Going into my "trt" mini cycle + another compond

Pharma
1

So I have two other topics here, where i started 300 mg of test e a week and later tested trt doses 50mg - 100mg a week.
I have learned a bit about my body during these 2 years, but one thing that I have learned is that, when I dont do test i just feel shit, i dont sleep, i have no motivation and i am moody.
Why I know that ? Because i have come off " cycle / trt " twice now. Right now I am on hcg only. I feel OK but nothing special, feels like just being, no big motivation etc.
Problems that i had:

  1. HCT / HB over normal
  2. Prolactin over normal ( but sometimes doing blood tests it was within normal range )
  3. E2, but second time i did not use any AI during my 300mg test e week cycle and felt OK, aside some random acne breakout on my back during 14-16 week.
  4. Blood pressure was high during day, but as I rested ( Morning and evening, its was ok ) .

So, to battle issues I had:

  1. I bought HCT HB home meter, so I dont have to give blood every time I need to know my results ( right now I have 46%hct and 156HB )
  2. Prolactin ( Seems that it rises with E2 for me, If E2 goes too high even tho i dont feels any sides, prolactin also rises )
    My tought was to add another compound like Primo or Masteron, so that i should not use AI.
    3.As for my blood pressure, it seems that whenever is my HCT high ( Europe normal high is 49% , USA normal high is 54 %, i had 52% ), mine blood pressure is higher.
    To combat that : Alots cardio, water and blood donations. As I have now hb and hct home tester, i would like to see how much cardio and water intake impact that.

I have also question. As I am researching primo and mast and thinking of adding this to my routine, what would be the best or good staring point for test and other comp ? I would like to lower my test to 200-250mg week and add some of above.
So far I have not had any baldness issues, but as i understand, if I see hair dropping out, I can quit another comp and sides should dissapear quite fast.

Masteron can be very similar to primo from a muscle gain perspective. In fact, masteron might also dry you up more than primo because it can decrease the conversion of testosterone into estrogen, which will lower water retention (which you may or may not want).

One potential issue, especially with a fairly low dose of testosterone, is that the masteron could lower estrogen too much. This can increase the risks of cardiovascular problems (estrogen is cardio-protective), a drop in libido and even in muscle growth via a lower IGF-1 level.

I’d say that at a dose of 250mg or less, primo would probably be a better choice and masteron would be more indicated for higher doses of testosterone, or if you have an excessively elevated estrogen level.

I’ve seen you mention in several of your posts about masteron that it actually decreases estrogen. From what I read in other people’s posts is that masteron doesn’t actually decrease estrogen but rather decreases high estrogen symptoms. I don’t know what the actual fact is, just that I haven’t been able to find an actual study showing either claims to be correct. Can you point me in the right direction?

Drostanolone/masteron indeed blocks the action of estrogen at the receptor, acting like a SERM (clomid or nolvadex). Which is why it was once used as a treatment for breast cancer.

As for reducing testosterone to estrogen conversion, I will say that it is anecdotal (no specific research that I can find) and, according to my friend Broderick Chavez, it affects mostly lean individuals (who likely have lowe aromatase activity to start with).

But my global point is simply that masteron decreases estrogen’s effect. Likely through a combination of both actions, at least in lean individuals.
