Figured there’s a lot of good people out here that may not be following my log who could offer their advice. Both good and bad it’s all good!
E2 is smashed down to 5 pg/ml. I would have never known had it not been for the bloodwork. Couple of questions and yes everyone reacts differently:
What kind of turnaround time am I looking at?
Anything to assist raising E2?
What adjustment to dosage do you suggest?
Lesson learned: stick to 2:1 ratio and then adjust post bloodwork. Currently in the middle of week 10. Took bloods middle of week 8. Weeks 4-9 where I wasn’t 2:1 listed below. No longer on Tren.
Week 4-6
Test Cyp 400
Tren Ace 160
EQ 240
NPP 210
Week 7-8
Test Cyp 500
EQ 360
Tren 200
NPP 300
Week 9
Tren 250
Test 625
EQ 450
Shoot from the hip guess:
Test 600
NPP 400
EQ 300
EQ smashes E2 much more than Primo.
Significantly.
I get it now lol! Im probably around 15% body fat. I definitely should have started off 2:1 but it is what it is.
3:1 damn I’m trying to not stay under 300 EQ but definitely don’t want 900 test
Use something else as the main anabolic driver then brother. Get you test dose high enough to optimize e2 and use eq as a lever to do so if high aromatisation is and issue.
Push something like masteron as the additional anabolic load as it doesnt convert to e2. If high dht is a problem for you then something like npp can be useful if you arent over sensitive to progestenic compounds.
A major thing so many people miss here with using eq is 1, its much easier to lower e2 then it is to bring it up.
Leveraging a low dose ai while we adjust levels is less hostile then over shooting eq and nuking estrogen.
Something that is always missed also is there is no set ratio for an individual even when you have found a ratio that works at a particular dose.
I'll explain,
Eq isn’t just sitting there neatly balancing out your estrogen based on a fixed ratio. It might feel like that at a certain dose, but once you start pushing things up or down, the whole dynamic changes.
Aromatisation from testosterone isn’t a straight line. It’s more like a curve. You might handle 300 test sweet, bump to 500 and suddenly estrogen climbs way harder than expected. That doesn’t mean the compound changed… it means you’ve hit a different part of your aromatisation curve.
So if you were running, say, a 2:1 test:eq ratio and it felt perfect at one dose, that same ratio at a higher/lower dose can feel completely different. Estrogen might run away, or in some cases you might even feel too dry depending on how everything interacts in your system.
That’s why relying on ratios is a bit of a trap.
What actually matters is understanding your response across multiple doses:
Where you feel stable
Where estrogen starts climbing faster
Where sides kick in
Because there’s usually a point where things shift quickly rather than gradually.
So instead of chasing a perfect ratio, you’re better off learning your own aromatisation curve and adjusting based on how you respond at each level.
