Labs. Question related to LH/FSH

[Emaxx]

I’m 44. BF 12%. 5’11” 195. Lifting 5 years consistently and many years inconsistently. 3 years since a serious cycle but did an 8 wk test only cycle of 300 mg/wk Test C in Aug and Sept 2017 with a aromasin, nolva, clomid PCT of 5 weeks basically for a system check.

Total test 577 with FSH and LH at 3.6. I’ll confess to abusing AAS in the past. I’m satisfied that my total test has recovered decently. Estradiol in check at 8.6. Question is that given my history of having shut myself down hard, is it reasonable to expect my LH/FSH to be much better than this? Considering my age as well.

My intention is to do a cycle of test C 350/wk, deca 300/wk with tbol 50 per day for 6 wk kickstart with aromasin 12.5 eod and dostinex .25 e3d. Will PCT nolva and clomid 50/50/25/25/25 and 40/40/20/20/20 with Post Ct leading up into PCT starting last inj and extending 2 weeks into PCT. Will also run GW 501516 and MK 2866 20 and 25 mg/day during PCT. aromasin through PCT as well at same dosage. Thank you. Just wanting to make sure I’m not wasting my time waiting for better numbers. I’m not the porn star I was in my 30’s but I’m functioning okay. Thanks for the time.

At your age and past history I think that is pretty good and expected. You are well within normal ranges.

You have a great recovery and pct plan for the future, and that's what will help you make sure you keep those levels as good as they can be

there's nothing wrong at all with your lh and fsh, those are good number but your estrogen is very very low... its best to be in the mid to high 20's at least. so you are extremely low there but otherwise, everything looks damn good for your age

Appreciate that Rick.

You are welcome brother. Glad to see the concern on your part and looking out just in case. I respect that

 

[Emaxx]

Thanks Dylan. Is low estrogen worth trying to do anything about?

well yes, it needs to come up bro...

Foods that Increase Estrogen Levels!

• Soy Products
• Beer-Hops
• Oregano
• Grapefruit
• Licorice (The real thing, not the sugary red stuff)

Foods That Reduce Estrogen Levels!
If you have low E, avoid all cruciferous vegetables as they will reduce estrogen levels in your body.
These include..

• Broccoli
• Brussel Sprouts
• Cauiliflower
• Cabbage

I’m having a hard time understanding why my estrogen is 8.6 when my serum test is 577. Seems to me that I’d have enough test conversion to have a normal estrogen level. Most of the stuff I’m reading about low estrogen in males seems to suggest that it’s related to low T which isn’t a problem. Also, does that mean I’ll need less AI on cycle or that I should use arimadex instead of aromasin? I’m afraid I’ll crush my estrogen on aromasin 12.5 eod. Thoughts?

you definitely dont need aromasin and if it were me, i would run HALF a normal dose of arimidex so .25 mg eod... there could be a lot of factors as to why you have low estrogen... just because your test is 577 doesnt mean you cannot have a low estrogen level brother but i would be hypothesizing as to the reason.. lets just work on getting it back in normal range...

 

[Emaxx]

Alright. Thank you.

no problem

Ok. So I’m ready for a smack down but I have access to a drug called Duavee. It’s an conjugated estrogen as well as a SERM. It’s a year old but still in the foil. I’ve never heard of it but it was prescribed to my wife for estrogen replacement. I’ve read some info online but it mostly educational and promotional material. Nothing related to B.B but I’m thinking of taking it for a few weeks and retesting. What do you think risk vs reward? Ever heard of it?

So if you were me, would you start out next cycle on .25 Arimidex or would you wait a time? And if so, how long? I’m thinking if I wait to start I should draw labs at 3 weeks and then again at six to really know what I should do about E2 control.

Thinking about postponing arimidex a week or maybe even 2.
