Hi, I'm having a problem with estrogen related side effects. First off this is my 3rd cycle, however I'm only doing Test E at 250mg/week. I planned to run it for about 20 weeks (I'm 5 weeks in). Height is 5'10 and weight 185lbs.
The problem is I can't discern the difference between high or low estrogen this time around. All signs point at high estrogen (I'm pissing way less water than I'm drinking and I feel somewhat bloated). So I upped my Arimidex from 0.25mg to 0.5mg and took it on Tuesday then again Thursday last week. Nothing has changed - I have no libido, I'm tired constantly and I dread going to the gym - which in my (limited) experience means low estrogen. Also this is probably irrelevant given that I'm only on it 5 weeks but my balls haven't shrunk noticeably or at all whereas with high estrogen they should shrink a lot.
I know the standard procedure here is to get a blood test done but it's not that easy in my country so I usually 'save' that for during my PCT stage of a cycle and see if my levels have recovered to an acceptable range (which they have each time).
I'm going to go a week with no AI to see if it get's better and if it doesn't I'm going to stop the cycle and begin PCT with clomid/nolva 2 weeks later. I'm also thinking of getting HGH though I do not have that on hand.
