[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 131599, member: 15043"] Agreed, 6.25mg EOD is definitely too much for me. So no need to wait for the labs, I can give you them now. I’ll explain. Those two labs when I was using Arimidex and aromasin EOD, were back in August and December of last year. I’ve since changed my protocol a bunch of times. I had to change it frequently because I was going back and forth between pregnyl and Empower HCG. I’ve settled on using empower HCG from now on, to make it easier to dial in my labs. So back in October of this year is actually when I had labs done while on 140mg/ week of test, 1000iu/ week of HCG, and 6.25mg of aromasin E5D. I inject test and HCG EOD. Here’s my labs while on that protocol. Total - 1613 (250-1100 ng/dL) Free - 230.8 (46.0-224.0) Bioavailability - 484.7 (110.0-575.0 ng/dL) SHBG 44 (10-50) E2 Sensitive - 58 E2 NOT Sensitive - 68 E2 Free - 1.48 (<0.45) I then decided to try and increase aromasin to 6.25mg E3D, and keep everything else the same.
