17-alpha-methylestradiol is the synthetic estradiol that comes from dianabol. I'm still trying to find out how much, usually, synthetic estradiol comes from a 10 mg pill.
So, if I'm on testosterone and dianabol, and I want to check my estradiol to see if it's too high, can I just order the typical estradiol test people usually do when on testosterone only, or do I have to specifically say I want to test 17-alpha-methylestradiol? I mean, does the synthetic estradiol show as just estradiol on blood test results?
On 200 and 300 mg testosterone a week, my estradiol level is within normal range. The problem is that I don't know if this is an indication that I'm NOT going to get gyno if I use dianabol without AIs, because gyno can be caused by different pathways such as the synthetic estradiol that may not shows as estradiol on blood test results. In this case, gyno won't be caused by my normal estradiol levels, but by my elevated synthetic estradiol levels.
Also, I don't know how potent the synthetic estradiol exactly is. For example, is a 20 mg dianabol dose a day high enough to cause a high elevation of the synthetic estradiol to the point where gynecomastia can occur?
For now, I'm using only tamoxifen for preemptive purposes. Tamoxifen occupies estrogen receptors in the chest, making them unavailable to estradiol and its synthetic version. So, if estradiol and the synthetic version are not too high, using only tamoxifen without AIs will be able to prevent possible gyno.
I have anastrozole on hand, but I don't want to use AIs unless I get high estrogen symptoms. If estrogen is at upper end or just a little bit elevated, AIs aren't worth the risk. Tamoxifen will do just fine, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, to get some average estimations, can you, guys, tell me how much dianabol you have used without also using AIs, and at what dose estrogenic side effects appeared in your case?
Thanks.
