Help with understanding Test levels (Sustanon)

[Jedi1337]

To cut a long story short, i did my first cycle earlier on ion the year. On this cycle i got ED which was quite frustrating.

The ED began to appear 6-7 weeks in, and from what ive been reading, this could be due to high estrogen. High estrogen is caused by the extra testosterone. But why didnt this symptom occur in week 1/2?

Im a novice with AAS, but i want to ask something about sustanon (the test that i took). As we know, this contains 4 different test esters which have various half-lives.

My thoughts are the following...

While the shorter esters of sust come and go in the body, the longer esters stick around and have a cumulative effect on blood test levels. Thus blood test levels would look something like the following graph (please ignore the legends... its just the line graph i am referring to). [Note: this graph would eventually flatten]. The ED i got might therefore have been dose-dependent as by 6-7 week the blood test levels would be far higher than in week 1-2.

Would it be a solution for me to try something like test cypionate or enanthate? I imagine the graph for these esters might look something like the following.

Am i barking up the right tree here?

Did you run an ai? If not thats your solution.

[Deal Me In]

ED can be caused by several things. If it's estrogen related then taking an AI will prevent this. Having blood work done halfway through the cycle will let you know if your estrogen is under control. If it isn't, then get it under control and see if the ED goes away. Until you understand what's causing the ED you are just guessing.

Your ED didn't occur in wks 1&2 simply because there was not enough exogenous testosterone in your system for it to occur.

And i completely agree with 2iron. Its externally important to properly control your estrogen levels for a host of reasons beyond ED. But ED is certainly one that will get your attention fast.
