Female on Anavarcycle, sideeffects (breast)

[flowergirl]

Hi there! I'm new here. Girl, 30 years! Hope i'm posting this the right place. If not, correct me!

Please excuse my language, i'm scandinavian

I'm in my third week of the cycle. Started with 10mg/day, but after 3 days i had to cut. That was waaay to high dose to start with for me.
So I took 2,5 mg/day for 2 weeks. This week (week 3) i have increased to 5mg. Works well. I'm considering to increase the dose up to 7,5 mg in maybe on week, or maybe when I start week 4?? I think the cycle will last for 8 weeks.
I split the dose in 2, in the morning and before workout in the evening.

My sides are: oily skin, but seems to adjust. More temper/anger (... can live with it), more hairgrowth on my head (happy for that! .

The only really bad sideeffect is my BOOBS! They started to shrink after just some days after I started... I have implants, so I guess they won't disappear... But I am not happy about them right now. Feel and look so..empty! So my Q is: Will they return after my cycle? Experiences?? It cant just be because of less bodyfat, because it happend just after some days! Must be the hormones?

Can also add some of the positive effects: extreme pump in muscles i never used to get pump (especially the ass and legs). I was BF% 10 before i startet, so i've always looked lean and pumped. I feel like I've lost more fat on my ass, feel leaner and harder all over. But still waiting for some "more" to happen! I feel i've gained a little more strenght.
People have asked me, before I startet on VAR, if I was on the juice (i was not, this is my first cycle). So I looked pretty ok and fit before I startet.

I hope some of you can relate to the breast-issue I cant find anything about it on the internet! If you have other comments other advice, feel free!

I would suggest you stick to around 5mgs and don't go over for now, there is no real need if you're getting good results.

Most side-effects from steroid use by women are permanent. What you're experiencing is likely a lowering in your bodyfat levels, which is something you can reverse (in theory) and a few other factors.

Just an fyi, steroids aren't the best thing for women. There are a lot of other natural options out there.

Thanks for the answer WolfpackAlpha!!

Yes, I will stick to the 5mg at least for one more week. If I feel I have hit the wall, maybe I'll increase. Its very easy to get impatient!

I'm totally aware that side-effects for females can be permanent (like if you experience enlarged clit, the voice etc). I keep an eye to this, and if anything feels wrong I will quit. But the boobs... havent heard of it. Might be the bodyfat, like you say. And that should be possible to reverse.

Patience is key, especially for women. Stick to 5mgs and don't up the dose; work hard on dialing-in your diet, training and lifestyle to utilize this time properly.

Ok i will stick to the 5mg. *realitycheck*

The training and diet is good, but there is probably always room for perfection, i guess.

Still hoping some of you have, or have heard of girls in VAR with the same "problem"!

If you're talking about smaller breasts, like I said it's one of the common sides that females might experience. I've had female clients who insisted on light anadrol cycles and had smaller breasts after the cycle (of course they were a lot leaner).

Remember, these are male hormones, so with females the sides can be unpredictable and variable from person to person.

yes i was talking about the smaller breast-problem.
Actually, i'm not into fitness for competition, so i am happy about my pretty natural BF at 10%. Well.. just have to wait and see what happens to "them" after the cycle. Some weeks after... I did the boob-job 10 years ago, so i had started to think about a re-operation. Maybe I have to consider that for real now,haha., hehe, just trying to use som humour. Its not the worst thing in the world that could happen. My boyfriend misses them though...

I would say the breast shrinkage is definitely due to your bodyfat levels since 10% is extremely low for a woman (props to you for achieving it) but just be sure you don't stay that low for too long since it can result in some damage to your body and it's reproductive cycle

Also as stated above 5mg is more then enough, you just need to be patient

Best of luck to you
