TESTOSTERON AND ESTROGEN

[dodger]

i have a question and T and E2 ?

i was wandering what you guys think,when i was on trt a couple years ago at around 100-150mg a week,taking the shot once a week,after so long,my face would break out with ACNE very severly,soon as i stop the T my face would clear up and smooth instantly....my E2 also got really high

my question is,what do you think would cause all this bad acne,is it that im sensitive to androgens or is it the high E2 that is causing the bad acne?...or could it be low cortisol as well?

do you think taking arimidex would help bring down E2 but also keep ACNE under control while being on T

Acne is genetic....the body is very complex...you may have a perfect body in every sense....but the one that your body may lack is fighting acne....just the way it is....

Thats like me, perfect vision, hearing, smart, born with muscles and six pack from very young, but I was prone to acne....

Some Celebrities have the same problems weather they take gear or not.....The solution???.....Do what they do....and no...they don't take proactive solution;D

They get skin and/or chemical peels!!! You can do it at a doctors office, but it costs hundreds of dollars.....I order at home skin peels from various sites...I'll give a few....never have to worry about acne any more, and in fact I have better skin then male models....Just make sure to also use 100% hyaluronic acid moisturizer....It's like magic

Every problem has a solution....make a list of all you issues or problems, Google one at a time.

If you want any advice on skin peels or what I use PM me.....

It's most likely the estrogen... start taking aromasin aka exemestane.

[g101]

do not ELIMINATE estrogen .. it's not good to have too high or too low as it affects muscle growth + sex drive and a few other things

you want to control it

thanx guys for the replys,

mega man,no i never have skin problems,its very clear and smooth always...its just when i went on the T at 150 mg a week once a week and after a month,my face started breaking out with bad acne,i hated that,so as soon  as i stopped the T,my face cleared up instantly in a week,so the acne was caused by T or ecessive E2.....E2 went very high

yes i know that g101,thanx for the reminder,should be around 20 on E2 sensitive test,i know shgb comes into play as well....so do you think its the high estrogen causing acne more than  the T as well,thanx

Estrogen is important for a few things, but NOT for muscle growth. That is broscience.

Agreed. Yes, you need some estrogen but no one needs the amount in their body that often comes from steroid use. Absolutely, if you suppress some of your estrogen your weight is not going to go up as high as it would if you didn't but it's not going to make that big of a difference, no one is suppressing all estrogen 100% and who cares about weight to begin with....weight means nothing and the mirror means everything.

As for the acne, your body is used to testosterone, after all, you make it. In your case you're not making enough and if you're on a TRT plan you should simply be replacing what you're no longer making. However, the influx of a large amount of testosterone all at once may be causing your breakouts. I'm not sure if this would work but you could give it a try...if you're being prescribed 100mg per wk, try injecting 50mg twice per wk instead and see if this makes a difference. Say 50mg on Mon. and 50mg on Thur.

Arnold is right. I guess u need to learn your body for me i break out when im clean never on hormones lol... It sux becuz acne makes u so self conscious and less confident esp if ur like me and get numbers everytime u go out lol

[dodger]

a quick question,i just got a prescription for arimidex....but shit,,4 pills at 1mg = 38.00..is this what most of

you guys pay,is there any other solutions or sites or links,i was just talking with pharmacist and said they

dont carry generic anastrazole kind....gotta be cheaper than this crazy price..im in ontario,canada...pm me if

youd like,thanx

[TheOne]

Get the generic, anastrazole, same thing but much cheaper.

Is anastozle at .5 mg every other day good for water bloat?  I don't get acne and I seem to hold water in the right places body wise but my face gets puffy as fuck. 

Would aridex be good for moon face?

It depends on how much aromatazation you have going on. A simple basic cycle, probably. A stack with a butt load of aromatizing gear at large doses...maybe not, will depend on the guy too.

What are all the estrogen variants to test for on a lab sheet? I know Estradiol is one of them, what else?

how do you know your E2 got very high? did you have labwork done to justify this or are you assuming? on 100mg of T, you should not need any anti-E's.

Haha!! Thatta boy!

because of my blood tests,especially when the time i was on T,my E2 was really high,im in canada,so our

testing for E2 sensitive is not available but the standard test is,it was way over top..in USA ,it should be

near the 20 mark.yup only on 100mg at that time,but only was doing 1 shot a week,maybe shouldve split the

dose into 2-3.after a month,i started getting lots of acne on face,,which i NEVER  ever get when not

doing T..as soon as i stopped the T at that time,acne was gone in 12 days
