Should I take an AI ?

[Crossfitguy]

I decided to get a blood test mostly because of my lack of symptoms. I am six weeks into a 500mg/wk test enanthate Cycle. I don’t have acne, sensitive nipples, high libido, more motivation or anything else that I expected. I am less motivated and perhaps have less libido And less appetite for food. Seems like I am more stiff, less flexible, but I am 49 so…

However I have gained almost 20 Lbs and I am 15-20% stronger.

Here are my results.
testosterone 2602
estradiol 161

I guess my question is wether I should start taking arimidex.

there are some riskis of having high E2, like incresed risk of thrombosis. surpised you tolerate that nunber with no sides, anyway if i was you i would that that arimidex and try to keep E2 around the high end of the reffrence range

as far as side effects and short-term tolerance are concerned, it's very subjective, but in the long-term it would be better to keep the estrogens at bay.

you do a cycle and then pct or what else?

try lowering estrogen, AI work pretty fast, and see if you feel better

After this cycle I will be back on trt. My estrogen is about 50 on 100mg of testosterone and that is fine.

I will take .25 of Arimidex twice a week and see what happens. Maybe I will retest in a couple of weeks.

Im a little concerned about the high EOSINOPHILS. Could I be having a reaction to the testosterone?

Eosinophilia could be transitory, id be worried if they were to be high on the next test as well. next time make sure to check some other markers too, like cholesterol
