One quick question for you War! I'm a total noob mind you, so, the fore mentioned question may very well be a dumb one!2) Use an AI if you know you're gyno prone. Now Adex on cycle is the same basic concept as using Letro, the difference being that it doesn't inhibit as much estrogen as Letro. The problem here is finding out the hard way if you're Estrogen Related Side Effect Prone (i say estrogen related side effect, because there are more side effects than just gyno such as, lethargy, suppressed gains, suppressed sex drive, acne, bloating etc..). The only way i know how to see if youre ERSEP is the old fashioned way, run a cycle. No sides, no worries! Obviously if you don't follow the first set of rules (above) you'd be best advised to use an AI just in case.
3) If you do get ERSE's, then begin administering Nolvadex immediately! Nolvadex is a SERM. It selectively will block the estrogen from binding to the receptors in the breast, now the circulating estrogen can still be elevated, it just wont have the ability to bind to the receptors in the breast and cause breast growth, i.e. gyno! This making Nolvadex effective in blocking the estrogen and stopping unwanted sides such as gyno. Or in the case of gyno beginning or already occurring, it will stop the symptoms from worsening.
If I'm already using Adex on cycle but still see ERSE's (Gyno, namely), do I then start Nolvadex and discontinue Adex? Or do I use both for the remainder of the cycle? Or would the appropriate dosage of Adex eliminate the likelyhood of ERSE's all together? (planning a 10 week, test-E at 350mgs)
btw, I'm not on cycle yet.
Thanks War.
EDIT: I don't have any reason to believe that I may be "ERSEP". I don't know my body fat % but I am quite lean and am fairly sure it's under 10%. I'd like to use the AI just in case as I am not interested in bloating, adding to much fat and of course, gyno. I understand that this may reduce the effectiveness of the test somewhat. I'm looking to add 10 - 15lbs of quality keepable muscle in 10 weeks time.

Maybe u can include info covering erse's, prevention, etc while taking a 19-nor on cycle. Didnt see much if any info on 19-nors and what to do if erse pop up. From my basic understanding if you get erse while on cycle say with test enth and deca, using a serm like nolva would only make matters worse. I also understand the best way is to take .5mg arimidex ed until erse's start to subside, then reduce to .25mg arimidex eod for rest of cycle. If that doesnt help, even going up to 1mg arimidex ed, then to drop the arimi and start letro at a low dose while working ur way up. These are the only 2 ways i know of how to battle erse's while using a 19nor on cycle from what i have read, not from experience yet.
Now, i know i get erse's on cycle with even just test, i know it sucks! My next cycle soon will be test enth and deca. I plan on running 50mg proviron ed to help out but not expecting the world from that. Should i take arimidex at .25mg eod or e3d from the start of my cycle knowing im gyno prone? Whats your advice on this WAR or anyone with exp in this situation? Thanks!
Thanks a lot War.
I will most certainly follow your advise.
Been years since I did a cycle.I am sure glad 2 have all this info great job.But when I get ready 2 cycle.I will be askin what 2 do on all this stuff.THANX
I always heard novla cant reverse gyno. I always hear different sides, ive actually never heard that letro hasnt but ive heard that novla cannot.
I will add on ERSEs will taking 19-Nors as asked. Ive been extremely busy lately, sorry for that, when i find the time, ill get to it.
Wukillabee:
If you know youre ERSE prone, and plan on using a 19-Nor, id suggest running Adex throughout the cycle. Nothing worse than gyno while using a 19-Nor. Itll be hard to differentiate what is the cause of the gyno.

Thanks for the quick response bro! I was thinking to start l-dex (more affordable than pharm grade tabs but i do have some just in case) from day one of cycle at .25mg e3d. If i still get erse/gyno symptoms then to bump the dose to .5mg ed and go from there. If that doesnt do the trick even at 1mg ed then start my pharm grade tabs of letro and go from there. I also have pharm grade bromo and liquid prami on hand for prolactin problems too. Does this sound ok?
My exp with erse's: My first cycle was just test enth. Around week 6ish i got sensitive nips for a few days, then about the 5th day of itchy nips i noticed a super small pea size lump forming in each nip, i then started .5mg of l-dex ed and after only 7 days all erse's went away! I then stayed on .25mg l-dex rest of cycle just to be safe. Problem here though is the second i started l-dex even after lowering the dose, all gains in all areas came to a complete stop which sucked!
Second cycle was just test prop (some orals here and there). Around week 6ish again i got the sensitive nips. I then started 20mg pharm grade nolva tabs ed and again, after exactly 7 days all erse's went away. This time though i didnt take any serm/ai after symptoms went away and continued the cycle to 13 weeks with no more flare ups.
Now, knowing all this i was planning a cycle like this soon:
weeks 1-4 dbol 40-50mg ed
weeks 1-12 or 14 deca 450mg week
weeks 1-14 or 16 test 500 (250cyp+250enth) week
weeks 4-start of pct hcg 250iu week
day 1 until pct proviron 50mg ed
PCT: Starts 2 weeks after last shot
Week 1 clomid 100mg ed
Weeks 2-5 clomid 50mg ed
weeks 1-5 nolva 20mg ed
Now with this cycle in mind, what kind of erse prevention would u suggest bro? I know theres no ai in pct because im sure youll have me run an ai throughout the cycle til start of pct (probably l-dex). If i had to i might be able to get some liquid aromasin for pct, not gonna make an order just for some aromasin tabs, source wouldnt like that, hehe. What do you think bro?
Not sure on weeks of deca and test yet. Gonna see how i react to deca, if good then ill run deca 14 weeks, if bad then depending how bad i react will depend on how long but im sure at least 12 weeks. Of course test will be ran at least 2 weeks longer than the deca. Should i include proviron in the pct or will that not really make a difference for recovery? Ive used hcg in my last cycle leading up to pct and i recovered pretty dang quick so thats why im hard on using it this cycle and all for that matter! Last time i ran hcg i just did 1000iu week for 5 weeks leading up to start of pct. This time i want to run 250iu week starting from when im shut down til start of pct and see if that makes recovery any easier. Open to any and all suggestions, thanks!
Bump for War now hes back. Only thing im changing is proviron dose to 75mg ed from day one til start of pct. Might even do 50mg ed first couple weeks of pct just to help with libido. Should i include nolva in my pct? I know nolva is a big no no with a 19-nor on cycle but what about pct? I think im pretty much squared away everywhere else, just not sure about what ive asked. Since im gyno prone, thinking about doing .5mg of l-dex ed throughout cycle from day one til start of pct. If i use an ai for the whole cycle, do i still need an ai (aromasin) during pct? I would assume not but not sure. Thanks!
Never used proviron ever. I do have enough now to run 75mg ed throughout cycle. I know it works as a slight ai but since im gyno prone to even just test, im sure it wont be enough. Thats why im thinking of running l-dex maybe .5mg eod? Since im running the proviron at this dose maybe l-dex .25mg eod? This was my plan then if gyno symps still popped up id run the l-dex at 1mg ed and bromo at 1.25mg ed (first few days then work up to 2.5mg ed split) til the sides went away. If that doesnt help then i have liquid letro i can dose at whatever need be or pharm grade letro tabs that i could barely break in half theyre so damn small so would be doses of 1.25mg for those. Letro of course would be last resort. Im sure the 1mg l-dex ed and up to 2.5mg pharm grade bromo ed would take care of any gyno/prolactin symps that would pop up. Then id continue the l-dex at .25mg eod rest of cycle. Sound cool or am i missing something?
I guess ill run the nolva with my pct. Just read so many horror stories bout people with a 19-nor and nolva involved. Then again i think all those stories they used the nolva on cycle to fight the 19-nor gyno symps, not in pct.
AMAZING POST!
superbly informative! =D
IM BAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!
Special sorry to Wukillabee. Sorry bro, bad timing...
War/Swifto thanks for supplying such great informatin regarding pct. I have read both your pct threads however I just need some clarification if you will.
In regards to HCG use, I am reading conflicting recommendations of how/when to use HCG.
First of all I received prescription HCG from a Dr. which states to use 500iu/ed for pct. Now everything I have read is counter to this, as it does not give you benefits during pct but should rather be used during the cycle.
With that being said, the dosing recommendations on stickies on this site vary from 125 iu's/e2d to 500 iu/ed. This is a wide range to say the least.
Also the start times conflict. One says to start 4 weeks prior to last shot while another states 3 weeks prior to when the last ester leaves your blood, which I would imagine for say test c would be to start the week of or the week before your last shot.
As you can see I have some confusion due to the different bits of info on our site. Could you clarify this for me.
My understanding at this point is:
Start HCG/Nolva prior to last shot (when to start is to be determined)
Carry this up to when pct starts. At this time stop HCG and continue with Nolva/Clomid (or what other Serms)
Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
I personally do not run hCG during my PCT. I prefer to run it during my cycle, leading up to my PCT.
I usually dont use more than 1000 IUs a week. Generally i take a 500IU injection 2xW for 4-6 weeks leading up to my PCT.
I tend to agree with Swifto on this particular topic. Again, its up to you though bud. Its what guys with first hand knowledge tell you, or a Dr. But if he isnt an endocrinologist, i would formulate my own opinions on this matter. Most regular M.D.s dont have much experience on the subject of the human endo system.
Sorry guys. Im fvckin buzzed right now. I promise ill check this out tomorrow afternoon. lol...
Sorry again!

excellent
Looks great brutha! Ill be following your log again. When are you starting it so i can remember to start from the beginning.
Leave tonite to go on vacation. Its thursday here, should be home late monday night. Will probably do injects/orals as soon as i get home monday nite then hit the gym tuesday. Will get home wayyyy too late monday to hit the gym. If we leave early then i might have time for the gym but we'll see. Gonna take before pics while on vacation literally the day before cycle so its most accurate. Probably wont look the best after 5 days of vacation and good times but hey, more of a transformation will come out of it! Gotta take a good 5 days off to get the fun out of my system before i tie the knot with this cycle for the next 16 weeks of strict everything! Helps me keep my sanity, haha.
Sounds good buddy!
Lol bro, you dont need Nolva to prevent desensitization of the testes unless youre running ridiculous doses of hCG.
Ill ask Swifto for confirmation, because im paraphrasing what hes explained to me. But thats what i took from using Nolva for that purpose.
Ha, it will be good to know if the nolva is not necessary for sure. Just the way all the write-ups on pct read seemed like they should be taken together.
You're right I'm not taking a high dosage, (500 iu e4d)
Thanks again, I will be on the look out for your (Swifto's) response
Before going to gum I have consult with the doctor here
http://ampills.com/body-building/questions/, he recommended me a lot of interesting!
Thanx heaps for this article, very informative. cleared up some things about clomid, that i was wondering about.
No one likes my thread anymore?![]()
dont worry little green fellow. ive been posting the link around the board
^ Thanks whoreface! Love ya babe!
Question,
Would taking creatine (NoXplode) interfere with gyno Treatment?
I think I have aquired a slight case of the G-No on my left nipple area, it's hard to notice but I know its there.
I have had a slight case of Gyno before and treated it with Tamoxifen and had great results; but it came back... after a month of no diet or exercise.
Well I am back on track and have been at it for a month or so and still cant get rid of the gyno. I have about a week and a half left of the NoXplode and I just started taking the Tamoxifen at 30 mg ed for 3 days. Should I discontinue the use of the NoXplode for water reasons?
I plan to run the Tamox for 4 weeks 30/30/20/20
BTW I have been taking liquidex .5 eod while on the NoXplode, and plan to continue it with the Tamoxifen treatment.
Have you cycled before or is this gyno caused from puberty? Creatine will not cause gyno. What you may be mistaking is water retention, or fat mass in your chest area. If you have gyno, it will be tender to the touch, and be behind the nipple, generally the size of a pea if it is small, all the way to the size of a nickel.
To answer your question though, no, i would not be taking Adex while just using Creatine. If you do have gyno however, you may attempt a reduction with the use of Nolva.

bump
Back in highschool I took ANDRO Poppers by Pinnacle (Androstenodione) and of course I had no knowledge of PCT or of this forum or of anything Nutrirtion or PCT etc... I also recently did a DBOL Only Cycle back in the Spring, and did do a proper PCT which consisted of Adex and Nolva 40/40/20/20. I have been following the forum daily and I am pretty knowledgable on at least all of the basics.
I DO have a spot behind my nipple, it is not sensitive, but feels almost like cartledge or scar tissue or something... I am currently taking Nolva to reduce the gyno.
I will post pics soon for better judgement
Adex and Nolva is not a good PCT. But yes, post pics for comparison sakes.

Hi WARMachine,
So as I posted on another thread, I've been taking Letro now in order to cure my exsistence gyno.
I haven't used any juice or prohoromones for two years.
Letro is doing good job so far.
Letro
Day1: 0.25mg
Day2: 0.25mg
Day3: 0.25mg
Day4: 0.25mg
Day5: 0.25mg
Day6: 1.0mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day7: 1.0mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day8: 1.0mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day9: 1.0mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day10: 1.25mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day11: 1.25mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day12: 1.25mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day13: 1.25mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day14: 1.25mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day15: 1.0mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day16: 1.0mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day17: 1.0mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day18: 1.0mg (split morning and befor bed)< I'm here today.
Day19: 0.25mg
Day20: 0.25mg
Day21: 0.25mg
Day22: 0.25mg
Day23: 0.25mg Nolva 20mg
Nolva
Day24:40mg (split morning and befor bed)
Day25:40mg (split morning and befor bed)
Tapering down Letro begun from Day15.
I have a taper down plan as the same manner when dosing up, so it will last another 9days.
Nolva will be added on the last day of taking Letro,Day23.
I will start 20mg a day for a week, then tapering down with 10mg a day for another week.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
As long as I read your articles, you don't suggest this kind of cycle, right?
But since I've been doing this, will you give some advice?
Do you think it's good idea to taper down like this?
Or is there any better way in the middle of this?
Do I need to add something now or after Nolva finished?
Do I have to quit Letro with shorter tapering than I have now, then switch to Nolva?
As mentioned, I haven't done any juice or prohormone cylcle for two years, but Do I need to do PCT thing after Letro-Nolva?
If I do, what product(s)?
Anyway, so far my libido is fine and my joints have no problem.
Thank you in advance.

I dont recommend a Letro cycle as a means to reduce or reverse gyno. I feel it is ineffective. JMO.
I will answer some of your questions, and then refer you to C Bino's gyno thread for clarification regarding tapering.
1) Tapering down Letro is a must. Otherwise you will experince an estrogen rebound effect from discontinued use.
2) You dont need to add anymore AI's. Follow C Bino's method for tapering at the bottom of my post.
3) You will taper off the letro, and use the Nolva to do so. Youll be running both together for a short time, before discontinuing Letro altogether.
4) You do not need to run a PCT after attempting to reverse or reduce gyno.
