What AI do you use and why?

Hey guys, been using aromasin ever since my first cycle and been thinking of switching to afex recently. I need to draw bloods to see where my e2 is at but I feel like aromasin might be crashing my e2 everytime I take a dose (12.5mg x2 per week) getting usual symptoms like no motivation. Anxiety etc.

Also when is the best time to pull bloods to see what my true e2 reading would be after taking Aromasin? Iv had mixed answers some say 24 hours others say 3 days

I don't use AIs anymore. Caused me more issues than they solved. I either try to keep my cycles smaller or I use anti estrogenic compounds during my cycle.

Thinks I've noticed that lower my estrogen:

Cialis
EQ
Primo

Mast also helped but it didn't actually lower my E2 in bloods.

aromasin king of ai's, but never really had estrogen issues and ran up to 500 test i usually just use eq if i run high test tbf. I nuked my estrogen to grow

I use aromasin whenever I run MENT. Usually start Asin 2-3 days before taking any MENT and only then introduce MENT.

Bro science but it works, no e2 side effects from MENT that way.

aromasin. so far no issues. ive used it quite a lot in doses people would think "you will crash your e2" without actually crashing it.
750 test & 100mg aromasin per week = 59 pg/ml

None because I don’t use absurd amounts of aromatizing compounds

Haven't used an AI in many years. For many, they do more harm than good. Some people do need them thought.

I personally use Aromasin as I find it smoother overall.

The only downside is that I tend to aromatise heavily (genetics) and for me it’s not very strong so I need a hefty amount of it to control my E2 even on moderate cycles (I’m talking 25mg DAILY!). I think the chance of me crashing my estrogen from Aromasin is very unlikely.

Most of this stuff is going to come down to trial and error + tracking your own blood work not by what you hear other people doing. You may need a lot more or less than you think.

Even with using a relatively high dose I’ve not noticed any negative side effects or impact on my cholesterol/bloods…etc.

Some guys are able to control their E2 using primo or EQ, which is an option - but you’ve still got to figure out the ratios…etc. And it’s a little less predictable (not to mention the mg/ml dosing may vary from batch to batch. So you might think you’re taking 200mg primo and it’s more like 150mg and you’re basing your ratios off inconsistent data).

Why are you taking 12.5mg of aromasin 2x per week, if you think it’s crashing your E2?

I would suggest lowering your frequency and/or dose, and get bloodwork to confirm what impact it’s having on E2.

I prefer aromasin, but switching to a different AI wouldn’t change this recommendation.
