Basically the whole steroid community in North America is adamant to use the LC/MS method to get the most accurate E2 blood work. For a lot of people outside NA it is very difficult to get access to this form of testing.
My lab for example uses the CMIA method. I spoke to the doctor at my lab and told him about my concerns and was open about my steroid use. He was a really cool dude and had a good chat with him. He says that the difference between the two tests will only be a couple of points as long as the values are in the normal measurable ranges.
In my case I run 300mg test per week and am currently dosing 3.125 Aromasin on pin days (Monday & Thursday) and my E2 test (CMIA method) from the day after my last pin and Aromasin pill put my E2 at 26. I don't aromatize heavily at all, but a little elevated E2 causes me sensitive nipples. I feel absolutely fine like this.
Before my cycle my E2 came back at 20 pg/ml - and I felt absolutely perfect at that time.
I dropped my Aromasin for 9 days on cycle, my E2 came back at 38 pg/ml and I was already getting mild high E2 sides.
Picked up the Aromasin again at small doses (3.125mg on pin days) and that has put me at 26 pg/ml (as mentioned above) with bloods being taken one day after my injection and Aromasin dosage.
I feel like I'm in a good spot but I still want to be careful, as I'm on the lower end of the spectrum and it probably won't take much to crash my E2.
That being said I have no idea if dosages of 3.125mg Aromasin can even cause a crash in E2
Now if I go by what a lot of my fellow Americans are saying, my test result would put my E2 somewhere in the teens or single digits if run on a sensitive test. I don't have any symptoms of low E2, let alone crashed E2. But I still want to be careful, because nothing is worse than crashed E2 lol.
Does E2 peak the day after the injection?
Would appreciate feedback and a good discussion.
