Hey guys what's up? Just wanted some opinions on ai usage. So I'm currently 5 weeks in on test e 250 twice a week for 500/week. I have aromasin on hand for ai but haven't really felt the need to use it? I haven't really had any estrogenic sides. I mean a few days if I woke up feeling extra water bloat I'd take a dose. All and all barely used it in 5 weeks. What I want to know is are other people using an ai even if they aren't experiencing any estrogenic sides? I'm focused on saving it for pct. any thoughts, questions or concerns?
Need for A.I.?

I take it regardless eod while on. I think I have read some guys don't but is this your first cycle? you may not know what estro sides feel like if so. I know I didn't, and then I took it ed for a week just to feel what it was like to have crashed estro as well.

My dad has never taken anything,and he is close to 68 years old, and neither do I. BUT I also have never used 500mg test. Our cycles are mild and time on=time off. My longest is 12 weeks unless I am using eq or primo, and when I use those my test is 300.My max is 400 with 300 being the norm. You also need to keep notes and pay attention to yourself....everyday while on cycle. If you are not sure then you can do bloods.

Its hard to go just on feel man. Id start taking your aromasin asap 12.5mg eod. Is this your first cycle? If I were you, I'd also get bloodwork done to see your levels. If you're on 500mg a week and 5 weeks in, no ai, I'm betting your estrogen is way up there.

Second cycle. First cycle was test e 400 10 weeks. This go around I bumped up to 500. What I have noticed is I think I may be holding a bit more water. I was able to stay harder last cycle. I just had bloods done a month before the start of this cycle so I'm due again. I actually just now took a dose. I think I'll take your advice and at least take it eod for a week or 2 and judge from there. Then again maybe your right as well where I don't know exactly what I'm looking for as far as high estrogen. Thing is, there's no Gyno and I don't feel very much water retention. Any other tell tale signs you guys can help with that I should look for? Also would adding dim/calcium d-glucurate make any difference to throw in?

no water retention but you say you are bloated? def take any protection you can man before the sides start it is just a risk I wouldn't take

post your pre cycle blood work since you took one prior. And just because there is no gyno does not mean your E is not elevated,

Yes run the aromisin at min dose 12.5 eod get bloods and no DIM is use garbage its not bioavailable at all complete marketing gimmeck
I would not ever recommend going by feel bud. You aren't going to feel anything until you start having estrogen symptoms and by that point it's too late and an uphill battle to fight. I'd recommend sticking to the 12.5mg EOD aromasin from the start and you are already behind on that even

Battling estro sides should never be something you have to do if you run your AI correctly. Taking an AI is not a reactionary measure to something you "feel," it should be considered preventative maintenance to keep from ever having the sides. Bloodwork is pretty much key on every cycle bro, but consider it almost mandatory when trying to figure out dosages and how your body is reacting to certain compounds. We all react differently and with different severity to each compound, so without bloodwork on cycle, everything is guesswork. Once you start taking nandrolones, you'll see the difference in how you react to elevated prolactin vs estrogen, and without doing bloods you won't even know what might be causing your sides, or if what you are taking for them is even working.
Also, one thing you aren't factoring here is that you're on a long ester compound. Assuming you didn't run any oral kicker, your test is just now building to peak blood levels at weeks 4-5 or so, so your body hasn't really had a reason to aromatize or try to increase production of estro until right about now. Believe me, you can go to bed fine and wake up with puffy nips and lumps. Take the aromasin and run bloods man.

Well thanks guys that about sums it up for me. Glad I have this site! As much as I may come off as dumb, it's cause I'm learning and appreciate everyone's input. Also heard conflicting views from other forums in the past. This site hasn't steered me wrong yet! Very greatful for everyone's help without judgement. Thanks again
perfectly said... its not something you leave to chance, wait for, judge on "feeling" etc... that's the worst thing one could do... it certainly wont hurt but will absolutely help to be preventative and stop something before it has a chance to even occur.. i would never leave it to chance...
