HRT and anti-estrogens

[sf77777]

I'm in my 50's and have done cycles of test and deca (about 400 & 200 / wk for 10 weeks) twice over the last 18 months. I liked the results, but didn't like the time after (low energy, sex drive etc.). I'm thinking of just during HRT year round. A couple of questions - do most do 100mg of test per week or do some do 200 (i'm 6'4" with good good amt of muscle mass)? Also, my docter has deca too which seemed to help joint pain. Do any of you take small doses of deca too like 50mg / wk? I was thinking of 150mg test and 50mg deca / wk or is so little deca useless? Finally, do most take anti-estogens along with your test (like .5mg arimidex EOD)? Thanks.

Mate I am in the same boat as you, I am 51 and am in the middle of my third cycle. I have been cruising for about a year now. I do 100mg Test E a week between cycles. I monitor the estrogens with blood tests every couple of months an so far I havnt needed anti-e's unless I am on cycle. I dont know of anyone doing small doses of Deca , I certainly havnt but its an interesting idea. They key to HRT is blood tests so that you know the doses of Test that you are taking are adequate to do the job. Have you thought about HGH ? At our age its Gold !!!

Tried HGH for 4 weeks, no results and daily shots were a hassle.

Well you need to take it for six months at a time. How much were you taking and how were you taking it. Was it real ? There are a lot of fakes out there

[sf77777]

It was real - .8mg or 2.4 iu's I think

bump - anyone about the anti-E and HRT?

If you get blood work done and I assume you do. Then you will know how much of Arimidex to take. I personally take 1 mg per day. It is a scientific thing; you want estrogen but not to much.

How come you gave up on GH. First month wont do anything. After a few months WOW. Nothing wrong with 150mg test weekly. I augment mine with
a few extras. Hope you are going to give this more than a month.

The doctors that I have talked to have recommended taking 0.5 mg of arimidex EOD during the cycle. They said that this should be adequate.

However, it the blood tests reveal that it is not adequate they will either bump it up to 0.5 mg ED or 1mg EOD.

They also recommended keeping some nolva on hand for emergency use and only to take it in the event that you feel the onset of gyno.

What do you mean "during the cycle"? I thought HRT was full time.

Sorry. It would be full time for someone like you who is in their 50s and is probably done with having children.

However, I am only 30 years old so they would cycle it for me to prevent me from shutting down completely. With younger guys they do cycling rather than having them take it full time so that they can still have children in the future.

It guess I am in about week 6. Started at 200 test-e, now up to 300 ew. I take .5mg anastrozole ED, 500iu HCG 5/2, 2iu HGH 5/2, 50g script DHEA and 50g pregnenalone ed.

I am also 6'4", about 235 with only around 12% bodyfat. I am on a self-administered TRT.

I take 250 mg week test - 100 mg week deca (joints feel great while on !) and I do take anti-e's. I take 20 mg day of nolva and .25 day of arimidex .

I am very prone to bloat and gyno from test and that is why I take anti-e's.

Deca help us my joints. You sound like your on a similiar program as mine. The TRT +. If you can affored GH toss it in the shopping cart. It does wonders for older folks.

whats HRT and whats the difference between HRT and HGH?

[Ufa]

HRT is (hormone replacement therapy) HCG is component of post cycle therapy . You can hit the search button then advance and type in key words
get a whole lot of info with out waiting.

[vermin]

HGH is Human Growth Hormone .

I think you were asking about a cycle in another thread. If you need to ask that you are at least 2 years away from thinking about the stuff discussed here.

[toofatbuilder]

yes, that was me in the other thread. i know what hgh is. i was just wondering what the difference is. i dont plan on using hgh until im maybe around 40... im 22 now.
