Did 200mg a week of test c for 12 weeks. Pct was HCG and then nolvadex. Weened off novladex and then about a week after my last nolvadex I am having high e2 symptoms, puffy nips. Guessing this is estrogen rebound? How long does this usually last? Coach told me to take a 1/4 tab of nolvadex Friday and then again on Sunday and I should good by mid week. Here we are on Monday so a few more days to go, seems to be getting better. Was my first cycle and first time dealing with estrogen rebound. Has anyone ever added DIM to help out in this situation. Coach is dead set against Al’s.
Thoughts on my situation? Thanks a million guys, you guys have been a huge help with my first cycle.
Find a new coach. Recommending 200mg/wk of Test Cyp for a cycle is asinine. That’s barely a cycle, shuts you down, and then you have to deal with the issues you are having now.
When did you take your last shot?
How long did you wait after your last shot to start PCT?
What was your PCT dose and how long did you take it?
Point being I am guessing the PCT is off but even if it wasn’t you are experiencing normal sides. My take is wait it out. Puffy nips are not a big deal until you get hard lumps.
Was my first cycle and I picked 200mg, coach actually suggested higher, just wanted to get my feet wet.
Last test shot was july 9th
First HCG shot was July 26th at 2500 IU and then tappered down to 200 IU over 3 weeks injecting eod. Nolvadex after that at 35mg then tappered down each week to 10mg for the last week. Total of 4 weeks on nolv.
Ok, so your PCT wasn’t terribly off and should do what it was intended based on the info you provided. You will still probably feel off for a month or so after PCT cessation. I would ride it out versus throwing more drugs at it.
Same answer. You didn’t do anything to lower e2 production, so there is no rebound effect. You aren’t blocking receptors anymore, so maybe you are not just feeling the effects of a normal e2 level post PCT? You could, of course, get blood work and see. But let’s not get crazy here.
Trust me I would get blood work, so tough to get blood work in Canada. I did pre bloods and doing that was a huge pain. I am set up to do a final bloodwork in 6 weeks from now. But to just go get blood’s whenever is just not possible. If I could just pay like you guys do in the states that would be wonderful.
The cycle part potentially is most important. Eating the correct type of rice or pressing dumbbells instead of barbell is 10% of whats left. No one who is taking steroids should need a coach for that. Also your pct problem should be solved by the coach also.
