E2 levels high at aromasin 25mg ED

Hey guys,

I’m new to the forum. I’ve done two pro hormone cycles and one test and eq cycle years ago in college. I’m currently on a cycle of test only (600mg per week) and just got my blood work back which was taken at the end of week 9 of this current cycle. My estrogen came back at 52.4. I started taking aromasin eod and have slowly upped the dose to 25mg ED as I’ve been fighting Gyno throughout the cycle. Ive been at 25mg of aromasin ED for the past week and a half. I’ve always been very Gyno prone, but I’ve been able to keep Gyno at a bay with Nolvadex.

Basically my question is, how do I lower my estrogen levels? Do I take more aromasin, continue with the Nolvadex to keep Gyno at bay, or should I switch to letro?

I’d switch to Letro. I think 52.4 is within range but being gyno sensitive changes everything. I’ve gotten bunk aromasin but never bunk Letro. Aromasin is supposedly more lipid friendly but Letro is most definitely more anti-gyno friendly. Maybe think about adding a DHT based compound in the future.
 
If nolva is working I wouldn’t change what you’re doing. Usually 10mg eod of nolva is enough to keep estrogen sides away even on the heaviest cycles. Nolva does lower igf so don’t use unless necessary and always use lowest dose possible.

Definitely an option but letro is not very new user friendly and chances of him crashing his estrogen are pretty high. Not disagreeing just looking at every angle.
 
Update

Gyno has fully subsided. I️ was taking 40mg of Nolva a day to only marginally fight Gyno. Got my hands on some raloxifene and on day 3 of 60mg it’s stopped it in its tracks. I’ll never cycle without raloxifene again!!
 
In general the percent decrease in estrogen quoted by many people are from studies on postmenopausal females. These studies show 98% drop in estrogen with these standard doses (25 aromasin or 2.5 letro) but for males the decrease is much less. Males taking letro at 2.5 daily only decreases estrogen by ~60% and aromasin at 25 is not much better as letro is the stronger one of the two. I’ve taken legit aromasin 25 daily and thought it was much weaker than letro 2.5 daily. I️ actually take letro 2.5 daily on cycle and have recently added in raloxifene 60 and now my estrogen sides are gone with no real added side effects. So you can still get legit aromasin and letro and have estrogen issues, especially when using aromatizing compounds, as the 60% decrease noted above is in males NOT taking anabolics. Thus the decrease in estrogen from these full doses is even less than 60% if you are running a descent dose of test or other aromatizing compound. Nolva and raloxifene are technically comparable in their ability to prevent gyno, however nolva needs to be converted via the cyp2d6 enzyme and some people have low activity of this enzyme or are taking drugs that inhibit it. In these people the nolva isn’t going to convert to its active form in high enough amounts so even 40 daily for some people might not help much. Raloxifene is active as is and doesn’t rely on metabolic conversion so it is deff the better of the two for gyno prevention or treatment on or off cycle.
