Signs of high / low estrogen

[Applehead23]

With all the artificial hormones and AI's and serms we put in our bodies, I was looking to get some feedback on some signs you all see either when estrogen is too high or Too low..

I know the obvious answer here is bloodwork, but in reality I'm
Not getting blood work done weekly.

For me it seems my joints are the best indicator when estrogen is low and I usually get acne when it is high.

Any other tells of high or low estrogen?

everyone is different however for the MOST part, NOT ALL THE TIME. high estrogen would result in water retention/bloat.. low estrogen would result in decrease in libido

estrogen should be kept in range at all times.. will make your recovery easier and will give you a nicer look, rather than a moon face

Like Steve said, Normal ranges should be your focus most of the time. You need some estrogen to make things work better, but too much is obviously bad. This is why we control it on cycle with aromatizing compounds

I've been on letro for a good 3 and a half months and I can sure as hell tell you the sides of low estrogen:

Trouble gaining both strength and muscle

Dried out joints

Shot sex drive

Mood issues and severe depression at times. Stress. Things that normally get to me a little are magnified 10x

Couldn't really tell you about high estro though

Yes, your mood for some can really get fcked up..no motivation or positive outlook on things, just being depressed. speaking from my experiences with letro

yep estrogen is a hormone WE NEED. unlike prolactin which can be carpet bombed into oblivion.

the biggest mistake AAS users make is crash their estrogen, especially in pct. which is why most of us on here are against stupid nolva/clomid pct's

Except for the fact clomid doesn't truely suppress estrogen, it increases it. While taking clomid a mans LH is greatly increased. This increase will cause a great increase in production of testosterone as well which will of course then be partially converted into estradiol.

Which is why I always recommend clomid + a low dose AI (aromasin) for pct.

Edit: For the record Clomid does have very slight anti e properties. But its ability to reduce estrogen is less than that of its ability to increase LH output ultimately leading to an increase in E2 levels.
