How to use Aromasin to properly lower e2???????

[CrusherCurtis]

Experienced aas user. First time on dht derived compounds, thought I wouldn't need an estrogen inhibitor because of research I found showing that mast and proviron compete with e2 receptors yada yada yada. That was wrong. Lost libido, got bloods, E2 was high. I have tons of aromasin and Letro on hand (possible adex gotta look). I Started taking 25mg of aromasin a day, I assumed that at some point my libido would return indicating indicating E2 was at a good range and I would titrate the aromasin dosage at that point. After 4 days and 100mg of aromasin later, no return of libido was noted. I'm wondering if I over shot it and crashed E2.


Questions:
1. With E2 of 94.3 pg/ml would 100mg of Aromasin crash my e2?
2. Whats the best way to go about handling this? Won't be getting bloods until monday and even then I probably won't have results until Thursday or even later sometimes. I feel the same and have no idea if my E2 is low or high. How do I proceed in the meantime? Continue aromasin? or up hcg for a little extra e2?

25 mg aromasin ED is overkill imho.
It is a suicidal inhibitor which means it kills your aromatase enzyme rather than rendering it ineffective temporarily.
I would do 12.5 mg EOD or E3D and repeat the bloodwork. By the way, stop taking aromasin for a while so your body can make new enzymes.
You are a heavy aromatizer just like me I guess, 280 mg of test is not too much for most guys and they can even do higher doses of test without an AI. However, that’s not the case for me.

I don't think your E is even that high. all I see is positive benefits from it being at that level when on cycle.

but anyhow, two possible other ways at dealing with this rather then throwing more AI's at the issue (AI's have their own problem)

is 1 - don't run much Test, run like 100mg a week, and run a much higher dosage of your Anabolics that don't aromatize. problem solved

and 2 - run a low dose of a SERM like Nolva (less sides then AI's). that way your blood serum levels of E can be elevated and you can get all the benefits that come from that (like increase HDL, increase HGH and IGF production, increase Nitric Oxide, etc..), but you blunt (selectively) some of the E at receptor sites (like in breast tissue)


if your a heavy aromatizes there are other methods and options out there besides pricey AI's


side note- last time I got my E checked when on cycle (years ago) my E was in like the upper 200s . felt great.. no concerns. it was supposed to be elevated because I was on cycle and thats sometimes the point of being on cycle (elevated hormones and androgens). now if your on TRT and off cycle all year and your E is off the charts, thats a totally different subject

How long can you safely run tamoxifen for? I am very curious about that.

How long can you safely run tamoxifen for? I am very curious about that.

its been used for female cancer patients for 5+ years safely with limited negative effects .. they however only use AI's for short term use. (that should tell us something) . guys on the other hand are using AI's for a decade straight between TRT and their cycles , yet never even bother to think of Tamoxifen

I've heard there is some research thats being done and a book going to be coming out on the dangers of long term AI use for men on TRT

I have seen an anecdotal evidence on Reddit. Some guy used AIs for long time (years I mean) and got a dexa scan to assess his bone density. The results were in the low end.
Also, I have seen some studies state that long time tamoxifen use leads to steatohepatitis (fatty liver) and some liver issues. Raloxifene seems safer in this manner.

in either case, I recommend cycling . times on when needed and times off. for what our purposes are I can't really see any situation where long term use of either of these would be needed.
heck I even cycle basics sups like vitamin c . and as most you guys know, with AAS usage I'm often times rotating and cycling compounds as well
