Feel like crap on TEST E

[Boxtrot]

got blood taken yesterday but wont get the results back till tuesday wednesday i just need to know if theres anything i can do until then been getting headaches an generally feel like shit. Im sure its my Estrogen i've been dosing arimidex at .25 EOD thinking about changing it to e3d till i get my results back as i dont wanna drop it completely incase my estro is actually high. Mainly because if it is high and i drop it making the levels become inconsistent has its own side effect.

I read boxas cycle log and he had exact some issue and he dropped it then only used it e3d when his nipples were sensitive i havent had any sensitivity and no erection problems, libido seems fine.

Im 4 days into week 6 of 10. only starded happening 3 days after i felt it 'kick in' at exactly end of week 4.

What panels did you pull?

What panels did you pull?

estradiol, LH, testosterone.

I just remember reading that on the form i gave to the nurse i cant remember what else there was a few.

Alright. Always get a CBC panel, which would be a good tool for diagnosing headaches.

The few days while you wait for blood work are not worth changing your dose. Take a baby aspirin every day and keep us posted when you get your blood work.

Ok well i took .5mg instead of .25 yesterday and no headache today but still dont feel great. Been taking a baby aspirin since the start. ill continue with .25 though i think also over training a bit and the sun came out finally now its 3 months that was when the headaches started also, monday/tuesday/wednesday and i didnt wear a hat, now its thursday no sun and no headache.

Hmm im starting to sound like a hyperchondriact lol

Ill remember the CBC for next time.

If you are going to wait till next time for you CBC then go donate a pint of blood and see if you feel any better. It might just work wonders.

I got too much sun last week and it really effected me, two days of headaches from the two days I was in the sun and overall feeling terrible. Hopefully the e2 info will help you out and also paint a picture on your ai dosage for the future as well.

Also donating blood helps me out, but I don't develop problems in just 6 weeks it takes longer, I can even miss a blood donation and be fine for a while. CBC is usually cheap though if you are already doing bloods why not.

Yeh its hard to figure out whats really causing a problem when theres a combination of things happening. But yeh like black top pete says giving blood may just have the right effect. CBC is free for me.

I think when you go to give blood they will do a finger stick before to check your hemaglobin levels.. and that will tell ya how hi your RBC may have gotten.

i learned for me i can't take iron with test or my blood count skyrockets fast!

does anyone know what is really a safe "high " level for female? as far as HCT? i know alot of guys seem to have to h ave blood taken when they hit 50%. what about girls? thanks

I didnt have a cbc before my cycle to compare it to though, they took the blood today though so alls well.

You might be able to google that although its not always a surefire way to gain info.
