Hey all, I wanted to ask for some opinions on my current compound situation and labs. Quick recap: So I started my first t-cycle on 7/4/25 with 200mg test-c weekly split into daily IM injections. 4 weeks later, I pulled labs again to see how things were going. E2 was at 22.1. T levels were at...

All right, not that old, but getting there... 38 years old at the time of starting this topic, 100kg (220pounds), and 195cm (just under 6'5) with about 15-16% body fat. Hello Everybody, just joined this fine forum, and had only recently started TRT in April 2025. I added *mostly* to the title...

I’ve been on 160mg a week for 5 weeks now and at time of labs was 4 weeks in. I pin on Monday and Thursday at 80mg to keep spikes down. I do lift 3x a week and just started 4x last week and been off an on at the gym last couple years but determined this time and need to lose weight. I’m 6,0” and...

This is where I’m going to be detailing my HRT journey, as I believe I am in the early stages of perimenopause and I believe the best approach to improve my quality of life is to treat the hormones (the cause) and not just the symptoms. Some background: I am 38. From childhood onward, I have...

Started TRT 200mg/week about 2.5 months ago. Everything has felt fine so far. Got my first bloods and holy aromatization. I've had maybe the tiniest anxiety increase but would have guessed I was at the top end of the reference range not triple. Blood pressure is still 120/60 average, no...

Previously was running 1000 mg testosterone cypionate (split into 2 injections) with 25 mg aromasin 5x per week (taken with food or a scoop of peanut butter once per day). On trough, this was my blood results: * SHBG 7 nmol/L (12-60 nmol/L is normal range) * Test 162.5 nmol/L (4686 ng/dL) *...

Hey, this is just a theory. I’m trying to see if anyone has any information on this. I heard that people who have used HGH, possibly at high doses for a long time may not have as much of a need for AI’s. This may have something to do with IGF-1 production. I am wondering if anyone also has...

I am going to run 500mg test without using AI's (I tried up to 250 and never had high e2 sides). The negative effects of AI's are way worse than side effects of high e2. The only thing that matters to me is gyno and blood pressure. In case of gyno I would use Tamoxifen. But I don't know if I...

All the harmful reduction educators sound like an echo chamber when it comes to Nandrolone (probably except Derek who has touched on the same topic briefly). Everyone suggests it's more harmful (increased CVD and neuro toxicity) however I have been unable to find any quality studies proving...

Should I take 0.5mg of cabergoline and 12.5mg of aromasin to lower my prolactin and estrogen? What dosage of each should I run? Thanks in advance

Greetings everyone, hope you're all doing well. I'm currently at around halfway my cycle of 500mg test with some dbol sprinkled for pwo at times, and got bloodwork and to my surprise my estrogen came back at 100pg/ml. Also way heavier than I was when I started the cycle, fat added as well. I've...

Having recently discovered I have a 4mm gallstone , I went around and found studies linking estrogen in women to higher likelihood of stone formation. Here is one such study Effect of Estrogen Therapy on Gallbladder Disease How would this translate to men, are the androgens negating estrogens...

Hello all! I want to blast and cruise testosterone enanthate or cypionate, but I don't know what I would use between Clomid, Noladex or Aromasin while on cycle? Could you all also explain to me what they all do and when you would use Clomid, Noladex or Aromasin in a scenario in which you would...

Long story short: I added EQ to my current test E cycle 2 month ago... I was running a 350 mg EW, and decided to frontload 1.6 g of EQ for the first 2 weeks(stupid). Didn't really think about possibilities of crashing my E2 at the time.... Since then i have upped my test dose to 600 MG EW, and...

Hey guys, so I am on around 280mg of test x week. No AI. I decided to do a DBOL cycle (20mg) and took pre-cycle bloods. Total Test 1940 ng/dl 17-Beta Estradiol 64 pg/ml This is the fourth day I have been taking 20mg (split in 10/5/5) and man I am having the WORST workouts...

Started TRT 200mg/week, Injection frequency 1/week First injection on Sunday morning. Yesterday and today I've been experiencing high e2 sides. Anxiety Bloat (especially in face) Mind fog ED Is this because I've just started, and it will go away as I continue taking T? Or is it because the...

I think i crashed my estrogen by taking a little too much aromasin this week. My libido got crushed + super limp dick, and terrible timing too with my new girl. I'm on 500mg Test Cyp / week, I ceased use of Aromasin + finasteride (.25mg ED) and got ultrasensitive e2 bloods yesterday. I also...

Hey y'all! Good morning. Happy motherfucking Saturday ya bastards!@ I have been sleeping like a king lately (which means for me, a solid 7.5 hours of sleep and I wake feeling like a million bucks) after battling fucking wicked insomnia for the last several months. I finally figured out a...

Hi all, Was running 175/week Test Cyp with no AI, plus 100 Nandrolone. Got a little lump in the nip, first time. Did a few days of Tamoxifen and one dose of Anastrazol, and switched to Drostanolone 200/week for a couple weeks. The lump shrank some and doesn't hurt anymore, and I've added back...

I inject 90 mg of test every 4 days and take 6.25 mg of aromasin usually 12-15 hrs post injection. This keeps my estradiol at about 22-24 on my labs. However I forgot to take my aromasin last injection and didn’t realize it till 2.5 days later and took it as soon as I realized. So my question...
