Managing E2 without the use of AI: Suggestions?

I'd much rather do a kiss of masteron than an AI
50mg a week does the trick for me
E2 and BW is optimal
The constant sore right nip has long vanished as well as the moodiness from elevated E2

Arimidex is horrible stuff for me, feels like I'm on an anti depressant and has crashed me before. Never again

Can you open up your private messages or send me a DM?
 
drop the AI first. Up your T dose just a bit, and lower your HCG. Inject T EOD and alternate with 150iu of HCG EOD. This keeps E where it should be according to to your T levels. The key is to let your body adjust. It may take little or some time. But once that is set you’re good to go. If you feel a symptom dont change a thing. Reaching for the AI and manually adjusting E cuts off that important factor in allowing the body to do what it feels is best for it. Your body recognizes T and it knows what to do with it. More frequent shots help keep levels steady and only 150iu EOD should keep your balls nice and plump. When you need to have children you can always up your HCG temporarily.

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.
