Hi guys wondering how long my e2 will be crashed first bloods getting sent off tomorrow at 8 weeks, my protocol is 125mg of enanthate every 5 days everything was going fine until about 4 weeks I got high e2 signs which was probably just a temporary fluctuation I reacted and took 0.25 mg of arimidex 4 weeks later still crashed which I find astonishing with such a low dose and only once I’m pretty lean but trts just dead in the water despite few injections after
What were the signs?
High e2 signs for me were facial bloating flushing ears and face and sensitive penis but I’ve had crashed e2 for 4 weeks now despite only taking 0.25mg of adex once my joints are still snapping cracking and aching
You are likely an AI over-responder and may never find a small enough dosage. You can lower estrogen much easier if you dosing more frequently, otherwise I expect this will not be the last time you crush your estrogen into oblivion.
Why don’t you get off this E2 roller coaster ride before you go down a path that leads to more suffering. Your estrogen may have recovered, you tissues are probably still in recovery mode.
I knocked my estrogen down to 7 pg/mL with only .125mg anastrozole.
Yes it’s always better to dose smaller in my opinion the bloods should tell me what’s cracking by midweek but if my estrogen had recovered but just not in my tissues would I not feel better mentally and libido wise also another question realistically how many times can you split half a ml/125mg if your injecting intramuscular I would think only once into 62.5mg since normal barrels are bigger than the sub q insulin pins
I’m a big fan of daily injections, I do very well on 7-10mg daily. My estrogen had never been lower on any protocol before it.
125 mg divided by 7 = 17.85 mg daily which is more than you’ll ever require.
Yes but I’m assuming you take your really small daily increments subq I’d imagine it would be impossible to do so intramuscular also one last thing and I know people will say read stickies chest folliculitis only on cycle/trt any wonder cures I can tame bacne with b5, zinc benzoyl peroxide but never figured out how to tame chest acne/folliculitis
It should go away on it’s own after a while, it is because of the change in hormones. You’ll need time to adjust to the new levels. Some guys need longer than others. The tiny AI dose you took kind of screws you up on that for a while. You are probably going to end up upping your dose slightly, or doing a little booster shot for one or two weeks to recover that E2 if it’s still low.
Just wondering if anyone can give me advice as to options for guys with continuously high shbg I hate sides from trt always get acne and folliculitis I’m hairy as hell and that gets worse but aside from boron, zinc, and vitamin d is there anything else I can do, drives me nuts that I have plenty of total testosterone but no free t makes no sense.

Been off trt for five months haven’t slept properly in those months joints will click 20 times a day every day strength is ridiculous and always knackered
How long were you on a stable dose?
I was only on for five months but I’ve cycled on and off testosterone sporadically since 2014 I guess each time I’m hoping I’ll avoid sides then I get fed up of the acne so come off, but it seems no matter how long I’m off I still feel like shit my main concern is my bones and joints since crashing estrogen in may there destroyed despite e2 recovery
