Bloodwork

[Superjohn3]

Age: 30's
First cycle - Test E 500mg a week
Length - 15 weeks
Results - +30 lbs

Reduced to a 200mg cruise two weeks ago which I had planned to do for 8 weeks before going back to 500mg.

Comparing results with my previous pre-cycle bloodwork I notice very minor changes. LabCorp shows everything in the Female Hormone Panel is currently in range with 4 exceptions:

Test Serum is 1640 HIGH
LH is 0.1 LOW
FSH is <0.2 LOW
Estradiol is 102.4 HIGH

I have A-dex on hand, but never had itchy nips so my usage was not consistent. Does the high E call for something to bring it down? Any advice? Thanks in advance guys.

Wow 30lbs? I would be scared to add that much weight. Interested to hear answers to the E question.

From what I've read, between 20-30 is typical in terms of response for a first cycle. I am by no means a mass monster and probably wasn't close to my "genetic max" but I struggle with borderline low T and figured I'd give it a shot.

Weight gain wasn't too watery, although I'm sure I'll drop 7-10 over the course of the next few weeks. I'm recomping currently with a pretty solid amount of cardio.

If you poke around on the website, a lot of people only suggest an AI if you are experiencing side-effects you find bothersome (gyno, acne, water retention, flippy floppy dick, etc...)

Thanks for the confirmation. I've read that which is why I didn't use the A-dex frequently. The first few days of the cycle I "thought" I had itchy nips, so I took .25 EOD. The feel subsided. Acne was very mild throughout the cycle.

I guess my main question was, what is too high when it comes to E?
