Estrogen Control On Cycle

[dangerboy857]

I'm 3.5 weeks into my Test E/Anavar cycle. Test E dosage is 300mg/week. Things are good so far except that I HAVE GAINED FOURTEEN POUNDS IN 3 WEEKS.

Other than bloodwork and gyno (not an issue for me), what are the best indicators that your estrogen is high? My mood and temperament seem normal, other than almost getting almost misty eyed at the end of Fruitvale Station (highly recommend).

I increased my Aromasin intake this week from 12.5 mg 2 days a week the first week to MWF the 3rd week and this week I intend to make it M-F @12.5mg.

Also, how does high estrogen effect ability to lose fat? I'm assuming it makes it much harder. Any recommendations or advice?

Higher estrogen will cause you to retain more water, resulting in bloat and more weight on the scale. High estrogen does make fat loss very difficult, and will contribute to more fat gain.

Your diet may also be a big factor in why you gained a lot of weight

bloodwork will be the only accurate way to show where your estro levels are...

were you extremely undersized when you started the cycle? are you sure you are actually taking anavar? I have seen a lot of anavar faked bro...

It could be water, or maybe went overboard with your diet too soon. I made the mistake of really cranking up my calories too early and gained a few lbs of fat in the first 3 weeks of my cycle. After that, no fat gain and I am eating like a horse.

I use a bioimpedance bodyfat monitor and while they are not overly accurate if you use it every day (like first thing in the morning after your piss) you will get a better handle on if you are gaining fat or not.

My diet has been really clean and I'm running a caloric deficit. Averaging around 2000 calories per day, meals built around lean protein. No junky carbs, lots of veggies and fiber. Healthy fats, other than the occasional 2 slices of bacon in my breakfast. My bodyfat % weekly average however has climbed from 12% to 15% in 3 weeks.

My source for Anavar is reputable and their Anavar has been highly acclaimed. My best guess is that my estrogen is high from the Test E, but I thought 300mg a week would be low enough that I shouldn't expect too many side effects from it.

Thanks for chiming in and trying to help me figure this out.

if the test is strong enough then even at that dose, your body could react that way...

Why is gynecomastia not an issue for you? clarify please. Sounds like you need to do a bloodwork.

I just meant that I have never had any gyno issues. I'm most concerned about the other effects of estrogen.
