You’re nuking your estro man, I’d cut that asin dose in half. Low estro for me results in me being emotionless/not caring about sex.

I only have the 12.5 in capsules… just take one a week?

Yea man without even looking at your bloods I can tell you 25mg asin is too much for 600 test.

EDIT: Your post says it’s clearly not your first cycle. Have you ever run test without AI? With test running that low (600mg/wk) there’s a good chance you wont even need to manage your estro, and taking anything could be killing any anabolism you’re trying to obtain. I don’t need anything if I’m on just test and less than about 800mg a week. I don’t aromatize as much as most other people tho.

I’d stop it entirely for a few weeks and see how you feel. If your nips get itchy and shit then try a 12.5mg dose on pin days.

Otherwise you may need to switch to a milder AI.

EDIT #2 - another good idea might be Proviron (if you’re not worried about hair). It has a mild anti-estrogen effect in that it helps prevent it from forming, it also binds to SHBG causing more free test to be available, and it ups your libido. Just a thought.

HOLY FRICKIN SHIT

56.1 HCT

i seriously hope youve donated blood

cant get hard if your blood is literally sludge

U need to donate blood to get those high HTC n HMG levels down. These being elevated can cause high blood pressure which can have a negative impact on erection strength. Which in turn is mentally compounding the issue decreasing ur drive…performance anxiety kind of situation.

First time I got blood I was at like 72. I’m not exaggerating. Could still get hard no problem.

This. Undoubtedly the dude needs to let some blood off but it shouldn’t impact his boners. Even if it did that shouldn’t completely shut down his drive.

Holy shit dude. How long did it take you to get it down? Did you have any symptoms or stroke out?

My most recent BW said I was at 57 with a host of other problems that I already knew about and have been working on fixing. I personally do not believe 50ish HCT is going to effect getting hard in any way (well it doesn’t for me anyway). That being said, go give blood to be on the safe side, or punch yourself in the nose so it can bleed for a little bit.

At 72 I’d imagine your blood was as thick as pancake batter. You’re asking for a stroke man.

Heart palpitations during sex. I actually had been on for a bit and just thought 'hmm I should probably start donating blood" so I went and they pricked my finger and told me it was at that.

I started taking a baby aspirin twice a day, lisinopril. I low-dose cruised for like 4 months after that reading and was basically fine. I didn’t do any blood work during that time. Didn’t stroke out. Actually I use to get these instantaneous, skull splitting headaches sometimes during sex and like while bench pressing. This was BEFORE I was measured that high. I would’ve thought it would get worse but I haven’t had one in years now.

Also, from that donation they told me I had Hepatitis C. Got retested at a doc and I do not. But I can’t donate anymore because of their false positive… so that’s cool…

Low E2. I was taking 12.5 mg ED for 2 weeks and started losing my hard ons. 12.5 EOD for me.

Yeah let me get those labs from a couple years ago. Call bullshit all you want dude.

Edit:
Pulled up labs but unfortunately HCT isn’t listed, they just told me the number after pricking my finger, the rest of the results are here:

• Edit: Did a little bit of reading and it says being dehydrated can cause false high readings? I don’t feel like I was dehydrated though as I generally pound water. I’m not just saying a high number to say a high number dude, that’s what I was told.

Low estrogen is always the culprit for low sex drive/boners in my experience with AAS. The more days I go without AI the better I feel and the hornier I get. (As long as I’m not on a shiton of aromotizing compounds which I never take anyway)
