TRT

[IceSkates]

I'm new here. 37 5'7 ~148 lb Healthy & fit generally.

I thought by way of an intro post i'll also get the wonderful perspective of the experts here.

Currently running 100 mg/week test e. Gets me to about 1095 total test ng/dl and e2 77 pg/ml.

All's good but would like to check the E2 a bit.

I was thinking about adding some primo at about 50-100 mg/week (if i can find it) to control E2 and also get the added anabolic goodness.

Does it seem reasonable or would you just rather do an AI instead.

Seems totally reasonable although CDG and berberine (as a result of improved insulin sensitivity) may pull your E2 down just enough to have great libido / androgenic trait

Thank you. I was considering CDG and maybe DIM but did not know berberine helps too. Can you elaborate on that and have you successfully used these supplements to check E2?

welcome to the board man! honestly if your e2 is at 77 on just 100mg of test you must be a pretty heavy aromatizer lol. adding primo is a solid way to go because it usually acts like a mild ai for most guys and obviously feels way better than just popping an arimidex which can crush your joints if you overdo it. i’d start with 50mg of primo and see how you feel after a few weeks... if you go 1:1 right away you might actually tank your estrogen too low and feel like total crap. definitely better than an ai in my book plus you get that nice lean look from the primo as a bonus. gl with the hunt for it!
