cyp, bloating, itching, and aromasin

[samsaige]

I am on my 7th week of test cyp cycle. Cant say i love it as much as prop.

my choice from here will always be prop.

But anyway, i got itchy nipples, and alot of bloating from this cycle, around week 4.

i took aromasin right aways and with in 2 days all the itching stopped, and the bloating ceazed. i was back to normal.

am i ok to continue the aromasin for the duration of the cycle? and for the weeks of pct?

For pct i am going to use derma sustain that i had good results with also.

Anecdotal reports from athletes suggest that the use of estrogen maintenance drugs such as tamoxifen (anti-estrogen) or aminoglutethimide (anti-aromatase) may slightly hinder muscle mass gains during cycles. To date the most common explanation for why anti-estrogens may be slightly counterproductive to growth in the sports literature has been the suggestion that estrogen plays a role in the production of growth hormone and IGF-1. Estrogen may play an even more vital role in promoting an anabolic state by affecting glucose utilization in muscle tissue. It is important to remember that estrogen can deliver many unwanted effects such as increased water retention, fat deposition and the development of female breast tissue when it becomes too active in the male body. Clearly if we plan a high-dose cycle with an aromatizable steroid, anti-estrogens will be an important inclusion. However we cannot ignore the suggestion of using estrogen maintenance drugs only when they are necessary to combat visible side effects during mild to moderately dosed cycles, especially if bulk is the ultimate goal of the athlete.

I think I answered your second question as well in there.

Yes he will be missed. Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm closing the thread out of respect for his family.

He was like a brother to a lot of us and it was a huge shock when we heard about his passing. If any of you would like to talk, just shoot me a PM, anytime.
