I am unsure as to if this is the correct forum, but i have a few questions and would welcome any input or theory form the experts here particularly Bill Roberts and Bushidobadboy. Unto the subject matter: My girlfriend recently got the Implanon implant. We are geographically separated right now and I was not informed until post implant( i am not sold on implanon)
Implanon is structurally based on 19-nortestosterone(nandrolone) and of course is a progestin. Now, I am not a total dummy however I have NOWHERE near the knowledge of the aforementioned gentlemen and others on this board. I do have a chemistry backround, just not smart enough to figure this one out lol
Here are her concerns(hence my questions)
-my question first-given that this is indeed based on Nandrolone(I know that does’nt really mean anything for the most part) and the side effects(gyno type symptoms, libido issues) sound like nandrolone to me, is there a correlation or am I being “amatuer steroid detective”?
-does this compound have any effect on testosterone levels in women? Looking at the structure really does’nt tell me much because honestly I not that educated in that aspect of chemistry
_she is concerned about weight gain which apparently an issue with Implanon…she lifts and runs and has a good diet…and further preventative measures?
-Given that this is metabolized in the liver(the FDA did not do any hepatoxcity studies-shocker) would the same supplementation and precautions used while taking oral steroids be advised?
-I am sorry I cannot provide a link, but Implanon has an easily found FDA site which includes
the chemical structure and related information
Her stats if this helps
lifting about 3 year
25yrs old
5’5-5’6
145
bf-dont know low 20’s as a guess. Good amount of muscle, legs in particular(ummmmm)
I find it ironic that I nearly got busted for buying a 19-nor prohormone(which sucked, than MAG-10 showed up thank god. Thanks again Bill!!!) and my girlfriend is getting a birthcontrol device based on it
I am aware that 19-nor has been used as a MALE contreceptive, however I am unsure if there is any correlation there at all
I really appreciate any insight and advice and apologize for the disjointed nature of this post, i am attending the funeral of a fellow marine veteran, does not make for the best day
Again thank you very much for your input!
