Anavar effects on women

Hello Ladies,

recently my girlfriend took anavar for the first time.
dose - 20mg/day (yes, it was high, but they came in cap form, thus you could not split the dose)

anyway, she took for about 3 weeks, then stopped due to breaking out and oily skin.

She has now not gotten her period in two months - and is worried. (we took two pregnancy tests, thankfully for me - they were negative...)

have any of you heard of anavar messing with menstrual cycles?

thanks for any help
 
Sorry i'm not a lady but i train a good one that uses this substance..

yes, you are correct that is a big dose

and yes it will normally mess with their cycle at 5mg..

you probably have not messed her up, she will recover with time..

2-4 months..
 
Yes, absolutely. Anavar impacts hormone cycles so it is common for women to not have their period while on and for months afterward. It typically takes about 3 weeks for Anavar to completely leave your system but the sides can last much longer. If she was on an estrogen based bc while using that also creates hormone confusion and can delay the sides from going away. One last thing - a low body fat percentage can also stop a monthly cycle from occuring. I assume she didn't lose a ton for the few weeks she was on for this to be an issue but just be aware.

Yes 20mg is a heavy cycle, particularly for a first timer. If she would like to cycle again start with 5mg a day for a couple of weeks then take 10mg in two doses. I have seen this be very effective with little sides (know that everyone reacts differently and no aas is safe). The oily skin and acne can be very bothersome. It is a common side and if she is to cycle again have a really good acne regimen in place and you will find it to be much more tolerable.

Over time, she can upgrade to 20mg a day ;-)
 
Get your girl to sign up to elite bro. I will hook her up with a free plat. We love having new woman to post with all the ladies here.
 
Anavar while considered "safe" does have profound effects on men and women. As little as 5mgs a day will impede the natural production of testosterone in men.
That being the case I am sure it has an effect on women too.
 
The 1st cycle of var it didn't messed with my period I was taking 5mg then upped to 10mg The 2nd cycle of var I started taking 10mg, upped to 15mg then went up to 20mg and my period was 2wks late, the next period I was on time but didn't bleed as much. It stayed like this until I finished the cycle.

I had oily skin and boils on chin, small pimples around ears boils on back of neck. With any steroids there is a small price to pay regardless of what anyone says, she has to decide if spots and lack of/less menstrual cycle is OK for her :)
 
I find the key with steroids are to take as little needed to achieve the desired results.
There are always pluses and minuses. The key is to keep the minuses as small as possible.
 
I have done a few cycles of var before and acheived my desired goals wit has little as 5mg-10mg day..no more. always split. however, this last cycle, I am having undesired side effects that I have never had before. lots of blotaing, in face and middle. I have gained 15 lbs in 6 wks, granted it was after a cmpetition and i was depleted. but does this sound right or normal? would taking nolvadex with the var help keep the weight gain and the bloating down?

It could be lots of things. You may be taking in more carbs now and your body is reacting to that by retaining water. Has your body fat percentage gone up? Has your diet or supplements changed in any way?

I would not recommend Nolvadex. It works for some and not for others but most importantly there is terrible rebound. Talk about being swollen! Oh my.

If you do want to try the Nolvadex, ramp up and down and when you go off add a thermogenic to aid in keeping your weight in check. You may however still gain tons of water weight. Just be prepared for that scenario - it is pretty common.

Btw - welcome to EF!
 
Hi and welcome to EF!
 
Thanks! glad to be a member...and thanks for tip on Nolvadex. I thought it helped take the water off! The things you read!!! Is there anything recommended for shedding the water other than drinking more water?!
 
At first the Nolva seems to help a tad. It targets fat cells in the upper thigh area and breasts. (your breasts will disappear). I wouldn't take it for water weight though - way too harsh on the system.

It sounds like you want to get the water weight off that you recently gained for no apparent reason. I had this happen to me a few weeks ago. I felt puffy and my face actually hurt I had so much water. I took an over the counter diuretic for 5 days and it did the trick. PM me and I'll tell you more (diet options and other supplements)... I find that these supplements do not work unless you are already pretty low bodyfat - sounds like you are.

At this point I would add a little more cardio and drink a gallon of water (or more) as well as green tea. You may even consider a thermogenic to intensify your workouts. LipoFlame is my favorite (agxsports.com). Do that for two weeks or so before adding any additional supplements.

I'd be glad to help with your training if you need it. Hang in there! I know what you are going through!!
 
Re: Anavar effects on women--HELP

Hi, I am wondering if my voice will go back to normal if i took anavar for 2 monthd and its no a lot deeper! everyone thinks im sick, or loosing my vouce but its because of the freakin var. I stopped taking it just after two months because my voice kept cracking. Ive been off it for two months now, but its still cracking, but does that mean its going back to normal?

Hi I'm going to start my second cycle with anavar, and the first time I took anavar for 8 weeks at a doseage of 10 mg every day.
I did not pct, but now my coach thinks I definitely should, due to the way I reacted. He says I could bump it up to 15 mg this time around, but I"m a little hesitant. If I do increase the doseage, should I shorten the time or cycle?

What dose did you take? If it's been a couple of months already, I would say, sadly, probably not. Var has a pretty short half life and would be long gone from your system by now.

How did you react? What did you see from 10 mgs? Is your coach recommending anything specific for PCT? It's hard to answer for sure without knowing more info but a good rule of thumb imo is "more is not always better".

It's possible, but my guess would be no.

Anavar is a relatively weak androgen, but an androgen nonetheless. I'm afraid it's become rather common for women to casually use anabolic steroids without fully appreciating the risk. They are not for the casual trainee. They are powerful drugs with potentially permanent side effects.
 
It seems like there has been an increase in the number of new female members asking about steroids (anavar) or having already taken steroids and now wondering what to do about the sides. I am amazed at how many women are turning to steroids to lose weight and "cut up".

I know I have read great post in the past about women and steroids, but maybe someone could re-post an introduction thread about the risk vs benefits of women using steroids. I just cringe when I read a thread of a 5'1" 155lb women with 26%bf who is taking anavar to "cut up" and lose weight and then wonders why her voice has dropped an octive.

I remember the post...only because I read and read and read about that exact thing. I can picture the avi of the woman who posted it too but don't remember the name. I'll do some digging and see if I can find it. I read it and it was probably the best thing I could have read on the different drugs. A really good reality check!
 
Regarding voice... I have a similar problem. Partially var related, career related (I do a lot of talking for my job), and partially age. Went to throat dr to make sure vocal chords were ok. Recommended voice therapy, which I'm currently doing, and I'm learning to use my "new" voice. It's helping a lot and I don't sound so raspy and hoarse now. So it's irreversible, but workable.

My first cycle of var isnt really messing with my period. It actually came a week early and was really light and just spotty. The oily skin is a pain, but well worth the tight muscles and extreme pumps I have been experiencing on only 10mg ED going on my 4th week. No skin blemishes but I'm still on a low dose.

She just needs to decide what she is comfortable with and if it is worthit to her.
 
Just wanted to add my 2 cents here (I'm a newbie to this forum). I did one cycle of Var a year ago at 10mg cut up in 5/2x a day. No side effects at all. This time I did the same for a week them upped to 20mg. My face immediately broke out, boils, etc. Never had acne before in my life! Did this for 2 weeks and my period was all screwed up so cut back to 10. Face cleared up and all seems fine.
 
To all women considering using Anavar, please consider the side effects first...here's my story...

I started my first cycle last week, 5mg per day. By the SECOND day, my voice had started to deepen, similar to when I know i'm getting a cold. It got deeper over the next 2 days until I reminded myself (courtesy of google) what the side effects were. I stopped the cycle immediately after 4 days of 5mg - it's now a week later and my voice has NOT returned to normal - and everything I read online makes me think my new husky tones are permanent!! Don't get me wrong, I still sound like a woman lol but it's noticeably different to before. On the plus side, I felt a great pump after working out, within a couple of days too. I am usually very sensitive to any drugs/workout regime changes, but I wasn't expecting s/e's so damn quick!!

Seriously though, ladies please be aware that Anavar (no matter how much of a 'ladies' steroid it is) has some serious impacts on your body - make your choice knowing all the info :)
 
I am all new to this kind of stuff i toke my first dose ever of anything this morning i am taking anavar 20mg once per day is this a good amount i need some advice im hoping to lean up not gain but possibly loose a few or tone any suggestions i also have liquid clen but not sure if i should take at the same time if this doesnt make any sense please be aware that i am a pure rook when it comes to this please please please need advice :)

Part of me wants to ask for stats before I advise you.

But the other part of me doesn't care and says to discontinue the use of steroids. They're not the answer.

I'm saying this because your post makes it painfully obvious that you did little to no research before purchasing these items. Do more research before resorting to illegal substances.
 
please research things before you ingest , inject or otherwise consume them
if you think hormones are a joke please go google ruptured ovaries , not saying anavar will do that by any means but just as an example of what happens when you hyper stimulate ovaries from hormones
20mg once a day of anavar as something to just jump into is absurd..it could seriously screw you up to the tune of excess permanent body and facial hair, permanent voice lowering and will not make you "thin" it actually does the exact opposite..how bout cystic acne that leaves permanent scars?

go look up oxandrolone and AIDS patients....and clen? just cut it out..the sides from clen are unbelievable
please read a LOT more and be more proactive before you jump to this crap
 
I have encountered many times anavar being fake or impure, blended with dbol etc. and has caused problems for women in a hurry, ie really oily skin, voice crackly etc. my women has run real var at 10mgs no side effects.
make sure u trust your source!!!

Hi, I am really new to this whole thing and recently decided to try Anavar 5mg/day. I have Hypothyroidism, but thought I would still give Anavar a shot.
I took it for about a month and noticed I was a little more on edge, more sexually driven (which I can handle) but had a lot of girl issues (yeast infections) Is that normal???
I stopped taking it due to that. Now I am really emotional and feel like im on a roller coaster of emotions.... Please tell me this is temporary and things will go back to normal? Also does anyone know how long will it take?
Has anyone else ever had the issue of having yeast infection while taking Anavar?
 
I have been reading the posts and have similar effects and questions myself. I started about 4 weeks ago on my first cycle. The first week I took 10mg a day broken in half, 5mg in AM then PM. I then upped it to 20mg a day. 10 in Am and PM. My diet and workouts have been on point for over a year but I wanted a boost in getting cut. In the past four weeks I've gained 8lbs and have noticed bloating in my stomach and legs. My pants are all fitting tight. From what I see 20mg a day is high, however my workouts have been pretty rigorous to begin with and I dont feel any different during my workouts or after even when taking the 20mg. What could this be? Any ideas? Should I lower back to just 10mg a day. I almost feel its a waste and I wouldnt see any difference.

Sounds like it isn't legit. Like others have said, sometimes people sell dbol or mix var with dbol...dbol will make you bloat. So it sounds like that's what happened.

Yes, drop it back to 10. Assuming it's real var. More is not always better. You will gain weight, for sure, on 20 mgs.
 
For the record 10mgs is a lot. Its all risk versus reward.
Being a guy most people think taking 1cc of test a week is really, really low. The reality is that 250mgs or 1cc is 250% of the maximum a man naturally produces. I tell guys if they can't grow on 250mgs they have no business using steroids.
Same thing for women. If you don't get crazy results from 5mgs of Anavar the fact is your diet and routine are crap and its time to look in the mirror.
That said some people want to bodybuild on the national stage. When that happens people take more in hopes it will lessen the time it takes to put on muscle. I have said this before. I know a female IFBB Pro bodybuilder and she has never taken more than 10mgs of Var and some clen. She still looks femanine, sounds femanine too. All of her success is from knowing what to eat, how much to eat, when to eat it and why she is eating it.
It can be done. Start low. Maximize your results with your meal plan and routine. Then reevaluate.
I find it alarming people will do 10mgs or 20mgs for a first cycle. They are getting bad advice. You only get one body in this life. Take care of it. Start slow. You will be glad you did.
As for taking the same dose and getting results over and over. It happens. I can do 1cc of test a week and still grow and get great results. You don't have to keep upping the dose. It all depends on your goals and what you are willing to risk.
Dave Palumbo who is known as the Anabolic Freak has a motto and it makes sense: "take the least amount necessary to achieve the desired results".
Makes sense...

Hey all! So I am brand new to the world of forums never mind to Elite.
I have been in the fitness industry for 6 years now. I have always prided myself on being an all natural girl, however this year I jumped the boat and decided to try something new.

I just started my first cycle of anavar. I have read and researched before I put the stuff in my body, however finding a lack of info regarding a side I am experiencing.

I am in day 11, and I am retaining a lot of water!! I am naturally a sponge but not this bad!!! I am a woman who is 40, a figure competitor, and a sports nutritionalist so I know the diet and workout end of things but taking things isn't in my knowledge base.

Anything you've got in the way of advice regarding the retention would help!!

Thanks!

Anavar doesn't normally cause you to hold like that....most notice cutting effects rather quickly. Anavar is commonly sold as fake and/or as dbol because it's cheaper, fooling the buyer...this may have happened to you

Any AAS can cause disruption in a womans menstrual cycle, but most commonly it stops it. Never heard of it causing it to go as long as a month

Welcome to EF, from now on please start your own thread.

Please stop taking anavar. You do not need it. Look into an over the counter fat burner and eat clean while upping the intensity in the gym.

STEROIDS DO NOT MAKE YOU LOSE WEIGHT
 
I took var 20 mg for a 4 week cycle and I broke out and did everything I missed my period while I was on it and for the first 3 months after my cycle and then it came back and everything is great! I don't even cramp bad anymore! So just let her know it takes a while for the side effects to get back to normal

When you mess with hormones you never know what's going to happen. When I cycle I don't get a period but I do spot quite a bit especially within the first 3-4 weeks of a cycle.

You suppressed your natural hormone production.

Go to the health food store, get some natural progesterone cream. You want one that contains 450 to 500 milligrams of USP natural progesterone per ounce. Use about 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon once or twice a day until the bleeding stops. It should stop within a day or two.

Steroids are nothing to screw with unless you understand what you're doing and why.
