Swollen ankles
ad
Hey guys. I am on week 5 of a 12 week cycle of test c 600mg/week. For the last week my feet and ankles have swollen up a bit. I can still wear my shoes with no discomfort. It just looks like I have cankles pretty bad. My nipples are fine, no acne anywhere, no mood swings, and my blood pressure is normal.I also have no history of heart disease and my last visit with the doc was all green. Do you still think it is an estrogen level thing? I have started taking 12.5mg aromasin ed just in case.Any advise? This is my first cycle.
Cheers

Do u have Ai's on hand? Adex?
I have 0.5mg caps of arimidex.
Try .5mg eod for a week and see if that works if not go to everyday then. If eod works keep that protical through the rest of your cycle
So go with adex over aromasin?
No, stick to aromasin. Adex causes rebound estrogen, while Aromasin is a suicide A.I. in other words, Adex attaches to the aromatase enzyme until the half life expires, then the enzyme is free once more to convert test. Aromasin, on the other hand, attaches to the enzyme until the enzyme "dies," so to speak. There can be no rebound with Aromasin.
Sounds good thank you very much
It is more than likely high estrogen. The best way to find out is to have lab work done, it's quite cheap and you're roughly mid-cycle so it's a good time to get one anyways!
Usually people take an A.I. starting week 3 of a cycle, depending on how their bodies convert test to estrogen.
Swollen body parts are a result of water retention, and that's estrogen. Testosterone tends to do that, you also get a "moon face." A.I. helps control it by controlling estrogen.
Ok figured it might be estrogen related. Thank you for the input. My face is looking a little "moony" lately as well.
True indeed Royk.... I know its time to tune my AI when my wrists start getting plump. Too advice bro +1
Try to dial in on your AI protocol Pagan.
Thank you very much. Yes, I know by now when to start my AI or what signs to look for. Takes a cycle or two, and definitely at least a cycle of test only.
Will do thanks man
RustyhookerJust started aro?? No salt in diet?
Low sodium in my diet. Also been taking HCG from the beginning of the cycle at 500 units 2x per week. Also yes just started the aromasin. I will stay at 12.5mg ed until I either see improvement and cut down to eod or up it to 25mg ed. Am I on the right track?
RustyhookerTest converts. Hcg converts. Get blood test to check levels
Good thing you started aro
