Question regarding nolvadex and igf1
ad
Hey guys,
I'm not using any gear at the moment but I am running 40mg of nolva daily and have been for 4 weeks to reduce a case of mild gyno. So far I've had decent success in reducing the pea sized lump and puffiness I developed from a previous cycle, but I figure I at least have a few more weeks at 40mg if I want to get rid of this gyno for good.
My question is how badly this will effect my igf1? I've never taken nolva for any length of time beyond 4 weeks. Will igf1 return to baseline on its own after nolvadex is discontinued or could I permanently damage it?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yes it most likely will while you take it, but should go back to normal. If you can get your hands on raloxifene it works better for gyno without that unpleasant side effect
I read that raloxifene was better for gyno but my problem is attaining it. Think I could drop the nolva the same day I start raloxifene without any negative drug interactions?
Yeah if you can get ahold of it then yes just swap them out. Obviously the mg will be different for each
The answer is in your bloodwork.
Thanks for the response. How long should I wait after discontinuing nolva before getting bloods done? Would 4 weeks be enough time for it to clear my system?
Nolva half-life is 6 days. If you have taken 40mg/day for 4 weeks and you want a base line igf BW, i would opt for 8 wks, and then follow up 6 weeks after that to see a true trend, imo. Other members may can add info as well,please.
So is would using hgh while your running nolva not be good if nolvo lowers igf or dos it not matter ?
Sounds counter productive
So if I'm running hgh during a cycle I should stop it when I'm starting pct you think ?
I would have to see your plan. Glad u are makin progress with Rx your issue.
Not sure what you mean. Fr sent
8 weeks it is. As stupid as it sounds, I wouldn't have thought of doing a follow-up test later. Should paint a pretty clear picture as to where my igf levels stand. Here's hoping the igf suppression from nolva is only temporary.
Thanks again for the help MedDx. Much appreciated!
