How can I get ideal e2 with current protocol?

[johndoe24]

Just got labs back… been running just 250 mg test c per week the last 6 weeks while cutting. My test level is 1600 and for the first time I got the ultrasensitive estradiol test and my estrogen is 16 on a healthy range of 0-29
I have been taking aromasin 12.5 mg on pin days( Monday and Thursday) do you guys think this estrogen level is ideal or should I switch up my aromasin dosage a little to get it in the 20s?
Comment what you think best aromasin dosage would be.

How do you feel? Don’t chase a certain e2 number unless you’re feeling symptoms. If you feel like making a change, then I would switch to taking the Aromasin 1x a week and see how that treats you

Ya that’s I what I was thinking. Just take it mondays instead of mon/Thur. Just wanted a second opinion from some other guys who know there shit.

Appreciate the reply bro!

Some guys like it in the teens, some guys like it in the 20’s. If you feel perfectly fine then stay where you’re at. If you want to cut your AI usage and go to one dose a week, do it. It will take 2-3 weeks to get normalized at a higher value so really you won’t know for about a month if you’re feeling better, worse, or the same. Advantage being that if you feel just fine at the higher value then you’ll cut your AI cost in half as well as any impact your AI was having on lipids.

Ya I think I’ll half it and see how that goes. Worst case scenario I my e2 gets to the top of the range and I save few bucks in the long term.

16 is quite centered based on those guidelines, but as mentioned it’s more about how you feel if you’re already within range. If you’re looking to raise it a bit you could consider trying 6.25 on shot days but that may raise you a bit beyond the 20s. You’d definitely wanna get labs done if you do that, but if it works out that’s a far better option since the less AI, the better for your health.

I think going with aromasin on Mondays only will be ideal for you. I ran similar doses and that put m E2 around 22-26. Two times a week of 12.5mg is a lot of aromasin though, especially if you’re someone who doesn’t aromatize a lot (which seems to be the case from your bloods). Your estrogen isn’t crazy low, but a little more might help your overall organ health and gains.

You don’t feel that will cause his to drop even further upon ingestion and then only creep up into that range closer to when it’s time to redose? If 12.5 split is putting him at 16 a 25 dose would surely bring him even lower and just create a larger range in both directions (low and then high)? Just curious - I’m no expert on the variance of 12.5 to 25 when it comes to how much more (if at all) it lowers e2

kingofcarbz has a point about the reference range. 0-29 on this ultrasensitive test as opposed to the normal test which I think 39 is the end of the normal?? So 16 is pretty ideal although my sex drive seems a little low atm.
