Using aromasin to lower naturally high e2

[gunsandviolets]

I have two round of blood work taken over a year apart showing out of range estradiol (40 pg/mL one year and 44 pg/mL as of yesterday) and low test (394 ng/dL a year ago and haven't gotten my testosterone results from yesterday yet, but my LH is on the low side at 3.6 mIU/mL, so I can assume test is low).

I have also had nipple sensitivity lately and my pubertal gyno has gotten worse, so I was thinking about using a low dose of exemestane (6.25 mg 1x or 2x per week) to try to fix this imbalance. My HOPE would be that correcting this would fix the feedback loop more permanently, but maybe not.

Either way, the big caveat here is that I compete in tested powerlifting (APA) and have a meet in Nov. They say the only test for steroids but I'm not sure if that means they just don't test for recreational drugs or if they actually ONLY test for anabolics. There's also a good chance I don't even get tested anyway, I didn't at my last meet.

Does anyone know if a) my idea is stupid, or b) whether taking exemestane for, say, a month, would show up on a urine test in November? In other words, what is the detection time of exemestane?

I also have clomid, nolvadex, and armiadex readily available if those would be more appropriate.

Did you have a doctors referral for your blood work? If so, with your high E2 and symptoms you should be able to get a referral to an Endocrinologist who might be be able to hook you up.

If not and you think gyno symptoms are getting bad I would get on the Nolva 20mg a day to hold that off in the meantime. I can’t say much about the aromasin…but assume you could work around the short half-life of that and the nolva if you’ve got until November.
If you plan to self treat with aromasin monitor your blood work so you don’t crash your e2

E2 crash is so bad

Just contact an online hrt clinic and have them get all your hormones where they should be

I'm no physician, but I almost always treat for the symptoms, not the numbers. You have the symptoms. Just stay on the bloodwork and communicate with your Dr. But as far as the numbers go, the estrogen isn't remarkably high unless you're sensitive, or the ratio to testosterone is highly askew. Also keep an eye on your prolactin, possibly an issue? Increase your B6 with supplements before you add drugs. Best wishes

Should work if that's what you want
