    In the 3rd week of; ( first cycle)

    Can u provide units of measurement, I'm used to nmol/L and need to convert those values.

    If you're on cycle now and libido is off, chances are it's an E2 problem.
    It could be too high or too low.
    If it's too low reducing the AI should help, too high then up the AI.

    Other symptoms of high E2 is water retention/bloat and possible high blood pressure.

    Mid cycle blood work required. Check prolactin too just in case.

    I don't see any issues with your current cycle, besides the possibility of elevated E2. You have a pretty standard cycle layout which should suit 9 out of 10 guys.

    I think anything we say is just speculation at this point. No problem waiting 3 weeks for mid cycle blood work.

    Is it normal for E2 to jump that high in 2.5 weeks while taking an AI?

    Yes, one reason is to cycle with too high body fat. You were suppose to cut to 15% or less before starting...

    Sharp eye Mr. BB

    Body fat is way too high, could be causing elevated E2.

    So, assuming that could be the issue. Do I increase the AI (anastrozole) to .5 mg EOD?

    You need to up it until E2 sides go down, titrate carefully not to shut down E2 too much. I hope someone else can chime in on the dose.
    But doubling to 0,5, I don't know if that's too much, but it's not an uncommon dose.

    Also, as far as symptoms go I don't feel anything negative at this point.

    E2 - 16 The "normal" range is between 10 to 40 pg/ml. At your age, your E2 should be about 25 pg/ml. So you're actually a little low on your E2.

    In the 3rd week of; ( first cycle)
    Test cyp 400mg per week
    HCG 250iu 2x week
    Anastrozole .25 mg eod

    Don't change anything right now. Wait 3 weeks and get your mid cycle blood test. Take a look at that test before you make adjustment. My .02

    Why would I not consider increasing the AI to a higher, yet common dose? @ scotch, just trying to understand where you're coming from. Thanks.

    Because increasing the AI would lower E2 levels even more. As Scotch said, you are already on the low end of normal.

    I didn't see that. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm still trying to figure this out.

    Without blood work it's all just a guess. I agree with Scotch. Just wait until you get your mid cycle bloods and adjust your AI accordingly. Good luck bro!

    Your body's pretty amazing. Once you get your dosages lined out, your body will adapt and adjust. You're young and healthy, you'll be back in the saddle soon. Just be patient and give your body some time to adjust.

    Thought I'd drop in and inform you all that things seem to have bounced back to normal now that I'm in week 4. I'm feeling pretty good and it's back to business as usual. Thanks for all your input. It's pretty wild how much things change week to week.

    Good to hear bro. Low libido is very normal with AAS
