AI's and sex drive?

[NewbFromCali]

Started my test e two sundays ago @ 250 eSunday. Just for the first two weeks. But I'm 9 days in. I also started aromasin @ 12.5 eod. Is it possible that the aromasin is kicking in faster than the test and affecting my sex drive a little? E edgy ing still works, I'm just less likely to initiate. And yes, she's hot.

It was supposed to say everything still works.
And the test and exemestane were both started 9 days ago

So you are running test e at 250 per week every Sunday? You may not even need an AI at that low of a dose. Yes the AI works faster.

That's a very low dose, some people get 200mg/week as HRT treatment. As for your question, yes the AI will work much quicker. You may have knocked out your estrogen, which is causing a lowered libido. As stated, you probably wont even NEED an AI, considering the dose. Do you have issues with gyno already?

[NewbFromCali]

I apologize for not going further into it. I have had gyno. And surgery. In week three, I'm going up to 500. It'll actually be 460-something because I'll pin every 4 days.

I see. Normally, you would begin to see stable levels in your blood around week 4, but with the weird dosing you are going by (250 for 2 weeks, then ramping it up...) I'm not sure. Either way, it should work itself out within the next few weeks, it just wasn't the optimal way to do it.

[NewbFromCali]

Well maybe I'll just pin Wednesday and cut the ramp time. I thought ramping up was a good idea with gyno history and whatnot.

[Fetch]

I would wait for more advice, as I don't have enough experience with gyno to say whether you are supposed to ramp or not..

Why didn't you just run 500 from the beginning, them start the AI at week 3 or if gyro symptoms start? Heck some people even front load the long esthers and just use an AI if they develop gyro symptoms.

Lol.. he hasn't quite developed Tzatziki yet, but the Pita around the ears is a dead giveaway.

why you ramping the dose? just start at 500mg. im gyno prone and 250mg pw doesnt give me any symptoms, id guess you've lowered your estro too much with the masin and prob dont even need it at that test dose

[NewbFromCali]

So stick today?

[NewbFromCali]

Should I stick today AND quit the AI or stick and continue or what?

go to the usual 500mg split x2 pw injection protocol and wait and see if you get itchy nips, THEN start using an AI, you wont get lumps overnight

Roger dodger. I'll give it a shot.
