When to start ai on test cycle

[Recoil9]

I am completing my 4th week on my first test cycle. Test e 200mg 1.5cc 2 times a week. I didn't get my ai until a little over a week ago and am now taking adex 1mg eod.
I'm thinking this might be too little too late as I have no morning or night wood.
Should I bump adex to 1mg a day? Or am I taking too much and need to scale back to .5 eod?
I'm 53 yo male and this is my first cycle. I'm noticing gains in gym just not in bed. Lol thanks for any guidance.

600mg a week? What gear? Have you done a baseline with bloodwork? Thats alot of adex. Or not. Labwork will tell

Yeah, 1mg adex EOD is a lot for a simple test cycle. Sounds like you may have crashed your estro. I'd hold off downing that stuff daily.

bloods is the only real way to know, you might not need it at all.

You most likely crashed your e2 . Hold off on the adex for a few days and you should be good. Getting blood work would be best but for future reference don't use more then .5 adex eod

I would start after 1 week. Start with a low dose and increase if you need to.

Is there a wary to cut capsules down to 50? Mine are red and blue.1mg
I just keep getting conflicting reports so I need to make sure I find right cycle

Sorry fella but if 600mg of Test a week hasn't improved your low libido issue the problem is NOT a male or female hormone issue!

But at "age 53" you SHOULD already know or have been told that!

Get one of these at any pharmacy, they're cheap:

I have the capsules not tabs.

Dr Jim there's other variables that could be affecting me. It could be not starting an ai earlier in cycle? Maybe taking to much adex in week 3 crashed my E levels?

My mistake, I read over that. Get tabs.

After letting e2 rebound, consider taking 1 capsule on pin days and adjust as needed. Bloodwork is going to be your friend, though, since e2 management isn't easy to dial in by how you feel.

Can you open the caps and separate the powder?

 

[Recoil9]

Quick update, not sure if this means anything, but I have suddenly had some pretty substantial joint pain at night and early morning. Shoulder and elbow pain was so bad it woke me up and disrupted sleep last few nights.

I can't help but think I either over or under used the adex.
With that said, can anyone point me to a good online lab to get a request for bloodwork?

You've crashed your estro. Give it time to rebound and reduce your dose.

I generally don't start taking an AI until week three or so, depending on the cycle.

You can't treat elevated E2 before you actually have elevated E2. All you're doing by taking it right away is suppressing your natural estradiol levels.

AI medications reach peak blood concentrations and take effect very quickly.

Kind of my thoughts exactly. I go for labs in morning and hopefully find out where I'm at so I can take the right course of action.
