l-dex

[Brazil]

If i was to use l-dex for a month to boost test levels, how often do you have to wait before doing it again?

You wouldn't be boosting your test levels....you'll be reducing your estrogen levels.

from what i heard from other members and what I read in the steroid profiles on this forum I thought it did.

Many anabolic steroids aromatize (convert to estrogen via the aromatase enzyme), and this is responsible for many of the unwanted side effects found with anabolic steroid use (acne, gynocomastia, water-retention, etc..). In one study, both .5mg and 1mg doses of Arimidex were shown to decrease estrogen by roughly 50%. The 1mg/day dose also increased testosterone levels by 58% (1). In that same study, in both groups, LH and FSH also went up slightly.
Take a look:

Changes in testosterone and E2 concentrations in normal young men (15–22 yr old) before () and after 10 days of oral anastrozole at 0.5 and 1 mg.(1)
This would seem to suggest that for use during a cycle, a dose of .5mgs/day would be sufficient to combat estrogen-related side effects. It is, however, important to remember that some estrogen is necessary to obtain optimal muscle growth. The lower estrogen levels provided by 'dex seems, anecdotally at least, to produce a more "hard" and "quality" look for bodybuilders who have experimented with it's use in either a cutting or bulking cycle.

I’d like to point out that the elevation in Testosterone provided by Arimidex is so large that it can be used as a “form” of testosterone replacement therapy for hypogonadal men (2). Clearly, this suggests its use in a post-cycle-therapy (as well as its previously discussed use within a cycle) to regain natural testosterone levels and full functioning of the HPTA (Hypothalamic-Testicular-Pituitary-Axis).
