Time to lower estrogen

[Ccdiesel]

Guys my bloodwork at only 120mg test a week came back at above 1500 and estrogen at 57.

Any recommendation on how to quickly drop estrogen levels that are killing my libido and causing ed? I have aromasin on hand. Not sure how fast ai's will lower estrogen. I'm guessing time is really what's needed.

Being in a new relationship time is not my friend right now haha.

Yes...drop your dose ! Seriously.

What about a fast way to drop e2? Back to a manageable level

Well an AI would quickly drop it, but you're not crazy high on E2. Sensitive or regular E2 test? When was blood drawn in relation to the last test shot? Once or twice weekly shots? You need to drop your dose anyways & prolly try 100mgs a week...your E2 will come down in the mean time & then you can get blood checked again in a month. Keep it simple & try (if at all possible) to let your E2 be managed by the amount of test you use rather than trying to control it with an AI. Just my 2 cents.

I was thinking dose aromasin 50mg once, and 25mg the following two days and let the smaller dosing protocol settle. I dose 60mg twice a week, so I'll drop to at least 100mg per week. I'm more concerned with short term estrogen problems. Ai's work but take time to actually drop e2 for me

This is probably your best option. You don't need a T level that high. Why get on an ai if this option works?

Agree. Your E will drop and your little general will rise more willingly to the occasion in no time.

Skip an injection then go down to 50mg twice a week. . . If you really wanted you could take 25mg pill for 1 or 2 days to get it down quick

[Ccdiesel]

Thanks for the input. The Ed is killing me right now so I definitely need to get it down quick, and the fact that I take deca 60mgs with test is likely making ED worse than what just trt would cause. Yes I agree skipping an injection and lowering the dose to 40 or 50mg twice weekly.

So for the short term to get it down quick and get rid of Ed(my main concern) what is recommended? Will a couple days of 50mgs take me down within a few days??

I took 50mgs aromasin yesterday, I did do one more injection at 60mgs after giving my blood sample (did not think I was going to come back high after lowering the dose again). Any input? Thanks guys

Does your bw show prolactin? With deca and slightly high e2 your prolactin might be contributing to the problem. I would get some cabergoline for that.

No but estrogen levels would control prolactin. Either way e2 management is the long term issue. I'm worried about short term(the next few days) and if I can get e2 levels down enough to lose the ED.

I'd drop the deca. It helps with joint pain, but it kills my sex life after a while even at low doses. It does that even when I take aromasin and caber to keep estradiol and prolactin at the right levels.

If your issue is just related to estrogen, you should already be good to go with the aromasin dose you took earlier. Add cialis just to be safe. If it's related to long term deca use, it might take longer to get back to normal. Maybe weeks or months after you stop depending on how long you've been on it.

Kel is on the same protocol essentially. I'm on my 12th week and just started having issues. So you are saying I can't control deca sides at this low of a dose? And aromasin will not help my ed?

Kel any input? Is this just because I let estrogen get to high? Or is deca causing my issues now?

[Ccdiesel]

And I'm on low dose cialis. Not even helping

[Ccdiesel]

Definitely will need Kel's input on this. The thought of these issues and having to take so long to get off deca makes me nauseous. Not good timing for a relationship...

Any short term suggestions to correct what's going on would be appreciated. Thanks guys
