Can adex cause erection problems?

[J-S]

Hi I'm currently into my 4rd cycle(a small one).
Test E at 500mg a week + 50mg proviron a day.
I'm thinking of adding 1/4 adex every 3 days.

But here is the thing I'm fairly lean under 10% 5'8 185lbs 29 yrs old. So I dont think I need it ( I do have it on hand though).

My first cycle was 500mg sust 500mg EQ + 50mg proviron a day. I used adex at 1/4 and got limp dick for a few days following the adex.

Would this be caused by the fact that my estrogen is already low and would not need the adex?

If your getting ED from Arimidex, its because your lowering the estrogen too much... Im one of the fortunate that doesnt have to take an AI, my estrodiol is naturally low... so when it raises during cycle, its doesnt raise enough to cause me problems... is 1/4 adex E3d mean .25 mg E3D, cause if so, go to E4D... But it could be the exact opposite bro, your Estrogen may be too high and you may need to up the dosage and frequency.... Bloods are the only way to tell... You should get your estradiol checked....

To add to above, if the estrogen is too high, you would encounter other estro side effects. If there are none, it will be that you are demolishing your estro.

My 2 cycles after I did not use any AI and never had any problems no bloat, good libido, no itchy nipples and I still dont have any problems on this one now which is why I was wondering because it was always following the adex that I had the problems for a few days and I guess I just been reading too much and got worried that if I dont use an AI i'll catch gyno.

was just curious to see peoples thoughts.

There are no cookie cutter steroid cycles bro, it's all personal to you. If you successfully cycled with no estro problems, why jump on the bandwagon and start an AI, when your body is clearly not stressed by the estro increase? Plus, the proviron acts as an anti estrogen anyway (or so i've read, i've never used it), so you definitely wont need the AI it if you are tolerant anyway.

Just keep the AI until they become necessary, if they become necessary that is. Some guys just dont get the sides.

Beware though, if you are running gear that causes progesterone related side effects, you may not be so tolerant.

Good luck to you.

You do know that provirone is lowering estrogen and progestrin right??

I do know now from personal experience that aromasin can cause some issues with your crank if you dose it too frequently.

But yes if you have always been successful with no AI and dont have issues with excess water weight ect from estrogen then dont even bother with it.

 

[J-S]

yes I do!lol I just read that sometimes proviron wasn't enough I guess in my case its working fine.

I did tren last cycle and had bromo on hand in case of progesterone and didn't need it either.

thanks for the help! I'll still be careful and watch for signs.

Lucky bastard lol. If someone enters the room i'm in with some steroids i get itchy nipples. Really does suck being gyno prone.

Ouch...that sucks ass bro

I dont get any gyno issues even at a solid dose but I do tend to start retaining water after a while.

I even got gyno from beastdrol lol, receptor crossover apparently, and i aromatised a bit from taking a total test booster, phytoserms it was. I'm really prone.

I just need to keep my AI on hand for maintenance, and then do a solid pct!

From personal experience I get skin flushing from mid chest up through my traps and in my face if any decent dose of AAS is involved. Its just increased blood flow. If I even look at a weight it gets worse.

Good to know! it doesn't hurt or anything, just people ask my why I'm so red in the middle of winter!

Run an ai like Aromasin for long term. Time it right 12.5mg every other day and you are good. suicidal aromatase inhibitors like Aromsine/liquid stan/ forma-stanzol lower the amount of estrogen your body makes by about 40% at this does .. even a slight does of letro or adex will reduce it twice as much with more side effects... Only crushing estrogen will effect sex drive ( when it comes to estrogen that is) Other hormones within the loop effect sex drive much more.
