I'm on week 9. Thanks for your help.

Are you taking some Nolva or do you think its not necessary at this point?

I was experiencing a little sensitivity the other day and i was running .5mg ED, so i bumped it to .75mg ED and the symptoms have dissapeared. Only use the nolva if you have to, i'd rather just up the dose of arimidex , that is if you have enough...

Well i know deca and eq are very similiar..so in this case since ur doing eq maybe u might be experiencing a start of gyno caused by progesterone instead of testosterone ..if this is the case u need something such as RU-486..but im not too sure, so bump this

EQ converts to estrogen, not progesterone...

Personally, I wouldnt be too worried, alot of peeps on this board are overly concerned with developing gyno. Yes, gyno is possible while on AS, but you have to realize that your body has to get used to higher amounts of test...maybe Im wrong, but I wouldnt be overly worried if I had itchy nips for a couple of days. See if it goes away in the next day or two--watch for other sides, swollen nips, discharge, etc...I just see so people getting all worried b/c there body is acting differently on AS. You are already taking the proper precautions, could it be mental? This is just an opinion, take it for what its worth. I just thought I would present a different take on this. Good Luck!

Just up the Liquidex dose to .75/ED till symptoms go away and keep upping it till they do. What kind of Liquidex do you have?

**Ajax** · 05-29-2002, 11:36 PM

Upping the Liquidex is a good idea.

When I get in that situation, I take a little Nolvadex for a few days to keep the itchiness/swelling at bay--if you have estrogen in your system and it's going to work, Liquidex won't stop the estrogen that's already formed--you need Nolvadex to block it. Take 20mg/day for a few days unitl the estrogen is metabolized out and the Liquidex kicks in. I am of the philosophy "better safe than sorry." Once you have gyno, the only solution is surgery...
