Wanna PM me your site? 
Exactly my observation too, while on-cycle I feel women can smell my pheromones and I feel like a sexual dinosaur. The added on-cycle confidence does NOT play a part in this as some women are attracted to me without even talking to me.
My girlfriend of 5 years also seems to have a new-found love for me on each of my cycles (she doesnt know I cycle) and whenever I am around her she is always dropping comments like āyou are so hotā haha.

Also I fully feel thats why most people get addicted to AAS, more so than the progress in the gym, its the female attention and confidence boost.
I have read about some definite estrogen related issues with DAA (puffy/sensitive nipples mostly but also libido problems) but I have access to AIās so I imagine that would completely solve the issue? High estrogen is definitely a concern for me because mine is already out of range (blood work showed 47 when the range for the lab said it should be less than 39 and I know ideally it would really be about half of what mine was) and 6 days into an oral cycle it was literally 2-3 times thatā¦Iām surprised I didnāt see worse estrogen sides to be honest.
On a related note, as mentioned even when not on anything I have high estrogenā¦and Iāve noticed Iāve always had puffy nipples (multiple docs have said I donāt have gyno but it sure looks like I have a little when theyāre not contracted). Not that taking an AI year round is an option but do you guys think taking enough of an AI where my blood levels were closer to 20 or so would make the puffiness (which, again, is apparently not real gyno) go away?
Awesome to see your levels have come up again man, congrats! Must be a relief. This confirms for me HCG will be pivotal to an attempt to get myself back on line.
Canāt remember if you said or not - was your HCG through an RC or was it pharm grade like youāve mentioned some of your other stuff has been?
Brilliant stuff, gives me some hope as well

I have the same problem of puffy nips even when I am not on any AAS and oestrogen is normal. I am at a relatively low BF (around 7%) at 190+lbs and I still have noticeable puffiness. I used a low-dose AI with my DAA, it seemed to help abit but the puffiness seems to remain permanent. You may be lucky and the AI might get rid of your puffiness, you can only try.

My hCG was pharm grade, Iāve never used a RC except the Triptorelin which turned out to be bunk.

Added Zinc into this stack, 30mg a day.
I must say the dreams I got last night were GH-esque. So strong and emotional I could literally feel the pain.
PTD what dose do you recommend running the Zinc at? Take it on an empty stomach before bed I presume?

SB have you tried the DAA yet?

I have updated this thread a couple of times with my experience on DAA.
Just another update, DAA has helped greatly with libido.
No hair growth or acne so far, I have added Zinc also yesterday so lets see how that goes.
As it pertains to weight, I am still maintaining around 190ish but trying to push that up slowly to ensure lean gains.

Iām considering buying the bulk powder for my PCT since it seems to be getting good feedbackā¦just more time on an AI though since estrogen issues seem to be the biggest concern and mine is already high :\
SB sorry if this is answered already but youāre not currently on anything else right? Iāve been finished PCT for weeks now (all i did was a 4 week designer steroid cycle though) and every workout is a struggle to maintainā¦trying to cut down before my next cycle sure hasnāt helped that lol. Iām wondering if DAA would help that. Its so cheap I would just take it year round but I donāt think an AI or SERM year round would be the smartest idea.

I donāt use aas but tried daa. It gave me the shits, made my nipples sensitive and tingly and dropped my libido. I noticed water retention, less energy and would not recommend it.
I didnāt have blood work done and may be prone to aromatization but I didnāt like it.[/quote]
The puffy nips and low libido tells me the DAA did in fact work. However your body just aromatised higher, I however have the advantage of a low dose AI to avoid this aromatisation. What did you dose it at?[/quote]
Just popped back in, 3 grams daily

No Iām not on anything else. From what Iāve read you dont take the DAA year-round, you are supposed to cycle it every 8 weeks or so.
An AI year-round is definately not a good idea.

Ok mate. I stopped the DAA for a week or so as I have getting puffiness around the nips (even though I was running a low-dose AI). I have since restarted DAA use alongside Zinc as it supposedly has anti-oestrogenic qualities.

oh so you did, sorry I missed that. Iām glad itās working for you
Given my naturally high estrogen I would only take this with an AI as mentioned, so essentially even with blood work I couldnāt really tell if the DAA was working right? I mean the AI alone would increase testosterone significantly (in my case a low dose practically doubled it).

My zinc knowledge comes from google but most of the reading Iāve done shows zinc intake at 150 mg or above for anti-aromatase action, a level that flirts with zinc poisoning according to certain reads. No links on a phone, Iāll see if I can find some later and would be interested in input from other, more knowledgeable posters.
I havenāt been able to find an accurate half life for DAA, but I did some experimenting with doses. In the end I found that 12 days on and 12 days off is the threshold to avoiding aromatization or prolactin related side effects. It seemed to take about 4 days for me to feel the effects while on, and they seemed to noticably diminish around day 8 of the off time. Everyone is different, but this worked for me, and a buddy of mine.

Wow 150mg is a heck of a dose. I have been using 30mg ED before bed. I dont know if its zinc-related or if it maybe low T but I have been having trouble waking up in the mornings.
Try getting some links I will see what I can find.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.
Might try this soon.
