Good morning guys,
Here’s my situation. I ran a short 6-week cycle — 250 mg of Test E.
It wasn’t my first cycle, but it was the first time I actually experienced low-test side effects.
When I decided to stop, I waited 2 weeks after my last injection and then started this PCT:
• 02/25 – Last injection
• 03/16 – Tamoxifen 20 mg twice a day (morning & night)
• 04/17 – Tamoxifen 20 mg once a day (night)
I’ve been running 20 mg/day up until now. Along with Tamox, I’ve also been taking since the start:
• Vitamin E – 1 g/day
• Tribulus + Maca – 5 g each/day
• Long Jack – 800 mg/day
Around week 5 after my last injection, my libido basically crashed to zero, along with some other annoying sides. It has improved a bit since then, but I still don’t feel 100%.
Yesterday (05/05/26), I got bloodwork done to check my hormones. It looks like my test has recovered (640 ng/dL), and FSH too, but some values look pretty off — especially LH and E2, both quite high.
So my main questions are:
How should I deal with high E2 while being natural? I don’t think it makes much sense to take an AI since I’m staying natural, but I feel like this might be what’s messing with my libido and energy.
Also, what could high LH indicate in this context? I would’ve expected it to be low since my HPTA was suppressed.
