I've been trying to look all over, and none of the profiles i've seen have discussed whether or not Aromasin (Exemestane) reduces Progesterone alongside the Estrogen. I have used Aromasin before and I love it, it's definitely my favorite AI and because I plan on using Nandrolone Phenylpropionate later on, I want to use Aromasin during the cycle to reduce progesterone. I just don't know if Aromasin does that. Anyone know?
i don't think so ur gonna have to look in ferma(bromo).... aromasin is an AI that reduces the conversion of estrogen only...
I heard Letro does it. Letro is pretty harsh I heard, though. It's always dose dependant so i'd use letro, but the problem I still have with letro is that it doesn't permanently deactivate the enzyme like Aromasin does.
Now, from what I have read, Bromocriptine is like a Nolvadex for progesterone. Is this true? I'd like to stop progesterone in the first place from being produced, not just merely block it from attaching to receptors.
im pretty sure bromo is acts as an AI and not as a SERM in that sense... im almost positive that it blocks the conversion instead of taking the place in the receptor....
my buddy merc is in this thread im sure hell chime in.....
As far as I know, type I aromatase inhibitors do not work by E2 pathway. Type II such as letro will help. I've also had experience with phenyl and both AIs. Aromasin did not have any effect in my circumstance
wow pheedno back around huh??.... how you doin man...Quote:

Not only is it a dopamine inhibitor, but it also reduces serum growth hormone by 50% in over half of patients that use it, as it is a med for acromelegy.
I'd run a small dose of letro every 3 days with a daily dose of 300mg of vitamin b6 to reduce prolactin. This way you're attacking from a different pathway
AH okay. So my understanding was wrong. What I thought was nandrolone is converted into progesterone the same way testosterone is converted into estrogen. Or is this still the case?

I have very little understanding of nandrolone and 19-nor steroids and the whole progesterone issue, so i'm confused right now. So, nandrolone stimulates the body to produce prolactin? What I want to do is keep prolactin levels down via letro and vitamin B6?

Letrozole of course inhibits production by this pathway, thus inhibiting progestinic activity
iv read that it increases gh. wha are your thoughts on this?Quote:
