First time poster. I've been on TRT for about 3 years (started at 100mg per week with no AI and gradually fine-tuned things and increased to 220mg per week with 1.1mg amridex over the course of that time). Blood work all looked good, but I decided to switch to aromasin for the superior SHBG properties, lessened estrogen rebound, and decreased liver toxicity. When I switched to aromasin, I went from amridex being blended into the test by the pharmacy to oral aromasin. I had found that amridex was a little less effective orally and I needed 1.5mg to keep my estrogen under control, so I used what's said to be an equivalent dosage of aromasin (37.5mg).
I recently ran my first blast of 400 test / 125 deca (weekly) and 50 anavar (daily). At this test dosage, I was using that same 37.5mg of aromasin and my estradiol mid-blast was 25.1 (with the "normal range" being quantified as 8-35). The deca and anavar shouldn't be a factor since they don't aromatize.
Now I'm back to cruising at 240 test, no deca, no anavar... so I dropped my aromasin to 25mg weekly in an attempt to help improve my lipids and go easier on my liver... but my estradiol skyrocketed to 82.7.
So, I'm questioning whether it's an issue of dosage or lost efficacy of aromasin. Can anybody provide some guidance on a "typical" aromasin-to-testosterone ratio? I've always been under the impression that running the lowest dosage of AI while controlling estrogen is the proper protocol.
Thanks in advance!
