E2 Skyrocketed after 7 Weeks (Arimidex Advice)

Thanks, guys. I’m gonna have it tested saturday, as tomorrow is national holiday. I believe I’ll have the results on monday.

I took a while to take the e2 test, so I ended up testing everything.
I already have results for estradiol.

Since my last post in april (e2 was E2 93,0 pg/mL (<39,8 pg/mL) I started a 0,25mg EOD, then I began cruising and followed an advice to taper the AI dose (E3D then E4D) for 2-3 weeks.

I now am on week 2 of lowering Test E dose, and decided to check what is going on.
Then e2 came up 71,7pg/mL. It was going relatively fine with the dose, but something happened last week (no wood, soft erections, fatigue etc)

What do you guys suggest?

Edit: More results are available
Total T 1424,34 ng/dL (164,94 to 753,38 ng/dL)
Free T 42,65 ng/dL (3,4 to 24,6 ng/dL)
FSH 0,53 mUI/mL (1,4 to 18,1 mUI/mL)
LH 0,07 mUI/mL (0,6 to 12,1 mUI/mL)
SHBG 25,75 nmol/L (10,00 to 57,00 nmol/L)

71 is still way over the top. Get back on your AI and you could also drop your T dose you don’t need a 1424 year round. This high T dose will just bring on other negative issues.

Thanks for the reply. I got back but raised a bit the dose to 0.5 EOD. In 10 days or so I test it again (I’m desperate to find my sweet spot). About the T dose, I already dropped to 150mg/wk, which is usual for TRT. It was about 3900 during the cycle, So I guess in one more week it gets down to reference levels.

Since I found twice a year cycling I have had no desire to play the high T game all year long. I just got sick of having to donate blood all the time crashing my ferritin. Eating Ai’s like they were candy to keep my E2 in check so I could get and keep wood. I have found 80mg/wk is perfect. No Ai no donating. No gains lost between blasts.
I really feel sorry for those guys who think, or have talked themselves into, needing 200, 250, 300mg/wk. In time they will figure it out or they will die young like so many others have.

Let me add some info: on sunday I took 0.5mg and yesterday after the result of the exam out of kind of desperation I took 1mg. Today I woke up to a nice wood. Now I don’t know what to do. I don’t think E2 is low yet, but I fear I that I will crash it.

Only take your AI when you think you need to. Your wood is back stop taking the AI it did its job.
Maintaining a steady dose when it is not needed is how so many end up crashing their E2.
I can feel my anastrozole working in as little as 4 hours. That shit is powerful.

The last result is in:
DHT over 1500,0 pg/mL (135,0 to 1365,0 pg/mL)

I feel it should be lower, but I don’t know.

Ok, guys! Updates. New numbers after cycle.

Pre-cycle

DHT no results yet

Should I go on with nolva? What else should I do?

Oh man, was your hair falling out right before your eyes? That is a lot of DHT.
I need DHT to keep my dick hard but not that much.

Your E2 is still high but I don’t think you have a gyno problem. That said nolva never hurt anyone. Take it if you got it.

My hair always fell quite a lot, but I never had any problem (aka baldness).

I still have 2 weeks worth of nolva, I guess I’ll finish the pack.

I also thought about running some AI, but I don’t have any symptom of high E2 right now, so I believe I’ll leave it for the body to regulate.

How long after being off the Nolva was the second round of blood work?

Hey, Iron. I’m not done with Nolva yet. Still a week and a half to go. Then I’ll wait 6 weeks to do another (and definitive I guess) round of blood work. The one from last week was just a “half-way” test.

DHT came 1259,0 pg/mL (135,0 a 1365,0)

Gotcha. How are the other health markers looking? RBC, HCT, cholesterol, etc?

Everything fine! Only thing a bit high is the TSH

Stubborn belly fat after finishing PCT with Nolva. Is it normal? I’m exercising a lot and eating very healthy, yet I gained a lot of fat and it doesn’t go away.
