How Long On 12.5mg ED Aromasin For Very High E2?

my recent tests showed E2 at 83.52 pg/mL, so I've gone from taking aromasin 12.5mg E3D to ED for the past 4 days.

If I'm aiming to get it down to 20-30 pg/mL while still taking 220mg T/week and 200mg Deca/week, how long would you suggest taking aromasin 12.5mg ED?

In other words, roughly how many days of 12.5mg aromasin daily would it take to reduce E2 by about 60 pg/mL, while still running 220mg T/week and 200mg Deca/week?
 
NO one can possibly interpret how you're going to react to that medication, you need to test and evaluate symptoms from there, but there's no possible way to tell you how much to take to reach a certain level. Which working in this manner, playing the numbers game, it's almost always a path to failure.

any suggested time for the next set of tests?

aromasin is strong, so I was originally thinking of taking 12.5mg ED for 3-5 days, then switching to EOD - with the hopes that it'd already have been lowered to at least within range, then do a follow up test.
 
I woudn't force it, just stay on 12.5 e3d and do labs after few weeks your E will come down.. its very easy to crash your e2 better be on less AI if it's truly needed and play it safe..

you may also want to be littlge higher then 20-30.. 40 is ok too.. even 50 is ok too you shoud not treat estradiol if you don't have the symptoms to match that elevated number

this is very helpful, thank you. I definitely would rather have 'slightly elevated' E than too low. I've found it to be quite a slippery slope for most of this year, trying to dial in the exact right dosage and timing.

The reason I switched to E3/4D, was that I 'thought' I was feeling some symptoms of low E. Then I now have way too high E, it's been like a see-saw.

but ya, definitely would rather bit too high than too low, especially because I've been getting intermittent tendonitis and joint pains all year.
 
Hold up bud, what type of methodology of E2 testing did you have LC/MS/MS or Roche Eclia or IA? Deca/Nandrolone can skew E2 and TT results to some degree. Your E2 may infact be normal. How do you feel?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
