Anyone else experience the condition I've come to know as "epi nuts"?

Usually I don't get any atrophy symptoms until the very end of a cycle, or post cycle therapy, if at all. But both times I've used epi, I found I'm ll shriveled by day two. Is it just me?

Anyone?

LOL!!!!!!!!

I think he meant that he gets such bad "shutdown" that his balls shrink up to the point where they near turtle-up into his body... At which point he "chokes" on them....?

Likely not the best wording, given the audience! LOL

You got it, dude. Anyway, I reworded it for all the rectal raiders around here who were trying to project their closet preferences onto me. LOL

Anyway, there's no way that $h!t is placebo. No one else experiences the same thing?

i 2nd that!
Naturally. Always got my Nolva and my Clomid on hand before ever starting.

To be honest, I'm really on my second week, I just don't count that first one because I did 4 days at 10mg, and 3 days at 2mg, just so I wasn't starting right at 30mg, like I did last time. Still, 2nd day at 30, and I'm at it again. In all fairness, it's not like permanent shrinkage. They drop back to normal every now and again, but a good part of the day is spent...should I say, wound up.

Thats really weird. The changing in size throughout the day or from day to day is new to me. Shrinkage is usually pretty consistent. Once it starts it just slowly gets worse and worse until you begin PCT and as long as all goes as planned they'll be back to normal in no time.

I ran Epi myself and didn't have any noticeable shrinkage. Only real noticeable side was a complete loss of libido around the middle of the third week. Well that and my newly developed gyno (two months after finishing up PCT).

I'm with Weight - I noticed little shrinkage with Epi.

But - I didn't have any libido drop (mine seemed to go up somewhat) and no gyno.

The libido effects seem to differ from one person to the next. Mine was sky high the first two and a half weeks and then suddenly was non-existent.

The gyno was delayed, two months after my PCT. I'm running Letro right now to try to get rid of it right now and it seems to be working.

well newly developed gyno means that your body had an influx in estrogen and nothing to block it, this can happen after any cycle or even with a natty test booster if an AI isnt taken.

I dont think you can even try to correlate this with Epi but only with cycleing in general and more likely what else you may have been running in your down time.

What did you use for your pct just wondering?

Epi is kinda harsh on my nuts after a few weeks, but nothing like 1-test. That was like 4 days, and my nuts were the size of nipples.

Don't worry I'm not bashing Epi. It worked great and I will definitely consider running it again. I gained 8 pounds while dropping a little bodyfat.

My post cycle therapy was 4 weeks of nolva, 60/40/30/20, along with Anabolic Innovation's Post Cycle Support. I finished up PCT on December 15th.

The only reason I wonder if it's not a delayed result of the Epi is because I haven't ran any supplements at all since the Epi cycle. Just basic protein powders, BCAAs, EFAs, etc. Plus I have seen a few other mentions of people who have ran Epi who are now experiencing signs of some delayed gyno.

my only criticism of your pct would be the lack of an AI.... as your body has been raising in test levels you werent protecting any of it from ever turning into estrogen. A suicidal inhibitor is the best choice since it will get rid of the aromatase permanantly till it can remake some, limiting how much estrogen can even be made over then next months of your body building back up to normal test levels.

I think that this could very well be one of the reasons why you experienced it... the second you stop the serm (well 48 hours after given its long halflife) the estrogen is still there and free to attack the receptors... it takes a while for it to actually create any effects it doesnt happen over night, its constant (over)saturation of the est receptors that will cause the sides to start.

This is why its really imparitive that you get blood work doen a week after you finish pct, that way everything has cleared halflife wise and you can get an idea as to where your sitting and what else you may need to do.... wether it be continue on with test boosters to raise it to desierd leves or make sure to take an AI or continue low dose SERM to combat high est levels.

this is all JMO. also I think many taking Epi are newbs or guys that are taking it too lightly and only using OTC pct's... I think thats a nono regardless of compound.

Weird, I know. Now that you mention it, I've run two seperate cycle of Tren with no shrinkage to speak of in the first and only during week 3 of p.c.t. in the second.

I don't know, this morning the boys are chillin'. I'm also taking t2, venom and napalm, so maybe the combination of stimulants in the venom and the napalm? you know, like my nuts are geting into racing mode, maybe? :run:

I don't buy into the whole "epi to combat gyno" thing, but epi is reportedly VERY low risk for gyno.

As for the libido, the general consensus is that there is none. It affects everyone differently. Personally, it has had no negative effect on me, neither on my last cycle (6 weeks) nor this one up until now. I won't say it's gone up, but it definitely hasn't suffered.

Now, back to tren...that $h!t will KILL your libido!

I dont know man, whenever I pulse epi my balls fluctuate back and forth from normal size to slightly bigger.. I'm sure it's just one of those things that vary from person to person..

I agree that I probably should have added an AI. I talked to a lot of guys and I was convinced that it wasn't needed, at least for an Epi cycle, but I will always been running an AI from now on inversely tapered with a SERM. I feel I might be gyno prone and you can never be too careful. You only get one body and better safe than sorry. Luckily my current Letro use seems to be working. The bump is nearly non-existent now.

Thanks for your thoughts. I wouldn't call myself a newb though. This was only my second cycle but I did a lot of research before starting both cycles. Probably a good 6 months prior to the first cycle. Thanks for your input and for putting out a great product with Epi.

Im sorry I hope you didnt think I was calling you a newb, I was reffering to most others that are reporting gyno as well... Im glad to hear though that the Letro is doing its work.

I too am prone to gyno, obviously(if you caught my log). I dont think you cant ever do too much in PCT and dont see any reason not to just go over board with it, not only to make sure sides arent incurred but so that all gains are maintained if not improved upon.... wich I usually do in my PCT's :D.

Thanks for the comps on Epi, belive me when I say theres nothing but more good things to come from IBE, a enitre line up of reformulations and maybe a new item as well :D

No offense taken. Had to create a new account about a week or two ago so if you just glance at my stats it looks like I just got here.

Can't wait to see what IBE's got up their sleeves in the future.

I've noticed that I have a tendancy to shutdown very quickly after starting a PH cycle. at least once it's happened within 10 days or so.

if you go overboard with PCT don't you have to worry about gyno rebound after PCT?

Some people make post cycle therapy harder on their body than it could be. More is not always better. That's why blood work is so important.

im going to need an explination on that one. Being able to see a placebo is news to me.
it's pretty straightforward. if you THINK something is going to happen, even if it doesnt you manifest the result in your brain and you think it has happened. like a bunk pill for fat loss....or Airborne for colds...or steroids that are actually just oil in vials.

when an outcome is utterly impossible, like getting the kind of complete testicular shutdown and stopping of leydig cell activity that would cause noticeable, appreciable shrinkage of testicles when having only used a not-extremely suppressive steroid for just 2 days...i would call that a placebo effect. likely the user is just paying a lot of attention to his balls because he read that steroids can cause shrinkage of them...

either that or he is suppressed from something else....

anyway, i notice some very mild shrinkage from epi after about 3 weeks, but no libido loss.

i suppose the possibility exists that the user is incredibly susceptible to suppression and responds instantly the way another would after several weeks...but the odds are against that.

ummm no, did I say that?

I said its worth it doing more then less.

The only way to make sure you dont get gyno rebound is to do I stated in a later post and that is to get post PCT bloodwork done, at least a week after to make sure PCT was even succesfull.

My point made in the paragraph quoted was it will be better to do more then not do enough and it will help you maintian if not improve upon your gains as well.... this will NOT make up for getting solid feedback if it worked or not by getting bloodwork done.

Good job taking my post outta context though :thumbsup:

Yup...same here bro. There was a couple others as well on another board who experienced it. Very few people so far.

Mine got very very tight and uncomfortable within 3 days or so! Just hugged up fast, wasnt my imagination either...who could it be...felt like BLUE BALLS LOL!

tightness subsided in PCT more fully around week 3-4

This is where "over board" needs to be smart.

I make sure to hit it from every angle/pathway/factor that needs to be addressed in PCT, from estrogen control (both direct and from aromatase) to cortisol, to cellular hydration (poseidon and creatine), to nutrient partitioning, to testosterone boosting/htpa restart, to preworkout driving supps and most importantly a change in diet and/or routine to suit pct. ect ect ect....

not just a simple start taking serm and a test booster for me and keep on with the same old diet and hardcore routine....

hey Poopy!

I don't see how I took it out of context...I read what you wrote (as well as the rest of the thread) and I had a question about your position on the topic...I'm here to learn, so I posed a question regarding it. I thought you were advocating the "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to PCT.

Thanks for taking the time to respond and let me know how I missinterpreted what you had posted.

or you could just monitor your nips and administer a well-designed nolva protocol in response to any puffiness or tenderness.

lots of guys dont have PCT problems...if you've run a cycle 3 times and had no gyno flare-ups, then 4th time likely wont do it, but if it does, you are equipped to battle it.

that said - everyone who can afford it should get bloodwork done - but seeing as steroid use is generally ephermeral damage, those who cant afford it can get by with a critical approach and lots of research and planning, IMHO.

I do agree... thats why I run a VERY comprehensive PCT as stated above... when Im lucky enough to get my health care provider to foot the bill for blood I do it, Other wise I literally do a PCT for my PCT. usually consists of a diff type of test booster then used on PCT (or sometimes the same depending on if contiuing will bring just as strong results) and a low dose EOD AI so the continually raising test levels are made sure to stay test as much as possible and est doesnt just go outta control.... also having enough serm after PCT to hit a quick regimin in case of sudden flare up like you mentioned is recommended.... I ran M1T 3 times but the first time I ran SD with the exact same PCT i got gyno... its not just about if one doesnt get gyno times 1, 2 or 3 they wont the fourth, since its not liekely theyll always run the same compound and diff compounds effect diff people, well, differently :D/

No, dude, I didn't "read somewhere" that it happens. Believe me when I say that I am well versed.

Also, it wasn't two days. I pre-loaded a week (4 days at 10mg, 3 days at 20mg) so that when I began the complete cycle, I'd be able to start it at the 30mg dose I planned to run for all but the sixth week of the cycle.

Strangely enough, it has since stopped and the boys have gone back to normal. Same thing happened last time I ran an epi cycle. Sometime around the 2nd week, they shrunk up a bit, then chilled out. Almost like the compound freaked them out, then they got comfortable, made friends and went on about their usual business. It never happens to me with any of the other compounds I've used.

Yep! That's the one! That's exactly what I'm talking about. It actually subsided near the end of last week and this week everything is cool.

LOL, 2 days versus a week and 2 days is a world of difference. are you sure you didnt pre-pre-load for another week?

and using the phrase "pre-load" is a complete misnomer in this case. that practice is for reducing the delay of higher blood levels in slow-acting injectable cycles....does not apply here. the cycle started when you took the first dose.

I've got a question:

Why isn't the serm tapered off to a lower dose? You always see the Nolva protocol as something like 40/40/20/20. Why not taper down to 10 or 5? Like 40/30/20/10/5? It sounds like a longer, slower taper to a lower dose would help lower rebound. Is it just that folks are so eager to keep the whole 'cycle+PCT=time off between cycles' as short as possible? We're using liquid a lot of the time, it'd be easy to taper down lower.

its a matter of effective doses man, you wouldnt taper up a cycle by starting at half a cap a day for a whole week would you?

Same thing, you need to at least ingest enough top have an effect and 5mg for the short period we are taking this compound period just isnt going to have a profound enough effect.

i disagree i think tapering down to 10mg at least with nolva is a good choice. its not going to have a real effect but as far as the transition of coming off of it goes it would be beneficial...more so then coming straight off of 20mg.

Buddy of mine had similar thing happen. Mostly noticed a pain / ache in the nutsack after bumping to 30mg. HCG took care of that though while on.

and using the phrase "pre-load" is a complete misnomer in this case. that practice is for reducing the delay of higher blood levels in slow-acting injectable cycles....does not apply here. the cycle started when you took the first dose.
Ok, I'll try it your way...I did "a week at low dose so I wasn't jumping straight into a 30mg dose"...yeah, I think "pre-load" was a simpler description which everyone seemed to understand just fine, thanks. The point was I've gone as many as 6 - 8 weeks with up to 3 different compounds and it never happened, but it does with epi every time within the first two weks (not that I'm bashing it, I love epi).

Anyway, T H E O R E M apparently has experienced the same, and has found others who experienced it as well. It's not just me, now I'm reassured, problem solved.

i disagree i think tapering down to 10mg at least with nolva is a good choice. its not going to have a real effect but as far as the transition of coming off of it goes it would be beneficial...more so then coming straight off of 20mg.
10mg ok, but 5mg for a week? cmon.

Especially since most guys dont think about it right, they think hey im taking tamoxifen citrate aka nolva right? wrong, the citrate group added on there means there has to be a change to the dosing in order to dose the same as nolva should be, I cant remember the exact %more you have to dose it but Dr. Dana H has spoken on this more then once on multiple boards and has listed the exact ratio number.

So when this guy is dosing his already laughable dose of 5mg for a week hes actually getting like only 3mg
