Hey everyone, I recently began test e at 500mg per week. I felt symptoms of low estro (no sex drive, hot flashes, sweating, depressed, no "superman feeling") and got a blood test done at week 3. My test came back at 3380 (wow!) and estradiol at <15.
- I crashed it on July 29th give or take a few days.
- I have taken no AI since July 31st
- Blood test was done on August 6th and estradiol was <15.
No more hot flashes, irritation, strength has gone up, I'm gaining weight now (gained a lb since 2 days). My sex drive has gone almost back to normal from before cycling.
My question is this. I'm worried that I have gained no weight (0 pounds) since I began and I'm in week 5. Strength has gone up but 0 weight gain. I assume it's because I had no water weight form having low estro but I don't want the low estro to hinder my gains and I don't know when it'll go back to normal seeing as it's been 2 1/2 weeks already. Should I take 15mg dbol for a few days to bring it up? I know dbol converts to methylestradiol.
I crashed my estro using aromasin which I know destroys the aromatase enzyme so my test won't be converted to estrogen. But does dbol convert to methylestradiol via the same manner? Because if dbol needs the enzyme to convert and there's no enzyme, then there'd be no point I assume.
Any input?
