PLEASE HELP? High or Low E2?

[flashpass123]

I just finished up my 3rd week of test E 300mg a week with arimidex .5mg 3x a week Monday Wednesday Friday. For the past week I’ve been having ridiculous constipation and bloating. Yes I take in enough fiber and I drink enough water. I am getting bloodwork done on Tuesday to see where my e2 is but those results won’t come back for 7-14 business days. I’ve read that constipation can be a side of high e2 or low e2. Idk if should lower my dose or raise my dose, please help!

Impossible for us to say dude, but bloating and holding water is usually a sign of elevated estrogen levels.

Morning woods every single day. Constipation and oversleeping has been the only sides.

Get bloodwork, that is the only way to know for sure. Unless you are feeling really miserable, I would try to keep all my dosing the same in order to be able to accurately adjust dosing in the future to correct E2.

But based on your dosages, I would guess that your E2 is low. That is a fuckton of Arimidex to be taking on 300mg/week of Test unless you already know you are a high aromatizer. It is also only week 3 and you are already dosing 3x per week. It isn’t suggested to start dosing AI until Week 2 normally, and at 300mg/week Test I would recommend 0.25mg Adex E3.5D and then get bloodwork to hone your E2 in. You are taking way more than that - I don’t know who suggested that to you.

Also, how do you know you won’t get bloodwork back for 7-14 business days? Are you going through a Doctor? Because if you are going through a 3rd party service (like PrivateMDLabs) they often say this to cover their ass, and then get you your bloodwork results in 1-3 business days.

Test only and 3 days of AI a week? Should be crashed E2 but bloods are best way to go.

Ok I guess I will take my normal Monday dose and get bloodwork on Tuesday. Thanks for your help.

7 days or more wait time if u use the high sensitive e2 test, which u should. and as was stated, thats a lotta adex especially since ur test levels havent built up yet. i say ur crashed.
but test will tell.

Seems like too much AI for 300 test

I agree, you may not even need an AI. Especially if you pin 3xweek. At that level you can wait for symptoms rather that treating it right away. But the above recommendation is a good place to start.

It’s so easy to tell low e2, Are you feeling drier, eyes drier? lips drier? Body drier? Joints feel weird and drier?

Next up, are you feeling like depressed, foggy brain, low sense of well being, almost like the world if ending and no matter what you think or do your just sad?

Next up is lethargic, are you feeling super lethargic despite everything else being good on your cycle?

Estrogen basically helps you feel good, givse you sense of well being, give you water in you joints, body, and overall having little high e2 is good.

Ehhhh slightly elevated e2 is okay and way more beneficial than tanked E2 yes. I prefer to keep my e2 on the high end even out of blood work reference range if it means my e2 doesn’t get tanked.

BUMP: I went 3 full days without an AI and I have been having GOOD bowel movements. I won’t be taking an AI 3x a week anymore. My new question is: Should I go with 1x a week or 2x a week on 300mg test?

Depends on what your blood says dude.

I made a decision to reduce my dose this week based off the way I feel. So it would be smarter to wait until my levels stabilize with the new dose. I’ll get bloods next week Saturday.
