It could just as easily be the tren causing the sexual dysfunction, rather than the estrogen. Actually, it is the most likely scenario.
Yeah that's what I would like to know too. I was gonna go up to half mg arimidex either daily or eod, but definitely want other opinions first. Thanks again guys
just out of curiosity do you think for that amount of test + hcg is enough? I have only experience with adex and i have to run it at 1mg ed (pharma grade from doc) when on 750-1000mg of test to keep estro at bay.
Shit. This is my first time taking tren at this high of a dosage. Is tren also known to hurt sex drive and appetite, because that's what I was having problems with in first place which made me get tested
Not sure if I am understanding the question properly. Are you asking if 10 mg of Aromasin is a high enough dose for a gram of test? If so, then absolutely not!
Huh very informative brother. Question for you, I freaked out and took a half mg arimidex yesterday and another half today from a couple pills I had sitting around from my last cycle. Is that really bad that I did that? And also, you're saying if I take 50mg a day of aromasin, I should be good to go instead of adex right?
It doesn't really raise your e2, it just gives a false high reading
Why?
What data backs this up?
Trenbolone isn't Estrogen and thats what the test is for.
10 mg of Aromasin is FAR too little when running that dose of test. 25 mg/day would be the MINIMUM dosage...and in cases where one's test dosage is a gram or more, many guys need to go to 37.5-50 mg/day in order to keep estrogen levels in an optimal range (low to mid-normal).
Aromasin was made to be used at between 25-50 mg/day. All the studies which have been done on men used 25-50 mg/day. Aromasin is not like A-dex or letro--you cannot use only a few mg's and expect it to be effective. It needs to be used at higher dosages. 10 mg daily won't cut it unless you're using like 300-400 mg of test/week.
Lastly, do NOT switch to another AI, as the other AI''s screw with lipids. Aromasin is the only AI which wont damage the lipid profile. With BB'rs already being at risk for cardiovascular health problems, and with poor cholesterol readings being at the forefront of the problem, adding another substance which will make the problem even worse is a moronic idea.
Aromasin should be the ONLY AI used, aside from very limited circumstances, such as a few weeks before a show or when trying to deal with problematic gyno. In those cases, letro is more effective, but when simply trying to control estrogen levels, Aromasin should be you mainstay.
You do realize the data is mixed and inconclusive on the adverse effects on lipid profiles between different AI's. See below.
Some say Aromasin has negative impact on lipids, some say Anastrozle has no impact on lipids. Even letrozole stating both sides of the coin.
Incidentally several things have a detrimental effect on lipids. One being the individuals genetic metabolism and expression of HMG-CoA reductase, which is an enzyme in the liver involved in the production of cholesterol. As well the efficacy of metabolizing enzymes of many hormonal reactants. Not to mention uncontrolled OSA's effects on lipid parameters.
It's the individual.
Lastly, being on a cycle has it's own adverse effects on lipids. Why people get hung up on any one particular AI being tauted as the demon on lipids, is beyond me.

British Journal of Cancer - The effects of aromatase inhibitors on lipids and thrombosis
Available data are mixed, but suggest that the different aromatase inhibitors have different effects on lipid profiles. Some studies show anastrozole as generally having little effect on lipids, while others have indicated adverse effects on lipid profiles/increased hypercholesterolaemia.
**broken link removed**
Anastrozole treatment has no impact on plasma lipid levels, whereas both letrozole and exemestane have an unfavorable effect. From indirect comparisons, anastrozole shows the highest degree of selectivity compared with letrozole and exemestane, in terms of a lack of effect on adrenosteroidogenesis
**broken link removed**
Conclusion: Anastrozole did not have a detrimental effect on lipid profiles following 3 months of therapy. There was a significant increase in CTx with anastrozole in contrast to tamoxifen.
Effect of Letrozole on Plasma Lipids, Triglycerides, and Estradiol in Postmenopausal Women with Metastatic Breast Cancer
Letrozole has a safe effect on the lipid and TGL profiles of postmenopausal women with MBC. Estradiol levels were maximally suppressed within 6 months of treatment. The increased levels of TC during treatment were reversible and returned to normal levels after 3 months.

CONCLUSIONS: While short-term administration of anastrozole is an effective method of normalizing serum testosterone levels in elderly men with mild hypogonadism, it does not appear to adversely affect lipid profiles, inflammatory markers of cardiovascular risk or insulin resistance.

CONCLUSION: Changes of lipid profiles in Japanese postmenopausal women treated with tamoxifen were relatively favorable, while exemestane and anastrozole had no clinically significant effect on the serum lipids.
Stewie- why don't more use Nolvadex for on cycle estrogen control due to it's benefits on cholesterol levels ? Most will see a negative shift in lipids at the 600mg/week Test and above so it would make sense to use Nolvadex. I know that there will be some IGF suppression but that can be circumvented with the use of exogenous GH.
Personally, I have a much harder time dialing in my AI dosages than I do with just 20mg/day of Nolva when on a blast.
