to run an AI or not to run an AI

[jdusmc1371]

For a first cycle should you take an ai or wait until you are for sure getting sides. And do you continue taking it until the end of your cycle or just intill sides effects go away??

I would wait until you get sides. I figure why take it if you don't need it yet? .02

Blood work will tell you positively but if you're running a cycle and not just low doses like TRT dose of test you will need an AI.

make sure you start low dose and work your way up until sides ( assuming gyno?) have gone away. I personally would keep taking until sides are totally gone. cycle time really has nothing to do with time it takes to recover from sides.

Go ahead and outline the cycle right here so we can all dial it in together.
Age height weight bodyfat goals ?
Test E or C 500mg per week for 14 weeks standard issue ?

Last cycle I ran (Test only) I figured I would start the cycle without an AI and start it when if I developed any sides. BIG mistake. Around week 4 my nipples started itching and I got a little crabby. I got all paranoid and started dosing Adex at 1 mg/ED. That was too much...lost a bunch of water and lost libido. Then I backed down to .5 mg/EOD and that was perfect. This go around, I'm starting the .5 mg at the first pin. Too much damn headache.

I use aromasin at 12.5mg eod when on cycle, I figure why chance it. I then run bloods to make sure everything is in check.

Balancing estrogen will set the pace for your cycle. You shouldnt feel like shit and be lethargic. Balance it out and you will enjoy your cycle
