    Var question for femle

    I am not really sure where to post this tread so might be better suited somewhere else!

    Research points to low dosage of var and clean diet is effective for fat loss. I started a low dose 2.5mg of var and 2 days in have retained a lot of water! A lot. I am taking estrogen bc I had hysterectomy. Is var and estrogen a bad combo????
    a bad combo? Anyone????

    Excess Estrogen and AAS is never a good combo, imho. You may want to postpone this cycle until your Estrogen supplement is no longer necessary. Just a thought.

    That's what I thought but I will be an old lady when that happens and probably not give a damn about fitting into a size 2 .

    Water retention and elevated E2 are nearly non existant on Var...especially at that dose. I would look else where to uncover the issue. I highly doubt it's the Var.

    Thanks. Idk. Diet is clean. I dont use salt. Nothing else changed. Gals report bloat at higher dosages. I may just have to stop it and see what happens.

    At 2.5mg I would be very surprised if it is a cause. Monthy thing, water intake...maybe!

    I don't have monthly thing. My water intake is not too bad and I don't salt anything. It's perplexing to me too..... This is my first attempt at aas. So so sad

    My girlfriend was taking 5 mg ed and she definitely retained some water too. It wasn't too bad so she just went with it anyway. I've always had a hard time getting my mind around the women/AAS thing. She got pregnant while on Var so she's not taking it anymore, but I'm sure she'll resume after the baby's born.

    My wife was in your same shoes. She also had a hysteractomy and then jumped on var.. She was told to drop the estrogen pills or lower her dosage to a minimum while on var. This is what my wife did and worked great.. She was told Estrogen is bad either way as it get you bloated..

    i wouldn't think you taking estrogen would make u retained water because the estrogen your taking is just to restoring your normal estrogen levels so it wouldn't be Excess Estrogen right ? so why would u retained water maybe mess with the var dosage up it lower it to see what it dose to u don't stop it maybe give it a week or two to see what happens

    I've stated on here before that Anavar tends to cause women to bloat a bit.
    It likely has to do with glycogen loading and/or electrolyte balance.
    Honestly, it works a bit like Dbol or Drol for women.
    Just bear in mind that it won't cause you to gain fat, and that you will just be leaner when you come off if cutting (same principle as a guy cutting on test or anything else that causes water retention).

    I must be one of those chics with high sensitivity bc I took OTC diuretic last nite and the bloat is mostly gone. I am going to look into something else bc I can't be walking around feeling like I am in a fat suit with tree stumps for legs. This does not work for me!

    The other option is LASIX and var stack. Thoughts???

    You could try primo (oral or injectable). That shouldn't bloat you at all.

    Anavar gives you more bang for your buck, but primo is a better compound in the long run.

    For primo depot, 100mg weekly should be good.
    For primo ace (oral), I'd go with 3X that amount to see an equivalent effect.

    var and creatine mix? never heard of that maybe so even if true u would need a ton to retain water like that u need 5000mgs of creatine a day for a week maybe a little less for a lady to even work and she was on 2.5mg of var for 2 days i dont think thats it

    I'm certainly no expert, but from what I hear, Var, being trickier for some labs to source, is sometimes faked with winny, or dbol. Not so good for females. Could that cause bloat, as well?

    Fake var or not you should see a noticeable difference in vascularity within the first week on var imo
