Hello,
I have been doing a lot of research in my first cycle and wanted to see if i have missed anything.
week 1-12 500mg test E
week 2-12 .25mg Anastrozole (Adex,Arimidex)
week 15-18 Tamoxifen 20mg each day
Does this look okay or does anyone have any suggestions for me
Thank you
Don’t just add an AI randomly. You might not need any, you might need more… but just starting with it is BEGGING for issues that are super shitty.
Most won’t need any for that dose, and crashed estrogen auckkksssssss
Edit: I don’t PCT but I’m almost positive you need to read more into that.
Like @wanna_be mentioned, the ‘standard accepted’ PCT protocol is a bit different and is usually 2 weeks of 40mg/day followed by another 2 weeks of 20mg/day of Tamoxifen starting third week of last pin (which would be week 15 in your case). You could also do 6 weeks of 20mg/day.
Edit: as for the ai, I’d follow @wanna_be advice and implement it according to your needs and not just throw it in there. When your nips start getting itchy come week 2 or three, it doesn’t automatically mean you’re getting gyno. It’s probably your body adapting to the influx of exogenous hormones. Or you’re constantly obsessively pinching your nips and irritating them like most first timers usually do.
Thanks for the info
So keep the .25mg Anastrozole (Adex,Arimidex) on hand incase I start getting symptoms and only take when i have them. What is the main thing to look out for if i shouldn’t worry about itchy nips?
I’ll up my dose of Tamoxifen to 40mg for 2 weeks and 20mg for 2 weeks am i starting this 2 weeks after or 3 weeks after my last pin?
@wanna_be you say you don’t do a PCT any reason why? How do i know if i need a PCT or not?
thanks
I’d start pct 3 weeks after.
@wanna_be doesn’t PCT because he is on TRT. Same for myself.
Read up on high and low E2 symptoms. They can overlap, which can make things confusing. But if you’re on 500 mg test, and don’t start out with an AI, you can be sure that they are high E2 symptoms. Then just take tiny doses of AI until you don’t have symptoms. If I was getting them, 0.25 mg adex twice a week is probably what I’d start with.
thank you i will take this on board on my first cycle
one more question i have been tongkat ali for 2 weeks now when i start my cycle should i stop taking this or would it still be worth taking?
Hello, looking for a bit of advice I’m currently on week 4 of my cycle and this week I have noticed that my orgasms are weak and only cumming a small amount. Say two weeks ago it would be a lot more intense and like 5x the amount of fluid lol. Also my balls have definitely shrunk would this affect my issues. I’m Holding more water than normal so assuming my oestrogen is high but don’t have any nipple itch or pain in my chest. Still super horny and get random hard on all the time lol
Do you think it’s a good idea to start taking some anastozole?
I didn’t manage to get any at the start so will have to get some ASAP I know I probably cannot ask where the best place is but anyone in london or Kent area can source locally to save time. Pm me.
Any help is appreciated
