    Question anti-e for a female not on gear

    Ok,

    In all seriousness this question, as silly as it may sound, is not a joke.

    A female friend of mine is wondering how an anti-estrogen would affect her water retention from birth control. She has put on 20lbs of water weight, and I mentioned that anti-estrogens are used in people who use gear to combat water retention. So we’re curious would be it be unwise for her to take let’s say 10mg a day of Nolvadex ?

    She’s not a fat arse, and she does work out. She recently hurt her knee playing soccer, so her cardio exercise is now very limited.

    Thanks in advance guys.

    birth control pills are generally mixtures of estrogen and progesterone. adding an anti estrogen would probably render the pill useless, and cause pretty extreme hormonal fluxuations.

    adding an anti e would basically make her body think it was in menopause.. not a good thing.

    only in a really high dose. women are perscribed low doses of anti estrogens on occasion for things like nipple sensitivity.

    Cool, thanks.

    She’s a nut job anyway, don’t want her all hormonal. She’d be like my ex.
