Quitted TRT 7 weeks ago, getting blood work, should I keep taking arimidex?

Join DateJan 2013Posts31

Long story short, after 9 month of self-TRT who didn't seems to really improve symptoms despite perfect bloodwork, I decided to quit. I had test level of 350-450 before starting, but a lot of symptoms similar to low test. Pretty much every plants/product who lowered prolactin cured my symptoms by 85% pre TRT, but I alway stopped taking them because they acted like strong diuretic, making me flat and slighty dehydrated (which is a dumb way to stop, now that I think about it.)

9 month later, on trt, my symptoms are even worse (energy and libido), unless I let estrogen creep back up than I have some energy but end up with puffy nips and still weak libido(which I think comes from a raise in serotonin). those plants who uses to work don't anymore. So I decided to stop cold turkey, no pct ( gonna get chit for that) for 7-8 weeks, get blood work and see from there what should I do.

I don't really feel better since quitting TRT, but not that much worse too. thing is I seem to keep aromatizing a lot ( water retention, severe acne, puffy nipples), and arimidex seems to get that down, but do kinda make me feel like chit evertime I take it.

My question is, should I stop taking arimidex before blood work to not screw result or should I keep taking it if I see symptoms?

I'm gonna test for Test, free test, lh, fsh, e2, prolactin, thyroid.

hmm....how far apart were your injections?

also, if u were on for 9 months you are gonna need awhile before you test your shiit to get a normal reading.

And self TRT? Why would you do that? All you have to do if poke around and make more phone calls to find a willing doc. Be willing to drive and hour too, its your hormones your talking about and i dont care how long you hang on these boards, you still cant interpret bloodwork accurately. Maybe a dumb doctor couldnt eather, but if you may learn something from him. There have been times where a certain doctor wasn't smarter than me, but he knew maybe one thing i didnt. It gave me something else to factor in. You need a professional's opinion

actually for 2 years I went from doc to endricologist to doc, never found nobody who wanted to help. I had enough to feel like chit and wanted to try.

Was doing e4d injection.

What do you mean in gonna need awhile before you test you chit to get a normal reading? You mean to recover, or that I might still have exogenous test inside my blood who haven't yet clear out from prolonged use?

Female Blood Work prior to 1st cycle

My wife is going to run a cycle of Anavar in the beginning of 2014. We want to make sure we get the proper blood work done prior so we have something to compare to afterwards. I am fairly familiar with the male tests but not so much with the female.

Her diet is on cue, weight trains 4x a week and mild cardio every day. She weighs in at 118 and is 5'3. She is 35 years old. Hard for me to say her bodyfat but she is fairly toned, not big muscular but lean muscular.

Dosing for cycle -

2.5mg Day 1 and 2
5mg day Day 3-7
10mg - Day 8-49
5mg - Day 50-54
2.5 - Day 55 and 56

She will also be taking fish oil, D3, and Nac 600mg 2x a day.

Any input is appreciated on any part of this post but the blood work is my biggest issue at this time.

vasodilators and blood thinners while on tren A/test E??

What are you talking about?
Why do you need blood thinners, niacin, and magnesium?
You're listing all these meds/solutions without even telling us what possible side effect you're trying to avoid/treat.
And taking albuterol for vasodilation (BP reduction is the goal, I'd assume) is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard, as the increase in cardiac output dwarfs any small vasodilation effect.ok, albuterol is out. you're right, that was a stupid idea

nothing is going on right now, i'm just learning some stuff.

i would be trying to avoid the thickening of blood that accompanies AAS use and the anti cardio effects of trenbolone . i'll also be trying to make sleeping a little easier. i hAte loosing sleep. it's one of the things that really gets under my skin. nutrient delivery and waste disposal is also one of my concerns; a small vein has less to work with.

here is a quote from Austinite's thread, My First Cycle: Planning and Executing a Successful First Cycle , Thickening of the blood is very dangerous and steroids will thicken your blood. The increased RBC production will result in higher hematocrit levels. This number comes back with your CBC panel. It is best to keep this close to 50%. Once it reaches 55% or higher, you're at risk of a blood clot, extreme fatigue, high blood pressure, headaches and a host of other concerns. To resolve this issue, you'll need to donate blood. This will lower your hematocrit levels. Be very cautious, because if your level reach 55%, most donation centers will reject/refuse a donation from you. Then you'll have to get a prescription from a doctor for a therapeutic phlebotomy. This is why mid-cycle blood work is important.

i want to protect my heart and sleep easy, or as easy as i possibly can.

sorry about that. i assumed that i was going to be understood without having to say that AAS raise bp, and increase cholesterol. Tren has some anticardiac effects. i get lost in my own head sometimes. listen to this when writing your reply http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LWM3...I3&shuffle=466 ; it's "Amor Por Madonna"
