Hey guys. Another longtime reader first time poster. Been lifting for 7 years straight now. Done several cycles in the past and currently in week 13 of my test eq cycle.
Some stats first:
26 yo
5'10
215lbs
10% bf
Running 600mg test e / 600mg e weekly. Started anavar week 10 @ 75mg ed. Hcg began week 4 @ 250 iu 2x weekly. Aromasin 25mg 3x weekly.
All in all the cycle has been great with little to no sides. A little acne here and there and sore nips for a few days but aromasin took care of that.
Fast forward to last week. The familiar terror of estrogen and gyno is upon me! I know the symptoms all too well and have some residual tissue from previous cycles that would not go away. I started on the letro quickly! Started @ .75mg ed and ramped up to 2.5mg. All the while maintaining my aromasin dose so as to have an overlap.
I don't care about my sex drive compared to the horror of getting gyno. So I've been on letro a little over a week now and not much if anything in terms of improvement. I plan to stay on this dose until the situation subsides. Some will ask why not nolva? Nolva never, ever did a damn thing for me.
I was going to finish my cycle at 14 weeks but now I'm a little confused as to what to do with this letro leading into pct. Any suggestions?
My question is.. Why would gyno decide to happen now?? What's changed from the beggining to the end of my cycle? I know its not my doses or anything like that. My suspicion is that since taking 450mg of saw palmetto in week 12 my body has been rid of any DHT, which is a known estrogen antogonist. So I stopped taking it for 2 days now. I'm hoping for the best here.
My apologies if this post is difficult or confusing to read as I am typing it from my blackberry.
I'm in need of some support here bros
