[GHODT55]

what are the side effects of completely blocking estrogen for a couple months? In men.

Exactly how do you plan to do that?

Is it even possible? May or not help you any OP, I have no idea maybe someone more knowledgeable can jump in, but, cutting out soy products and upping fats to between .5-.6g per lb bw seemed to have a huge effect on my mood and emotions.

Dude, you need to relax and have a soy latte.

heard its bad for your test levels in the long run, not a good idea tbh

letrozole blocks up to 98% of estrogen and in some cases blocks it completely

^ Is that what your gynecologist told you?

Muscle growth would suck because estrogen is important for that

The only reason I could think of that you would want to do that is to prevent further growth of estrogen dependent glandular tissue. Keeping in mind that once the cells differentiate, further inhibition of the hormonal stimulus is useless. in laman terms, you gotta block the estradiol stimulus at the cell receptor before you get manboobs.

You could get on a selective Aromataze inhibitor such as Anastrozole, which would decrease your serum Estradiol by an average of 37% when 1mg is taken bi-weekly according to this study >>> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15001605

Estradiol is important for sexual function, completely inhibition is likely to cause diminished libido.

My doc has me on Anastrozole 1mg biweekely because my testosterone was 1540ng/dl (well above the 99th percentile) which caused my estradiol to be 48pg/mL (also well above the 99th percentile). I have never taken anabolic steroids, but both my grandparents died of prostate cancer, which is the result of excess Androgens and androgen responsive prostate tissue.

Anastrozole didn't affect my total T, but it increased my free T from 180pg/ml to 211pg/ml, my estradiol decreased to 31pg/mL.

So if you figure out why you wanna get on an aromatase inhibitor and then choose to do so, get baseline blood work, and after taking the drug for a few weeks get another blood work done to see the affects.
Hope that helps.

youre better off with an AI if you wanna control estrogen levels.


Your HDL levels will go down and LDL cholestorol levels will go up for one
ive heard of joint pain in some people

toremifene is a more potent estrogen inhibitor than Anastrozole, yet HDL goes up and and LDL goes down in people who take it >>> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21638048

This same study found that HDL and LDL remain stable for those who took Anastrozole...

men need estrogen too, lack may cause osteoporosis
