Hello all!

[GhostOfRome]

New to the forums, hopefully I can bring some constructive feedback and gain good knowledge from those with more experience than I. A little background before I get started.

training on and off my whole life. 1 and a half years consistently with dialed in diet.

I am currently on week 18 of my Test E "cycle" I have no intentions on coming off, just going down to TRT dosages after another 2-3 months. I have low T, 200 on a cut and I took two months off lifting like an idiot for a doctor who was a quack. I gained 10 lbs and my test levels went up to a mere 348. yay.... All in all my life was shitty before getting on the sauce. Anxiety, fat, lethargic, no energy, I couldn't even get aroused looking at girls anymore. Was like wtf. Anyways my question is this, i've had blood down 5 times now. Yes I am very safe, if something went wrong I would come off, kidneys are fine, liver is better than before cycle. Seriously. Cholesterol is better, triglycerides are better, everything is better even my BP.

Now down to the nitty gritty. Somewhere along the line I lowered my dose of Aromasin , no idea why, One of my tests were 1388 test and 29 estradial. For some weird reason three weeks ago, I thought my estrogen was too low, so I lowered it to roughly 4-5mg and I am taking 500mg test E weekly. Started feeling tired a lot knew it was something wrong with the levels. Sure enough test levels were above 1500 (lapcorp won't go higher) and estradial was 71. So my question is this. I bumped back to 10-11mg a day, how long until it lowers it enough and kills off the bloat into normal ranges. I one need the bloat gone, two I want to recheck and make sure my levels are spot on. I don't want to get it rechecked until I know the levels are stable. Thank you very much for the replies

Welcome bro, are you running hcg ? I would run the aromasin at 12.5 Ed for a few weeks. It takes a week or 2 to build up in your system. Also did you check your lh levels ever?

No, no hcg . I was told long term some people have more harm than good on hcg. I may be wrong however, however my balls haven't shrank one bit. Kind of weird lol. Also no brother, sadly I had to go through the VA and they didn't test my LH levels ;/ wish they did though. I know they are like .1 now hahaha

Will do, now should I remain on the 12.5ed after the two weeks or drop back to say 10 ed.

The only way I see hcg causing harm is if you use massive amounts for long periods. Hcg maintains testicular function. So if you don't mind your testies being shut down no need for hcg but I kind of like the idea of just knowing they are still functioning.

I try :P it's a great place to learn. Defiantly saved me in the long run! You'll enjoy your stay

[Iron-56]

Should have done more research before hand. I would never run a cycle that long without HCG ! But yeah, start right away @500 iu every week (pin twice wee)

[GhostOfRome]

Yeah Iron I didn't know, I was told I didn't need it. Guess I was wrong.
