Hey guys, I wanted to show this to everyone to maybe get some more insight and stir up some discussion. I recently completed a bridge cycle of Phera and Epi (P-Plex and Epidrol).
Obviously, neither of these compounds arromatize so I was cautious of supressing E for too long. Therefore, I wanted to get my T and E results during the last week of my cycle so that I could accuratley plan my PCT.
Before I go further, let me also say that I had bloods done before cycle as well. My T was 488 and and E was 49 (top of this range was 52). So my E was natually high pre cycle as well.
During the last week of my cycle I took one of the OPTI MALE saliva based hormone tests. My results were this:
Significantly supressed T and my Estradiol was 1.8 with 1.5 being the "excessive" mark.
Now, I expected the lower T, but not the elavated E. Especially while on Epi and PP. I do understant that just because something doesnt arromatize, doesnt mean E willl be low. There are a few other factors that contribute to that. I.E. lowered SHBG....
Any thoughts or comments??
