What makes you say that?
Doctors here seem to be quite pro Nebido but I don’t feel comfortable with such a long Ester
I notice that my weight fluctuates a lot throughout the week and see a pattern that it goes up and I lose my abs Wednesday then tends to even out by the end of the weekend even though I keep my calories the same.
Could this be to do with my injection protocol and raised estrogen? I inject Wednesday’s and Sunday’s so there’s a slight variance in time between injections which could be a factor?
Only other pattern that I can think of is Tuesday is my day off from training.
Any ideas on what could cause this would be appreciated as it can make sticking to one goal (bulking or cutting) as half the week I look decent then the other half I’m holding a load of water/fat.
Thanks
Arimidex Update
I now have Arimidex in 1 mg tablets which I’ve been splitting with a knife to give me roughly 2 0.5 mg doses per week on my injection days (Sunday & Wednesday).
I’ve now taken 3 doses and am due another tomorrow.
I think I’m feeling some benefits but not as I hoped/expected.
Am feeling like I’m slightly less on edge, easier to deal with stress, maybe feeling a bit more energised.
Have definitely noticed I’m waking up in the night with erections more often but wouldn’t say my libido is good.
Water retention still seems to be a problem but am unsure whether that’s related to E?
Would you suggest upping the dose slightly? Possibly to 0.5mg every 3 days or will the Arimidex take more time to reduce E?
Thanks
Most recent visit to my consultant has resulted in more in depth testing for thyroid function. I haven’t received the exact numbers yet but have been instructed to increase Levothyroxine dosage from 100mg to 150mg per day due to low T3 / T4.
Consultant noted that TSh has always tested ok so doesn’t provide much to go by.
Most recent Testosterone levels were 24.4 nmol (10-30 range)
Oestradiol has reduced to 114 pmol since dosing Adex at 0.5 mg every 3rd day.
Would you suggest increasing the Adex dosage?
Feel I have made improvement recently but still not where I want to be .
You want to get near E2=22pg/ml - 80pmol/L
Increase dose by a factor or 114/80
You can dissolve anastrozole in vodka 1mg/ml then dispense by volume 0.72ml at time of injections.
Because of half-life, it take 5-6 days for a dose change to reach final levels in your blood. Do not make dose changes based on short term feelings.
All T-esters have the ester groups removed yielding bio-identical testosterone. But longer esters weigh more and yield less T. 250mg/week should yield a lot of T and thus more anastrozole is needed. With that T product, a constant dose may involve T levels that increase over a few weeks.
Thanks KSMan.
My Adex is in pill form and am not sure it would split any smaller than halves without crumbling into small pieces.
Can the pill form still be dissolved in vodka?
My current protocol has me injecting half my weekly Sustanon dose on Wednesday and half on Sunday.
I dose my Adex 0.5mg every 3rd day rather than scheduled days each week, as below. This averages out as 5mg of Adex over a 30 day month.
Monday – 0
Tuesday – 0.5mg
Wednesday – 0
Thursday – 0
Friday – 0.5mg
Saturday – 0
Sunday – 0
Monday – 0.5mg
If I were to switch to 1mg every injection day, I’d average 8mg per 30 day month. Would this be a suitable protocol? I’d prefer not to have to dissolve in vodka if similar results can be obtained.
What’s your latest blood work on sustanon 250 twice a week?
