when concerned over possible gyno upstart while on a test cycle, is there a certain minimum amount of time one should maintain their low dose nolva? most things I've read simply state to take until the
symptoms subside, but that seems rather vague to me. If I
start noticing a level of nipple sensitivity I find unacceptable, or some puffiness I'm not 100% sure is merely estrogenic bloat from fat gain/water retention and start taking some of my tamox and feel better let's say, a day or two later, how can I be sure it wouldn't just come right back immediately after stopping usage?
Also,
Tamox is known to reduce gains while on test. I do realize everyone's chemistry is different and results would vary,
but I'd like to ask opinions on a general percentage range one might expect to sacrifice. If nolva could essentially null over 30% of my gains, of course I'd be more apprehensive and possibly put off treatment to make sure any symptoms weren't just paranoia. By the same token, if a low dose, say 10mg a day would be a fairly effective preventative measure but reduce my gains by less than 30%, I might find it worthwhile simply for the peace of mind that potential gyno is far less likely.
Bare with me as it is my first T cycle, so I just don't have any personal 1st hand experience when making these kind of judgement calls. I'm sure the experienced guys will understand. On one hand I don't want to impede my gains unless absolutely necessary, and on the other I'd hate to end up with gyno because I waited too long trying to see if my fears were well founded before taking proper countermeasures.
