    Can't tell if my estrogen is too high or too low

    *I have no access to blood tests for another week*

    I started my cycle 3 weeks ago of test e 500mg a week. I started my aromatase inhibitor a week ago at 25mg aromasin daily but two days ago I brought it down to 12.5mg daily and today I skipped it entirely. The reason I added it in was because my right nipple started getting erect throughout the day for no reason (kind of like when it gets cold). I had an estradiol of 41 before cycling and had a small gyno lump before every cycling so I wanted to prevent any exacerbation but I think I may have nuked my levels.


    Symptoms:

    - Knees hurt when I stand up
    - No sex drive
    - Blurry vision when I was hiking
    - If i watch any "videos", I get an erection but the penis head doesn't get as hard and I lose the boner quick
    - Still have morning wood
    - Lethargic and irritated
    - Wanted to nap after sleeping 10 hours
    - Peeing a lot at night
    - USED to have intense sweating at night like 4 days ago. My bedsheets would be drenched and I read that that can be from low estrogen.



    Of course I plan on getting a blood test done but I have to wait a week. Should I leave aromasin out still or do just 6.25mg ED. I've read some placed that you need it ED and I read at other places that the aromatase enzyme takes 3-4 days to get cycled out for new ones so you can take it E3D.



    I don't feel bloated, but my right nip still gets erect randomly throughout the day which is the only reason I fear that my estrogen may be high even though all of the other symptoms seem to be indicative of low estrogen.

    Edit:

    Just got a spontaneous erection, feels harder as well, I'll chart my doses in case it ever helps someone in the future:

    25mg
    25mg
    25mg loss of sex drive from here on out
    25mg
    12.5mg
    12.5mg
    NONE

    Last dose was yday at 12.5mg, did none in this morning, it's been 30 hours since last dose, I think my sex drive may be coming back up.

    Once my sex drive returns, would you recommend 12.5mg EOD or E3D or just 6.25mg ED or EOD. 25mg was apparently way too much.

    If its real aromasin it is very hard to crash e2 with it.

    If its UGL it can be swapped for cheaper AI.

    Pick a moderate dose and stick with it. Pull BW in week 5 or 6. You cannot effectively judge your E2 level by erections alone.

    The symptoms point to it being low. But just pick a low dose and ride it out for a bit.
