back in august i was running 450 test once a week and taking 12.5mg of aromasin with it and my estrogen came back at 104 on 8/8. so i figured i'd dial it back and dropped to 250 test a week and stopped the aromasin entirely but then on 9/12 my levels actually went up to 128... which really stressed me out honestly
so then i started pinning the 250 twice a week instead and went hard on the aromasin- like 25mg three times a week. well i just got my results on 10/12 and now my estrogen is sitting at a 10. i knew it was gonna go down but i didnt think i was gonna tank it that bad. last sunday i also added in 100mg of eq a week split into two doses and now im obviously gonna cut back way back on the aromasin
the real question is how much aromasin should i actually drop now that im running a bit of eq too? clearly that 75mg a week was way overkill. whatever i decide to do im gonna go get tested again on 10/30 but i could really use some input on where to set the dose at for now
damn that’s a wild rollercoaster with your E2, no wonder it stressed you out lol
25mg EOD plus three times a week sounds brutal, tanking it to 10 makes total sense
adding EQ definitely changes the aromasin needs, usually less is more once you’re on another compound that’s mildly estrogenic
i’d prob drop it back significantly, maybe just a few mg a few times a week and then tweak based on your next labs
splitting test twice a week helps smooth everything out, that was a good move
honestly just take it slow with the aromasin until you see 10/30 labs, jumping around too much can cause the swings you already saw
man 75mg a week of aromasin is a massive dose for 250 test lol no wonder u crashed it. at 10 u probably feel like a zombie and your joints probably sound like a bag of chips. drop it completely for at least a week to let it bounce back then maybe just do 6.25mg or 12.5mg once a week and see how u feel
eq is famous for acting like an ai for a lot of guys so adding that while your already going ham on aromasin was the perfect storm. i’d honestly stay off the ai entirely for a bit because 250 test is a pretty low dose and the eq might handle the estrogen for u on its own
i feel your pain on the testing stress but try not to overcorrect so hard next time. jumping from zero to 75mg is a wild swing lol. just take a breather and let your body reset- you'll feel way better once that e2 gets back into the 20s or 30s
honestly i’d just stop the aromasin until your next test on 10/30. with only 250 test and some eq in there u might not even need an ai at all. if u start getting spicy nips just take a tiny dose but dont make it a regular thing yet
25mg three times a week is what people run on like a gram of test haha. seriously though just listen to your body and stop the ai for now. the joint pain and low libido from crashed e2 is way worse than being a little bit bloated in my experience
eq at 100mg is low but it still has an effect on estrogen for most people. if i were u id just ride it out with zero ai until u get those labs back. u gotta find your "cruising altitude" before u start messing with the dials again
how do u even feel right now with an e2 of 10?? i bet your mood is in the gutter. eat some soy or just wait it out and let the aromatization do its thing. definitely dont touch the aromasin for a while
aromasin is a suicide inhibitor too so once u kill those enzymes u gotta wait for your body to make new ones. it takes a bit longer to recover than arimidex- give yourself some grace and just stick to the pins for now
