Aromatization Question

Pharma
1

I just ended a short (8 week) cycle of test prop & proviron. I ran the prop @ 100mg eod, and proviron 50mg ed, basically a low dose to kind of see how my body handles it. I have ran test before in the past, about 10 years ago in college. When I started the cycle, I ran arimidex @ .25mg e3d, starting around the 3rd shot.

This completely killed my sex drive & erections, so I jumped off it for the rest of the cycle. The rest of the cycle was great, and ended up running nolvadex for pct.

Here I am about a month later, and I’m ready for another go. My question is about aromatization. It seems my body was OK with just the test prop and proviron, I had no signs or symptoms that needed me to jump back on the a-dex. With regard to aromatization, is prop a better choice than the longer esters, or does that not even matter?

I did not mind pinning so often, and really liked the fact that it hit me so quickly. I still have the adex on hand, and am thinking about going 150mg eod or 100mg ed this time around. Baby steps :slight_smile:

The ester won’t matter in regards to aromatization, the only difference as you’ve noticed is how quickly is gets to work, once its working and your blood levels are stable, test is test.

That being said, when it comes to arimidex or AI in general, too little estrogen can dampen your libido in the same manner as too much can. Its important to use an AI in the presence of aromatizable steroids because of the threat high estrogen presents to the male liver. You just have to find that comfortable dose. .25mg e3d actually seems a fairly low dose to me.

Also, it takes around a week of use for adex levels to stabilize.
