Signs of elevated estrogen

[Clysdale2001]

Hey crew, couple questions, on test C cycle , tomorrow is pin #4, my diet is on point, 3400-4000 cal a day, whole good food, multi vitamin every day and a post workout shake, am I jumping the gun but I’m finding my self quite a bit more bloated, maybe retaining a bit of water and a little moody, erections are 80% , libido isn’t up or down really, ridiculously tired quite often, what I’ve read is my estrogen could be coming up, so guess I’m asking should I look at a small intake of my A.I (arimidex) or maybe lower my weekly test total of 400 ? No really nipple sensitivity or am I jumping the gun a bit? I’ve did the research just looking for experienced advice, hate to jump on the a.i if I don’t need to crush my estrogen levels, sorry forgot to mention it seems my body fat % is going up a little excessive, thanks homies

Hey there. 90% of guys will need an ai on 500mg of test so it’s not really surprise if you need one. Best way is bloodwork obviously but if you’re not willing to do that then you will have to okay the guess game which isn’t going to be easy since you’re a beginner and it’s your first cycle. Also, I have a hard time understanding how can your diet be on point if you’re eating between 3400 to 4000 calories a day. There is a 600 calories difference from your lowest to highest points. There’s 7 days a week so 7x600 means there can be 4200ish calories difference from a week to another. That’s highly random and counter productive

Some mornings I have 7 eggs and some mornings I have 4 eggs, my diet is in a calorie surplus from what my maintenance levels are, some post workout meals are different from previous ones so my calories do fluctuate a bit, but are of all clean food,

yeah your estrogen is probably creeping up. As stated bloodwork is best route however.....

Taking 1mg of arimidex isn’t going to crash your estrogen if you’re on 500mg of test. Take one and see if the water weight and bloat gets any better. If it does then you know it was estrogen related. And then when you start noticing it happening again take another arimidex. That’s the only way to do it without bloodwork or really knowing your body.

I took .5 Sunday and my 4th pin Monday and the bloat is already gone and same as the water, definitely don’t want to be doing that often, felt like garbage all night last night, so basically just use it as I see signs of elevated estrogen? I also got an appointment to see the nurse practitioner here and hoping she will let me get some blood work done,

That’s pretty much all you can do without bloods. Eventually you will learn how your body reacts to high estrogen and will know when to take some AI

Thanks man, greatly appreciated, so far this has been a good experience, sure learning a lot about how my body reacts to test, 10 more weeks
