But, i don't think her bloating is related to this. In last cycle she did Winstrol 75mg/week with T3 50mcg/ED, Nolva 10mg/ED and she added 10 days before competition, Proviron 50mg/ED. Now she stopped immediately Proviron and gradually she's tapering out Winstrol, T3 and Nolva. She increased carbs at 70 gr./ED now and she's bloating and holding a lot of water; her arms seems to be without muscles and are soft and flat.. she's very depressed.

In past, when she did Test Prop 50mg/week and Winstrol at 75mg/week for 6 weeks and stopped them without tapering, she bloated very quickly in face, low abdomen, ankles, arms etc.

Now i wonder what this bloating is bound to. I thought about cortisol and/or estrogens rebound, but i don't know if aldosterone is involved in this process. It's not usual a female to bloat in this way after stopping a cycle, even without tapering the compounds.

If there's someone could give some elucidations it about, i would be very grateful to him/her, because she's very depressed it about.

Thank you so much in advance for your time.
Not an expert on female gear use but ...

Did she adjust her diet as she changed her T3 dosages and gradually tweak macros?

There's a rebound effect to a degree in women for T3 if they don't reverse diet correctly. John meadows has a pretty good podcast on this.

Could also be an estrogen issue, tested via bloodwork.

Perhaps a female member has more information.
