I know I'm gonna get torn apart here, but I need advice on the proper way to do this.
Here's the long story of why I am where I am right now...
I started AIFM use beginning of Oct 06. I used 1 spray EOD, and thats it. I used it until around Xmas time (so like 10-12 weeks I'm guessing) at that low dose then stopped. I didn't notice any sides from stopping.
A week or 2 before Easter 07 (so beginning of April), I started using it again - also at 1 spray EOD. I used it continuously until about mid-June, so another 10 or so weeks. One big difference this time around was that I left town alot for long weekends. I would use the AIFM EOD, then "front load" a dose right before I left to give me 2 days in a row, followed by 3-4 days of not using it. I think this happened 4 times during that 10 or so week run.
Mid June I stopped again...no taper - shouldn't need it at 1 EOD right? Anyway, I noticed some increased nipple puffiness at about the 8-10 day mark without it (while also using tongkat lj100 @ 80mg 5 days on, 2 days off). So I used it again, i think only 3 doses, 1 ED, then I went on a 10 day vacation, so I didn't use it again for about 2 weeks (I think 15 days). I cut back on the LJ100, thinking it might be the culprit for the sides (80mg a day, 2 days on, 1 day off).
After the 2 weeks off, I again went back on the AIFM, I only used a couple days of AIFM @ 1 spray a day since I was noticing a little extra nipple puffiness again, then no use for 10-11 days. I also dropped the Tongkat completely a couple days after stopping the AIFM.
I then started again after the 10-11 days @ 1 spray EOD, and used it over about 10-12 days, with that sort of "load" dosing at the end - 2-3 days in a row (so maybe 7 doses), then stopped use.
Now things got bad. I was off for 11 days. I noticed nipple puffiness and some water retention at about the 1 week mark. On that 11th day, my nipples started itching bigtime, and the puffiness was bad. Over the next couple days, I had full blown gyno symptons - itching, burning, puffiness, slight increase in the size of the hard lump under my one nipple. I started back on AIFM (I had no nolva, never thought Id need it), 1 spray ED. That wasn't stopping the symptoms (duh, estrogen already bound to the receptors, that takes a while for those effects to stop), so I upped to 2 sprays a day. I did twice a day dosing for I think 4 days. I got symptoms to go away, I am now probably a bit worse off than where I was way back before I ever used AIFM in terms of nipple puffiness, and the lump under the left is back to where it was if not slightly bigger
