I kinda wanted the slow rise in estrogen…back to normal levels.
For the most part, this was just an experiment to see how my body would
respond to a powerful AI in small doses. I don’t think I’ll be going around
looking for aromasin just to see how that works. I already got what I wanted and am
now getting off of it. I also have Arimidex, which I will try next; probably in 4 weeks or so.
What I did find is that with one drop of the dropper of femara in the morning, which is approx 16mcg, did give me a kind of boost in the gym. The weights did feel lighter, and my stroke felt more focused and tactile. Probably the best part about trying this out was the slow disappearance of my pimples.
I normally am somewhat of a pimply dude… not crazy bad… but whenever I’m not messing with my hormones with test boosters and stuff, I normally have atleast one pimple or two… when on test boosters, I have a handful of them. When I took femara, at the one drop dose in the morning, after about 3-4 days, my pimples started going away… very cool. When I mixed femara with the test boosters, I still got the pimples, but not as bad.
So, it seems that femara tends to lessen my pimples, make me stronger, leaner, etc. Not by a whole lot… but… I can see it mattering when you stay on a very low dose of this stuff for a couple of months. If only for my pimples going away, I already like it; though I do recognize that it can be dangerous to lower estrogen for a really long time, so i intend to use it sparingly, or maybe at even lower doses… maybe a drop on the tongue every two days when i do decide to get on it for my pimples.
for now, imma test out arimidex too…see how that works. prob two drops with that every morning. imma try that in 4 weeks maybe.

BONEZ: Have you tried exemestane? You said to space out AI dosages while tapering. Couldn’t skipping a a day or two of dosing cause gyno? I read changing levels of estrogen can be worse than just high estrogen, but I’m not sure if that sounds right.
With continual usage, I would be worried about fertility issues. Maybe there isn’t a big risk, but the hormone system is delicate, why take the risk.
spinsy: I think exemestane would be a good choice for an AI. It irreversibly binds to the aromatase enzyme. That means new enzymes would have to be produced before estrogen production could resume. With letro and arimidex, the AI falls off the enzyme after a few days. I think that might cause a slow rise in estrogen, but I’m not sure. It doesn’t interfer with nolvadex absorbtion. It also only lowers estrogen production to like 30% at max dose, whereas letrozole can lower it to 5%.[/quote]
