Thread: high estrogen or low estrogen?

Hi guys, I need some help figuring out what I am experiencing... I just am not feeling right past week or so. I have been playing with my ai dose etc to find balance and can't quite get it. Here's what happened, I started my cycle 500mg test 500mg eq, 300 mg primo.. 1mg adex ed. I am pre contest right now, my coach hd me add nolvadex.. as he thought it was superior to adex. So I stayed on 1mg adex and added 40mg nolva ed. I ran this for 2 weeks and began to feel weak in gym and couldn't get a pump, slight aches here and there but nothing drastic.. no pump was frustrating so I dropped down to .5mg adex ed and 20mg nolva ed. Ran that for a week felt fine but a Lil off. Nips started to itch and look slightly puffy.. I usually don't run nolva so thought that was culprit. Told my coach I am dropping nolva don't like it, so that left me on .5mg adex and having issues I can't pin point... my symptoms are .. nipples no longer itch but getting a tingle in them, mental fog, very tired lethargic, feel slightly bloated (could be diet related tho..large volume food but am unsure), my sex drive is there , it has been unchanged, but my erections aren't as strong, and my balls are achey and shriveling up, same with penis, as if I am cold all day I am also getting cold hands feet a lot .. I am thinking my e is high? I don't have sore joints so I don't think it is low but again I am uncertain... please help guys!!!!

Hey mate
Honestly in my opinion especially if your getting ready for a show very soon. We can all speculate but go get blood work done brother. Its guna tell you whats up and then you wont be wasting time guessing.

I am 19 weeks or so out so not in huge rush, I am trying to make plans for blood work , I usually get it through my physician with check up, which won't be for few months, how do I go about getting an order for blood work? I hear about sites that do it cheap and you go to lab etc. Also looking for opinions for people think my sides are from low e or high? I have bumped adex back up to .75mg and hoping I see positive change , seems like a lot of adex for 500mg test tho

1mg of adex ed for that dose would crash my E2 for sure. Nolva and Adex are 2 different animals, I would leave out nolva unless experiencing gyno or issues related to but sounds like low E2 symptoms. We can all speculate but get bloodwork done especially if doing a show so you can dial in right.

At .5mg of adex everyday you're still having puffy nips issues? Your adex may be bunk. 1mg ED would shut your estrogen down for sure on that cycle. No estrogen will make you feel pretty shitty as well, and may be affecting you this way. Drop your ai and nolva for the next week or two and see if things improve.

muscle fullness isn't an issue, they are full I am getting good pumps.. no joint pain as,of yet, those 2 things are leading me t believe it was high, nipples were aching as well as balls... I have upped to 1mg ed and sides dissappear in but still not getting good erections .. shots frustrating. Will have bloods in a week and will go from there and will update!

Yesterday I took .75mg adex, tingly feeling in nips went away, tried to have sex with my lady and my orgasm I didn't even feel, kinda just came out without feeling , sucked, shit is bothering me. How long should I keep steady dose and get blood test? I dropped nolva... I don't wanna get test now and not know what was doing what.. and i have a lot of symptoms of low but why would my nipples itch when it's low? Also I have used 1mg adex or 25mg aromasin on cycle before this has never happened!!!

i am in the same shoes right now dude. i got gyno on 1mg of adex as well
