Will do- still confused on how long to run it? Couple weeks, rest of cycle, a few days? Also heard it kills sex drive & gives u ED! Any truth to this? Not wanting to b soft for too long! Lol so I wanna avoid using it for too long unless it's a must.
Yea there is truth to that. That's what ManBeast was talking about and why he does not casually recommend taking an AI during a cycle. If you take too much AI, you can "crush" your estrogen levels and make them too low. Having some estrogen in your system is important for libido and proper sexual function. Similarly, too much estrogen can also cause libido and energy issues, which might be what you're currently experiencing. You want the estrogen levels just right.
What we are attempting to do with a low dose AI is to
control estrogen, not eliminate it. That's why I suggested starting at the low dose of 0.25 mg/day or 0.5 mg EOD. To give you a comparison, for women with estrogen related breast cancer, they receive a dose of 2.5 mg/day which is 10 times what we're recommending here. If you take the lower dose of 0.25 mg/day, then you are slowing the production of estrogen closer to normal levels, but not eliminating the production of estrogen. Make sense?
Like I was saying, you can adjust the dosage until it meets your needs. You could start at 0.25 mg every other day for example. Run it throughout your cycle. It's not absolutely necessary and many run successful test cycles without an AI, but running a low dose AI could definitely help you with some of the negative symptoms you're experiencing.
Edit: As far as cost concerns, looking at prices of liquid letro, taking a 0.25 mg dose would come out to 13 to 15 cents per day. I think that's doable..
