Is my gear underdosed?

Sounds about right for UGL test. Your estrogen is about 6 times what it should be so you may want to look into adding some Adex to your regimen. The recommended level for e2 is around 20 but there's a lot of debate about this...if you're not bloated or experiencing any gyno symptoms then the elevated estrogen can actually help you grow....just wanna make sure it's not TOO high cause too much e2 can be problematic.

Your body is aromatizing a lot of the test into estrogen so by adding an AI you'll prevent most of that conversion. However, IF you decide to take something to lower aromatization to estrogen then make sure to take something to block 5 alpha reductase (paw palmetto, DIM, finasteride) as well as that enzyme will convert test to DHT which is also problematic.

Started aromasin this week on Monday.. 12.5 mg e2d

I wanted to experiment and see how my body did with no AI, as this is my first cycle... didnt know I should take something to block 5 alpha reductase... will look into that... thanks

Only if you start having issues with acne. When your body suppresses estrogen conversion it will consequently increase DHT levels which causes issues in a lot of guys but you may be fine. Just mentioning it so you're aware of it. Most people are fine taking something natural like saw palmetto or DIM...Finasteride is a more potent med and I'd only recommend someone get on that if they're concerned with hair loss.

Got it.
I have been breaking out mildly on my back and shoulders. A little on my chest more recently. I noticed this from very early on in my cycle. I should also add that I am concerned with hair loss since my hair has thinned recently over the last few years and looking at my uncles it appears that MPB runs in the family. Would you recommend I look into Finasteride in this case?
Thanks for all your input, I'm pretty new at AAS so I'm trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible...
