cold turkey

i quit steroids cold turkey back in 2007-2008. i was very uneducated and didn't know anything about a PCT. i've developed gynecomastia in both nipples so after reading a lot of articles, i've started using letrozole to decrease teh size of the lumps. it's been 6-7 months now that i've been on letro so i was going to taper down and start using nolvadex to combat estrogen rebound. however, i'm still kind of confused on what i'm suppose to do while on nolvadex. do I have to take anything else besides nolvadex while combatting the estrogen rebound? i've never done a PCT so do I have to take HCG, clomid, or arimidex while on nolvadex? my gyno has shrunk but there's still a bit left so i'm hoping the nolvadex will help. i just want things back to normal before i used any gear.


i realize i should've never touched it w/o proper education and i regret doing so. so please, any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. i'm not gonna be doing another cycle and i'm just trying to correct my stupid mistake years ago so if anyone could help me with this, i'll be really thankful.
 
how about consulting a real doctor and following their advice instead of self-medicating? Otherwise, get a blood test while you're self-medicating. hope you don't mess yourself up even more seeing as you obviously don't know what you're doing.

As for gyno, letro and AI's are used to combat formation of gyno. if it's already formed, then I don't think there's much you can do about it other than surgery. So if that's correct, you your gyno has been going away, then that means it's probably just fat, and not gyno.
 
i dropped to 8% bf and i feel the lumps decreasing in size. i got blood work done and they said my test is higher than normal but dind't get my estrogen checked. in order to safely combat estrogen rebound after i taper letro, do i just finish it with nolvadex? do i have to do anything else with nolvadex (PCT)? i'm planning to get surgery later since i do have loose skin in the nipple area. i jsut want to make sure that by the time i do the surgery, the gyno doesnt come back due to a estrogen rebound.


by the way, thank you for responding to this thread. i really do appreciate it.
 
You did say you were taking letro for 6-7 months so the rebound might be bad, how where you dosing the letro? To be safe you should run nolva at 20/20/10/10 (20 mg every day for a week, 20 mg every day for week 2, 10 mg every day for week three, 10mg everyday for week 4) i would start it the day you start tapering the letro, should handle any estro rebound effects well. Although, DOCTOR IS THE BEST OPTION HERE, seeing that you have not done the proper research, self medicating is very risky for you it seems
 
which doctor should i see? gynecologist? i was doing 2.5mg then took a break and got on nolvadex. after a couple of weeks, i jumped back on letrozole and im slowly tapering down every week. did 1.25 last week and now im gonna stay on at .50 till the last week of nov then .25

i was going to dose at 60mg nolvadex the first day then do 40mg for 2 weeks. after taht i was gonna do 20mg for a week then do 10mg

u think that will be enough for the rebound? how long does it take till everything balances out?
 
Did you really just ask if you should see a gynecologist?
The money you've spent on Letro you may have been able to put a down deposit on the surgery, deff could have payed for the doctors visit.
Bottom line go see a real doctor. If you have a vagina issue then see the gynecologist too.

If you don't know the difference between gynomastacia and a gynocologist, you've got a tough road ahead.

As much as I want to tell you to make an appointment for a gyno exam from a gynecologist(who knows maybe you need a pap smear... I can only imagine the the docs face when they saw a set of nuts instead of a vag, and the awkwardness of you getting into the stirrups would probably make for legendary hilarity, you probably wouldn't make it past the receptionist...) You want an endocrinologist, not a gyno exam.

For the record. A gynecologist does not treat gynomastacia. :lol:
