Took Aromasin again for about 4 days and started feeling worse so shelfed it.
How much did you take? Due to the method of action, Aromasin takes a lot longer to kick-in then a couple days…
Here is an update I took this in the morning at night I took 1mg of foremestanezol (formestane) before sleeping. I have been on formestane for a week or so and at that point in which I did the test I had pain in my sholder which usually happens when I take too much anti estrogens.
Anyway as you can see my free e2 has gone up
e1 has gone up
Progesterone has gone up
DHT has been reduced - Formestane is a mild DHT inhibitor.
Free cortisol is still way too low. Every time I do a blood cortisol test my levels are towards the top of the range so this is an issue with free cortisol not total cortisol. Estrogen increases cortisol binding.
I have also previously tested my blood levels of e2 when taking letrozole and ATD and they fell quickly so this is confusing. I have never tested blood e2 on formestane.
When I take a smaller dose I get morning woods every day and feel a little more energy but nothing great.
Formestane is said to lower SHBG and it can convert to an androgen.
Something is up here. I am now trying out epistane and after that I may try another e2 siliva test when on a stronger AI.
vicentv,
milions of years of evolution, the human body is very unknown yet.
I gave up using drugs to reduce estradiol, the body must be healing itself.
Have you tried water fasting?
I’ve done several fasts 3 to 4 days. I’m very surprised with the results. I’m preparing for a larger one. I can tell you that I got a great improvement.
Fasting seems to be a common link between the few recovery stories here. Can you describe the fasting protocol, a bit? And can you describe the improvement, after the fast?
I know temporary (shorter then a day) fasting spikes growth hormone, which effects boners and drive positively. I did this myself for years. But after a meal is eaten, the libido and erectile benefits would fade.
Yes I have taken other anti estrogens but this test is indicating they are doing noting to free estrogen levels. The question is why? A believe at this stage another metabolite could be being detected by the test or that a metabolite is binding to SHBG and as a result not enough free E is being bound to SHBG. I know of not other ways to explain my test results and symptoms as of now.
I do not really think my hormones are this way because the body is trying to fix itself. I believe it is this way as a result of whatever fin damaged.
vicentv, sorry for this post, i´dont want to write off context posts…
the protocol of fasting I did was try to make several jejums . For now 4 days was the maximum. I made many. Each time I felt better.
in fact, the benefits can only notice 1-3 weeks after refeeding. My refeed is only fruits. After the second day add proteins like chicken.
I felt that sleep has definitely improved point to improve my job performance, greater concentration. started appearing morning erections (I always had and continue to have nocturnal erections).
my libido has improved the visual part. I am extremely attracted to women. Unfortunately, the sensitivity in the penis still has not improved. Gotta have only 1 day greater excitement and pleasure. Overall, I have little sensitivity.
day refeed was extremely intense emotionally. I felt a lot of emotion. Thing that had not felt since childhood. with PFS I’m usually a robot, no emotions.
my testosterone is high, and returned to normal before the fast. I have low body fat. I have a lot of strength and muscle.
sorry for bad english.
E2 control is very complex, even if you use the same drug with the same dosage your E2 will never get totally estable levels
recommend Adex .25mg ED or .50 EOD
Cyp or Test E aromatize very much, try switching Sust
