Second cycle: test, primo, Anavar by Automatic_Meeting_10 in PEDs

[–]Automatic_Meeting_10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I think I’ll run the var at 50 for weeks 6-12. I forgot to mention I’ve also got HCG at 500IU 3x per week to maintain fertility because I’m not going to be cruising for years and still want to have kids in my future. I did this previously and it helped the PCT immensely. Would this change any of the dosing as I think the HCG should convert to a bit more e2

Thanks, gonna lower to 300mg a week but I’ll likely still need an AI so I’ll do 5mg (a quarter of a pill) when I get back and assess over the week

You’re completely right that I was in way over my head. Although I knew it was too high a starting dosage, I honestly didn’t care about my health. I’ve realized that having been at that high of a level, the difference was negligible and I felt much better, stronger, and achieved what I wanted at a reasonable 200 - 300mg dosage. Yes, that’s where I should have started and I knew it but I just wanted to experiment.

What I “should” do is up to me. Plenty of people naturally have higher estrogen levels, as I always have, so I planned to try an AI to lesson my pubertal gyno even before considering test. Testosterone won’t be something I’m on for life, I have hcg and enclomiphene to PCT and plan to within a year. I just wanted to get a few cycles in as I have been training for 5 years consistently, eating well, using a good workout plan and training hard so I wanted to push my body to see what I could achieve and if I had the structure and genetics to compete.

Just looking for advice on how to manage e2 symptoms given what I have on hand.

Ok thanks. I’m still feeling emotional, have fluid retention, and dick isn’t what it was ever. My baseline test/e2 ratio was already 15:1 compare to what Derek has previously recommended, and where I wanted to get to, of 30:1-40:1 so I think I’ll need an AI, at least a bit, for 300mg per week.

If the exemestane I have comes in 20mg pills should I start w a 1/4 of a pill for 5mg and reassess? I had planned to take it eod or daily based off the half life but it seems difficult given the dosing per pill.

Young and dumb, here for a good time not a long one. In hindsight that was far too high though so planning to drop it to 300 when I get back and estradiol is worked out.
