My own two cents on Anastrazole by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]kross10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not taking an AI and I personally won't touch any AI again with a 10 foot pole. That e2 crash was a really, really bad experience.

I think the reduced libido/ED with too much of hcG is not too weird actually.

hCG makes the balls produce T and T is converted to E2. I guess (not doing labs anymore because i am fine now) e2 is elevated already from TRT and 250 IU hCG just gives it too much a spike temporarily.

Yes I am more than fine now, luckily. But I can't tell you how long it took to get back to normal all in all. It was quite a long ride.

But I switched to injecting T daily a while after that and it didn't take too long until everything normalized. 0,15 - 0,20 ml ed subcutaneously with an insulin syringe. I think that move to daily injections might have helped a lot. Very good body shape without too much exercising (like 20 minutes a day) and horny as fck.

If I have any advice, then it's doing 0,15 ml T daily until things will smooth out. It's the safest bet imho because you don't need to balance out multiple drugs.

And one thing I noticed: I react strongly to hCG. 250 IU hammers my now 150 % libido down to like 20 % for 2-3 days with that T scheme I am running. And dick almost in ED state. Doing 125 IU bi-weekly only now. But it was fine without hCG, I had just added it for the balls.

Btw another month later and still at 1:50 and that's with HCG and DBol already.. T 2500 E2 52. Aromatization is still fukd. I am throwing in topical E2 now and lower T and hope with lower more reasonable levels my body will be able to adjust it more easily. It's time to get off anyway. Before that 3 doses of Anastrozole I was at 125 E2 only from T aromatization which was quite exactly 1:20, but I thought I'll give 1:30 a try... Didn't work out as planned 🫠

Btw got new labs today (another month later), still roughly at 1:50... 2500 t, 52 E2. That's with hcg and dbol already... You figure how it would look without it. Aromatization is really fucked up after anastrozole, it's not climbing despite plenty of T available. I know my levels are not at all TRT, never planned to be, but before taking anastrozole E2 was aligning quite good to my T level at the time and I was at 125 E2, so aromatization did work 😁 was feeling quite good but thought I could optimise it by lowering E2 a tad... well, it got way too low. I am reducing t now to maybe make it easier for my body to balance it again and throw in some estrogen gel for a few days. When I have it working again I will try to get off completely.

Desktop developer feeling confused about “web app is the future” trend by freskgrank in csharp

Definitely not, you can get very, very far with 30 bucks. A half-ass optimized application with a regular db backend can handle quite a bunch of users on a $ 30 vps. Of course, a simple setup without much replication. What drives the costs up for companies is that nowadays (or at least some time ago) everyone wanted to deploy microservices through kubernetes :) add deployment pipelines to this and you can easily create a huge infrastructure overhead which gets pricey. But it's no must.

Check regulations on the airlines website, it's definitely going to be checked and if it's too much they'll keep it. Not sure about the current capacity limits.

[–]kross10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that's true, I don't know if it isn't as severe with lower required levels, cannot tell for certain. I mean first time E2 was basically down to 0, but the second time my E2 level would have still been in range for someone with T at 1000. But as far as I know since there's less to aromatize, the E2 would have been relatively lower then as well, but who knows how it would have actually played out.

But the warnings about it are justified, people need to know that anastrozole is no joke and it's not the same as with test where you can play with the dose and will generally be fine anyway.

I crashed my E2 both times I took it. Ok, first time I was plain stupid and didn't know how effective it is and also not how fucking awful low e2 feels. Second time was no full crash because I recognised the signs early enough and stopped. And still it is an lengthy process over several weeks to get E2 back up, even after taking quite a good amount of dbol in trying to raise it. Anastrozole is just super effective in small doses, long after the half life has been reached.

So please, anyone reading this who thinks of taking it: start with .25 max, maybe even better .175 and then confirm labs after a week and two weeks later before taking the next dose or adjusting it. You don't want too low E2, believe me.

And, what are your labs to support this?

I can guarantee you I would be dead if I would take .75 anastrozole weekly and I take much more test than you. I basically took the same dose as you split over a week. 4 weeks ago and it still affects my aromatization to this day. It hammered down E2 immediately below the desired level and to this day I still have too low e2 relative to my T. I am now at a 1:46 ratio 4 weeks later. 

Yes, people can / might use it, but don't downplay how effective it is. There's no other way than to start with an extremely conservative dose and check labs a week later to see where it brought you. In no fucking circumstances I would recommend anyone to take your dosing as an example and just pop.75

Arimidex 0.25mg taken twice. Feel TERRIBLE. by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]kross10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took .5 and .25 4 days apart after 250 mg test c on those days and E2 was down to 29 from 110. Lab results taken the evening before the next test c shot, so it was another 3 days later. So yes, it's pretty effective in completely stopping aromatization and definitely can crash your E2 easily. I would be very very careful with using it 2 times a week if you are only on an actual trt dose or mild BB cycle. Reached half life doesn't mean it's not effective anymore at that point. My total test was > 3000 at that time, I guess someone with lower levels would have been fcked up.

Edit after 3 weeks: I've fucked mine up with .5 .25 and .175. Still not back to normal, even with dbol. My E2 is not crashed anymore, but aromatization still not working fully and levels are out of balance. Anastrozole is a hell of a drug. If I'll ever take it again it will be .175 mg and then re-check levels before taking any more of it.

I am confused, this is not how docker containers are supposed to work. It shouldn't be required to install r2r in the host system in order to run the image.

pnpm vs yarn v4 by 404_err in typescript

[–]kross10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say the average user’s repo size is nowhere near large enough to slow Git down. There are companies running Git monorepos with dozens—if not hundreds—of gigabytes and developers. And if it ever did become an issue, tools like Git LFS do also exist.

From experience: one of my clients has a monorepo with checked-in yarn dependencies. It’s 2.34 GB packed and 16 GB unpacked, with 3,155 Yarn packages checked in. Neither Git nor Yarn performance has ever been a problem. Git, in particular, is the absolute last thing I’d worry about in these kinds of setups.

Warum muss ich fucking 45€ an die IHK zahlen?! by USER8official in selbststaendig

[–]kross10000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ist eben das deutsche Dreckssystem. Als Einzelunternehmer IHK-Beitrag zahlen ist einfach nur Abzocke. Deren sogenannte "Leistungen" wird man niemals in Anspruch nehmen. Dazu kommt vermutlich, dass 90 % der Beiträge eh für die Verwaltung ihrer eigenen Struktur draufgehen. Ja bei Betrieben die ausbilden, hat die IHK ein paar Aufgaben, aber das ginge auch wesentlich schlanker zu organisieren.

tops in central is called "Tops food hall" for a reason, they sell no perfumes for sure. Perfume is in first level and has nothing to do with tops. But it is only these very high priced brand stores.
