Having Low Estrogen

[Frankieperfect]

What are some of the first signs of having to little estrogen in your system? Limp dick? Loss of strength? Im taking 25mg of nolva and 1mg of arimidex ED and i dont care to have sex latlely(its been 2weeks on the anti-E's now)

Are you taking them alone or with an androgen?

Its pretty much impossible to totally elimiate estrogen, especially while on any aromatisable compound.

but yeah, there are issues with too low of estrogen, not sure of the actual threshold, however.

you can find out by backing off the adex to .5mg ed or so and dropping the nolva. Unless you are in PCT, then just drop the adex completely.

yes im on a deca test cycle, I think im gonnna drop to .5 on the arimidexED

 

[Paulo]

are you taking any measures to counter prolactin from the deca? Elevated Prolactin has a very pronounced effect on sex drive. Cabaser or bromo may be up your alley, or at the very least, some b6.

nope not takin none, but i will look into that, i do take a b-complex supplement though 3times a day.

I know exactly what you're talking about here.

Too low estro sides are loss of sex drive, some more aching in the joins and very slow strenght and size gains. Had this happen before when i used too much arimidex. .5 eod was too much, i reduced it to .25 EOD and it's bearable.

Arimidex destroys ALL estrogen in your system. I only use Nolvadex, as it only blocks some Estrogen receptors, but you still get the health benefits that your body requires from having estrogen in your blood stream. (Improved cholesterol profile, sex drive, etc.) Try taking it every other day, see if that helps.

It's does not destroy estrogen nor does it destroy ALL of the estrogen. It blocks the aromatose enzyme from doing it's job, but the effect in an ideal dose will be close to 90%. So taking a proper dose is important. Too much is not good as is too little.

The problem with nolvadex is that you still have all the estrgen circulating in your bloodsteam, but it's being selectively blocked. Now keep in mind that a lot of the estrogen produced and aromatised happens in the fat cells themselves, this is where blocking this action with a drig like Arimidex will make it easier to "dry" fat cells and make fat loss easier and more pernmanent.

k so like .5 mg of the arimidex EOD think willl fix problem

The downside of arimidex is that it can just about completely prevent aromatization (and thus estrogen production) if the dosage is too high. I don't use arimidex but from the posts I have seen on this board, 1mg/day is a high dosage.

0.25-0.5mg/day is more typical. Based on that I believe that too little estrogen has a high likelyhood of being your problem.
