Actually, nandrolone does convert to estrogen at roughly 20% the rate of test (and the the number is only this low because it has much more affinity for the 5a-r enzyme than aromatase). Not much, but when you take its progestigenic activities into account, this is where the bloat that many experience comes from (its interaction with prg and prl receptors increases the effect of estrogen in the body, both from the nandrolone itself, and any aromatising compounds stacked with it).
