Give it 2-3 more wks. If it doesn't kick back in, you may need another mini-PCT w/ Toremifene, RR, fen & ACT for like 2 more wks.

Dr. D , is transdermal ATD in any way superior to oral? The makers of one of them (AIFM) claim that it has a possitive effect on sex drive. Would this make any sense? Also, it is unclear how much atd you are absorbing w/topicals. any opininons??

I'm not sure. I've heard good things too and I know that SERMs are very effective by topical application, but I am not convinced that libido would be positively influenced.

thanks DR.D I was gonna take the two week to 3 week break anyway justed wanted to know I was on the right track.
I will get tor anyway cause I can use it in future cycles, quick question I only see one board sponsor that stocks tor, any idea how good their IGF is?

Also whats the difference between tor,HCG,HMG?

Definition for HMG: HMG aka Menotropin LH & FSH , compare to HCG contains only LH to cause a slight increase in testicle size. FSH stimulates the Sertoli cells to raise sperm output and cause a much greater increase in testicle size. Men who have used HMG report that their testicles have returned to normal size after long training cycles and frequently much bigger

Dr D

Its been awhile so im going to give an update. Im about to end week 4 out of 6 with this setup.
ATD 1\1\2\2\3\3
Nolva 60\60\40\40\20\20
Cab .250 mcg 2x per week.

I haven't felt much at all from my nipps until latley. They look slightly puffy, or maybe a tad bigger like they did on my last cycle, but its hard to tell because my bodyfat is increasing. I have small lumps which were almost gone maybe a week ago, that are now slightly enlarged, but still very small. None of this is noticable.

I have noticed small white specs on my nipple (1 of them), that might be lactation im not sure, but i don't want to mess with it.

Also Ive had some prostatic fluid droppin when i take a #2, but this has happened to me during my last couple pct's, and went away there after. Think it has something to do with atd.

Thank you

I've never tried hMG, but I hear it should really be used adjunctively with hCG to get the most of it. The tor is a SERM and causes the greatest testicular increase of any other SERM in my experience. Very fast too usually. You could stack all three if long training cycles or over use has reduced your responsiveness to any of them specifically.

The rIGF-L3 sold by that company is very effective relative to others. Cheaper too I think in many cases. It retains potentcy for months diluted in bacteriostatic methyl-B-12 solution with no need for AA too.

Did you ever have you prostate imaged or any tests run? Does it seem enlarged? I think you need some pituitary testing done as well and a full thyroid panel including a TSH. I know it sux but it does not sound like we are going to be able to clear this up and I think you need to go see an endo now. It's ok. Sometimes that's just what it takes and we have taken too long trying to fix this if something is really off or even worse metastatic at this point. Please get an endo and do it now. You are too young to be having this many problems!

I had a few blood test this summer that included a full thyroid panal. I had my nuts imaged, i dont know if any prostate stuff came up on it. After my last batch of tests and the ultrasound i had spoke to my doctor and he said "I had nothing to worry about". He also new about the gyno situation which he didn't think much of. Hopfully my student health has an endo, i'll check it out this week. I also had gone to the doctor the first time i noticed the prostatic fluid during #2, This was about a year ago. He said the only thing it could be was an STD (which i knew i didn't have) but he twice stuck something about the size of the tip of a clothes hanger in my d*ck, making for the worst expierience of my life.

thanks again

If your prostate is enlarged you should have difficulty urinating are you experincing this??

bump, plus you should be going more often that usual.

Dr. D ... I have been pondering some things lately.

It is generally agreed upon that gyno will go away after puberty for pre-pubertal and pubertal cases. Usually, as in my case, the gyno went away by the time i reached the age of 19-20.

Do you think the same rings true for steroid induced gynecomastia???
If, after a cycle that provoked gynecomastia, once your levels return to homeostasis for about a year or two, that too will go away on it's own?

I understand that breast tissue that is formed does not go away on it's own, so what do they mean by the teen's gyno going away?

TKE, Dr D

I'm pretty sure I piss the same frequency most of the time. I drink a ton of water so i'm always pissing.

As far as difficulty urinating, I've had some probs on cycle before. All though over the last couple monthes every time i try to take ephedrine i have all kinds of problems urinating, its bad (much worse then the on cycle). This didn't start till this past summer. Prior to this for about the last like 7 years i went pretty hard with ephedrine and never had a problem. This might go for other stimulants\fat burners. I also started taking adderal this past summer, i don't know if it has an effect.

thanks again.

The acute hyperplasia goes away if not present for too long, but if allowed to become fibrous can remain permanently. It only takes a few weeks to do that usually so for all practical purposes, yes, once it's there it's there to stay. Certain things can cause it to flare up on cycle. Too much estrogen, IGF, progesterone (usually combined with too much estrogen) and low androgen levels. Teen's gyno does not really go away either I don't think, unless you catch it extremely early (under 1 month) and hit it with some chemo like a non-aromatizable andro or AI for another month or too. It becomes very dormant and reduced in size and density, but it is still there forever IMO. It only needs the right hormonal environment to respond and grow after that.

That's a common effect of sympathomimetics. Don't worry about urinary retention cause by ephedrine because that's a normal response. It sounds like you may just have a very touchy prostate. If you cycle again, and that should be later after you've stabilized, you might want to consider more prostate friendly compounds like deca or use finasteride simultaneously with milder androgens, not test.

An effective OTC product you may wish to try is Activate. Stack with a mixed phytosterol complex (diosgenin/stigmasterol) like found in fenugreek or tribulus and you can make some good gains with an improvement in prostate status. I don't work for DS anymore so do think I'm just pushing product (I never advise like that anyway.) It really might help and the gains and pumps are no joke.

Thanx DR D. I have used activate before with success, i didn't run it this time around because of all the weird **** going on. I'm thinking about getting back on fenugreek, my libido has been in the ****ter im thinking from the 3 atd and nolva. Although I've taken these together in all my pct's and dont remeber ever having libido problems, but i was usually taking dhea and fenugreek. I'm just a little worried because of how many weeks its been since ive used anabolics, and my cycle was short and not real supressive at all. Ive also been using prostate support and NAC.

Deca is prostate friendly? I was thinking about using it but was worried about the progesterone issue. I was thinking i would have to use compounds like winstrol, masterone, and other non aromatising compounds.

What are some good ways to monitor my gyno? I get very paranoid and I'm always looking, but i dont have anything that has been outstanding or even noticable to anyone else. I used to try to judge by the lumps, but there so small. Also i barley get any sensitivity itching or numbness. Right now I'm slowly getting bigger again so I have more body fat, and it appears my nipples are more puffy. One of them is slighly pionty.

I think i did most of this to my self though 2 cycles ago when i ran nolva and tren together for so long. Then when i noticed lactation, i litarly squeezed my nipps everyday for like 4 monthes (stupid).

thank you again for all your help, its very appreciated.

What about using the rebound reloaded instead of xt for pct. Basically the entire nha stack.

i could use RR. although i had used a bottle before i feel like xt was better for gyno.

Dr d

after i finish this 6 week gyno prevention:
ATD 1\1\2\2\3\3
Nolva 60\60\40\40\20\20
cab 1\2 ml 2x's per week

what should i do next? supplement wise, activate?? Do you know anything about diesel test?
I have fenotest and anagen, fenugreek dhea, more atd, and cissus(no way).

what are some good ways to monitor gyno\lactation?

I would just stick to a steroidal AI after that for awhile. You could add the ACT but an AI would be crucial to any future protocol.

How out letro? what dose?

could i do letro, rebound reloaded and activate?
thanks

I'm doing a slight modification to Dr. D's post cycle therapy as follows. Currently at the beginning of week 2.
wk1: Clomid 150mg/d, RXT 0mg/d, DHEA 150mg/d,
wk2: Clomid 100mg/d, RXT 25mg/d, DHEA 150mg/d,
wk3: Nolva 60mg/d, RXT 50mg/d, DHEA 100mg/d,
wk4: Nolva 40mg/d, RXT 50mg/d, DHEA 100mg/d
wk5: Nolva 20mg/d, RXT 75mg/d, DHEA 100mg/d
wk6: RXT 75mg/d, DHEA 100mg/d

Dr. D. or anyone. What do you think of this PCT and how would you dose and add in Diesel Test 2010 in this PCT? Not sure when to begin fenugreek as well. Week1? Week2 Week3?.... Also, I have some Toremifene that I could use as well.

Unless you're really shut down, you can start the Nolva at 40mg right from wk 3 instead of 60. You can start the DT right now with the fen. You can probably cut the doses of each a little by stacking both simultaneously. That's what I do when I use trib and fen together, but the dose must be ramped one more cap every wk for 3 or 4 wks tops to maintain benefits. I'd just save the tor for next time if you are already 2wks into high dose Clomid. The rest looks great.

Dr. D,

I hate to disagree with you on this one:

Don't worry about urinary retention cause by ephedrine because that's a normal response.

Ephedrine sure is a sympathomimetic amine, but it is a vasoconstrictor therefore it has an effect on cardiac output, heart rate and bloodpressure. Due to the increased blood flow the effect on the urinary system is an increased urine output and not water retention. Well that is what i know. There is probably something that you know that i don't, please let me know your reasoning to this.

Intresting. I def have trouble urinating immediatly when i start taking ephedrine.

Dr D, i just picked up some stuff, what kinda stack should i go with for the next 4 weeks? Do you suggest trying something other then nolva or letro? like tore?

but i have on hand: rebound reloaded, atd, act, deisel test, anagen, fenotest, no expload, cialabol (usp new creatine), fenugreek dhea. also have nolva and letro.
been using nolva the last 6 weeks. been using atd probably the last 9 weeks or so. Been using cabergoline for like 5 monthes.

I have noticed that alcohol seems to make my gyno worse. I went to my buddies wedding this week and had a few drinks, thereafter my nipps started itching and became more puffy. Marijuanna seems to have an effect also, only in high doses.

thanx again

I am no Dr. D but I personally think that running those compounds for lengthy amounts of time could have serious side effects. Hell, ATD alone made my **** go numb and I only ran it in the 25-50mg range for less than a month!

Yes! You are quite correct, but ephedrine relaxes the vesical detrusor muscle, and increases contraction of the vesical sphincter (agonist action on the alpha adrenergic receptor) to encourage acute urinary retention in most cases. It is particularly noticeable with the primary amine (phenylpropanolamine, PPA) which is no longer commonly available I don't think but was once a common ingredient of cold caps and OTC diet pills and used to prevent bed wetting by the same mechanism without as much CNS stimulation as ephedrine.

I would just use a steroidal AI like the ATD or Reload you have and wean off of everything else. Avoid caffeine too. The Nolva has had plenty of time to work and so has the cab really. The NO and creatine stuff is fine to stack, but I'd be really careful and slow adding any new herbals with endocrine manipulating effects. Your system is still not stable if you can't even have a few drinks on the w/e. Hang in there man. It can just take time.

Can i run the activate also? you suggested this to me a couple post back to help with prostate.

no caffine? even pre workout?

So how about
Cialabol
ATD 3 caps?
activate
could i stack rebound reloaded? or would this be rudundant?

thanx again

Add the Activate slowly and use only one or the other on the ATD or Reload. Caffeine at 200mg/d or less would normally be fine if your nips don't puff on it, but the alcohol sensitivity is what startled me. Caffeine is more estrogenic that alcohol. The Cialabol is fine.
