+ 1 Gyno start
ad
So I'm 3 weeks into my test e cycle 500mg a week(250mg twice weekly) woke up this morning with puffy nipples especially around the nipple so I'm assuming it's a gyno onset, also have had insomnia for a couple weeks where i wake up craving sugar. I took .25 of Adex and will continue every other day until symptoms subside then go to twice a week. My question is should I throw nolva in as well if so how much and how long. Any help is majorly appreciated. I've read a lot and have a general understanding but still would like first hand advice.

Rolaxifene is a great serm for combating gyno. I'd give that a try(best in my opinion)
Not_A_Lukechow down on some anti-e's
Bro, I get puffy nips from lower doses of Test C. It’s probably when the test is spiking and your estrogen goes up as well. So if your nips start getting tender and stay puffy, then get some blood work done
Honestly, I like sust a lot more, because I don’t get puffy nips as easily (I’m not telling you to switch, just blabbing about what I like).
Hope that helps
JohnfromFloridaInsomnia is pretty common, androgens especially testosterone increases your resting adrenaline.
Byanymeans78That's what I thought it was but the difference was that sugar craving with it that made me think it's estro induced
JohnfromFloridaCould be. Estrogen is the main culprit of sides. But the tricky part about ais is they could make your estrogen too low which isn’t good either. Testosterone is actually a very tricky compound, underrated as far as difficulty.
Not gyno. Starting AI now should take care of things. Get on your AI earlier next cycle since now you know when high estro sides hit during your cycle. Always best to be proactive instead of reactive. Follow up with bloodwork in a week or two after taking ai to see where estro is at.
drrockzoI agree with Makwa. Best to be proactive. But when I haven't and started taking more AI, it has gone away within a couple weeks at most.
I remember my first cycle when I woke up in the middle of the night with my nips on fire. Panicked and took 1 mg of adex
Few days later things were feeling a lot better though.
Byanymeans78Yeah I can't lie man all day yesterday I just felt extra "jiggly" and knew I was retaining water hard... then I go hit a great chest day after work go home pop top to get in the shower and immediately knew cuz of the puffiness around the nipple... And that was the difference because my nipples are always puffy. I took that .25 and slept the best I have in weeks and don't feel as jiggly... and the puffiness has subsided a lot. But I freaked haha
Byanymeans78Also do you think my AI protocol is sufficient or should I update to a 1/2 milligram every other day at 1st
.5mg of adex EOD is alot. For most people .25mg 2x/wk is sufficient for 500mg of test. Don't want to overreact and have estro dip to low. I would just stick with .25mg EOD for first week and nips should calm down pretty quickly and then go with the .25mg 2x/wk protocol the following week and check bloods to see if you need to readjust dose.
Makwa is absolutely correct. I learned the hard way. I upped my AI a little to high and I couldn’t get my dick up for about 3 days! So don’t jump to adding more of your AI… not good--
Byanymeans78You have no idea how much I appreciate this insight
Byanymeans78Thanks man... sorry if I was disrespectful in other replies to comments from you..I really do appreciate this.
AnonThrow 20mgs of Nolva at it every night for a week. If it goes away tapper the dosage to 10mg a night for another week.
