    Estrogen is too high after PCT

    After finishing PCT...doing HCG and Nolvadex ....my estrogen is still too high. What is the best plan of attack. I had a blood test today, but haven't received the results yet.

    How do you know your estrogen is still high? What exactly was your pct you ran?

    I'm just noticing I'm looking puffy and bloated, not losing weight...just don't feel right.
    I got my blood work done today so should get the results soon.
    I did 12wks of Test/Winstrol ...started to do PCT with Clomid and Nolvadex for 3wks, then I was going to do another show, so I started up again doing a blend of Test Prop/Tren /Masteron , then once that was finished I switched to Tren Acetate and Test Prop....that cycle was only about 6-8wks....after which I was stuck without a connection for PCT....had no other AAS left, so literally I was stuck for several weeks without anything, then tried almost a month of peptide versions of Clomid and Nolvadex but that did nothing, then off a few more weeks with nothing, then had a connection for one bottle of HCG and 10 days of Clomid.
    After that I still didn't feel right....so found another connection for 2 btls of HCG and 2 wks of Nolvadex. Since that I haven't done anything. It's been about 6 wks now.
    I still don't feel right... I know it was a constant up and down and my body is totally out of whack.

    Would taking something like an AI such as Arimidex or Letro work? Or would taking another round of Clomid/Nolvadex work?
    I don't think its a matter of my natural test starting back up, I think its more an increase of Estrogen for some reason. If any of that makes sense?

    Your body has got to be in total chaos. Wait until you get BW in hand, post it here and let us take a look before you try something else.

    Stay mentally focused, train and eat right it's very important right now. Focus on the compound movements in the gym, get in and out in 39-45 minutes max

    What was the length between all 3 cycles listed in your original post?
    Post your BW when they arrive.
    You might have to be placed on a longer PCT

    First cycle there was maybe 3-4 weeks, then after the second cycle it was cut short due to lack of supply, then a few weeks without anything, then back on....

    Yes I ran HCG twice...first time I did it for like 2wks along with Clomid for about 10 days....don't think it was long enough though...then like 2 months later did it again for about a month along with Nolvadex .

    For some reason, I still don't feel right

    Your going to have to give your body some time to recover now. You have run hcg during your pct which is going to elevate estrogen levels and keep lh suppressed. Giving your self time to recover with follow up lab work is going to give you the info needed to move forward. Moving forward hcg is better used during your cycle to maintain testicular function and serms only for pct. Using an ai during your cycle as well will keep circulating estrogen lower

    So if more than likely my estrogen is in fact too high...what would be the right protocol? Nolvadex and Clomid? Or something like Arimidex ?

    only if you are on cycle. After you have ended your cycle and your estrogen is in check you need to let your body balance out

    So being off cycle, if my estrogen is still out of whack...there's nothing I can do?

    no there are options such as an AI but most the time off cycle if your estrogen is high it's either because the body hasn't had sufficient time to recover or that estrogen was not managed during your cycle. Once testosterone levels drop estrogen levels will drop as well because there is not the circulating testosterone to aromatize anymore

    So what is best to do typically in that situation? Would getting something like Dim help? Or do I just wait it out?

    During my cycles I never took an AI or HCG ...

    You need to give your body some time. Your estrogen was probably high coming of cycle and then you t levels dropped. How long ago did you run labs?

    i am saying if you are not happy with the labs you recently ran I would give your body more time and run labs again before attempting to add meds. Hopefully your e has dropped down

    I'll find out in a week. Hard to tell, I know due to holiday eating I'm bloated lol
    But I'm starting my prep for a show too...so hopefully I'm good to go. If I do anything further a long in my prep I'll probably just do Winstrol /Anavar ...then pct with Clomid and Nolvadex . But for right now just want to make sure I'm even able to loose weight. I know if my hormones are out of whack it'll make it difficult

    Do I need to do Test? I saw on this site an "oral cycle" and it just included Winstrol /Anavar and Clomid/Nolvadex as PCT

    any cycle run needs to have test as a base or you will end up with symptoms of low t.

    I'd worry about getting yourself straightened out first, not about a show. Your health is more important. There's always another show.

    I agree! That's why I'm just letting this take its course...if I'm ready in time for March, great, if not...then like you said there are always more shows.

    Were you able to get yourself sorted out? I am having similar problems. Low T and high Est. Just got my bloodwork back and they are similar to the ones you posted. I'm thinking of going on some Anastrozole. What worked for you?

    cheers
