Hey there,
I'm taking 6mg of Exemestane every day, prescribed by doctor, due to my high level of Estrogen (~50), which gave me low libido. It's not caused by steroids, I'm natural. Now with this protocol I am constantly maintaining good Estrogen levels of 20-25. A pretty nice side effect is that my free testosterone (reference 8-27) went from 18 up to 43 (!). Since Exemestane is known for decreasing SHBG, I assume this is not surprising. This significant difference has to be attributed to taking Exemestane, since I had 3x bloodwork done during 2 years prior to taking Exemestane and my hormone levels stayed very stable. Also total testosterone went from 4,4 to 5,9.
Now my question is: I wonder if this (double!) increase of free testosterone does have a longterm positive effect on my ability to build muscle. To me it seems a logic consequence.
Thanks for your thoughts!
