how to control e2

[TestForLife]

Hello guys,

I need a little help on how to control e2 level I am running my first test only cycle, the first 3 weeks I was on 300 mg test then I increased test to 350 mg at week 5 then increase test 400 mg again at week 7 since my bloodwork came back in normal.

I am also running 250 iu hcg a twice week, 25 mg Proviron every 12 hours, and i use 0.5 mg Arimidex twice a week.

I have high e2 Side-Effect some water retention, low mood , and low labido I did an e2 blood test about week 4 an my e2 levels were 111 pg/ml after that I increase ai to 0.5mg to eod.

At week 6 I tested my e2 levels wasn't that different 98 pg/ml.

I used testosterone enanthate
body fat is 14%

If you drop the HCG you would probably be fine. Otherwise you just have to keep doing trial and error till you get your doses correct

I have tried drooping hcg for 2 weeks e2 dropped to 70 pg/ml

On 350-400 test, a 70 would be pretty close to ideal. Id imagine you probably wouldn't even need the AI at that point. Estrogen takes significantly longer to come down then testosterone levels do. If you had left the HCG out longer, e2 probably would have continued to lower.

Since this is your 1st cycle, my advice is, keep the dosage at 300mg till you see any of these things
1) Progression in gym stalling
2) Body composition stagnant

Take another bloodwork 4-6 weeks after dropping all of those ancillaries and see where your E2 stands along with your Test and SHBG.
