PCT Results

[longBallLima]

So, PCT is supposedly over today. Got bloods last friday and here are the numbers:

Test, Serum 670
LH 9.0
FSH 4.3
Estradiol 39.3

estradiol is/was (friday) on the top of the reference range (7.6 - 42.6), anything to warrant extend my PCT or low enough to stop?

relevant info or not, i had a fever going the day i got my bloods. stomach bug i believe.

whatchu guys think?


thanks!

Could that estrogen number be your SERM?

[longBallLima]

[O.N.]

As im on the other side of the world i dont know your lab ranges as our ones are different can you post again with the ranges for me thanks.

Obviously you've been on a SERM without an AI. Lol. Estro is high. Take a low dose of an AI for a couple of weeks or more and it will drop the estro and maintain or enhance your test level, which looks ok but not excitingly high for just coming off a SERM.

Awesome, thanks burly! I'm good with the serm for now though, yeah?

Yep. Next time run an AI with your PCT. Mild dose, just enough to keep estro in a normal/low-normal range.

Your LH and FSH seems bit on higher end which is I'm almost certain result of SERM, most of SERMS have a quite long half-life and it takes a while for them to clear out of system. Personaly I would advice you to use a bit of AI for a few weeks, but dont obliterate your E2, other thing is E2 test are not very accurate- better go by symptoms of which REM sleep is best to gauge E2 levels.

funny, sleep is deep and full of dreams. im on intimidate, which is nmda, not sure how much that is responsible for the dreaming. following burly's recommendation, i started 10mgs exemestane today, planning to run ed, which i guess is pretty low. would you consider that enough?

see, i think i followed bad advice on this.

I read somewhere (not here, i'm sure) that an AI during PCT would drive estro way too low, which is obviously BS.

noob mistake. next time, i'll keep the AI during PCT for sure.

Thanks again burly!
