Help post-cycle please

Was hoping to run a Test E cycle of 400mg/ week x 10 weeks. On the 8th week, I developed an allergy to my AI, AIFM, and had to stop using it. Upon completion of my 9th week, I was severely bloated and my nipples were constantly itching, so I stopped my cycle short, thus completing only 9 weeks. I figured that I could go 14 days till I started PCT, which would be Clomid 50mg/day for 21 days, and that I would be alright.

My last Test E shot was 8 days ago, so I still have 6 days till I start the Clomid. Problem is, I am having symptoms of high estrogen - I am bloated which is causing fluid retention and edema around my ankles, my nipples constantly itch, and I have a flushed look to me. People keep saying I look like I have been in the sun alot.

I now know that I should have had another AI on back up. I will not make this mistake again, thats for sure. Problem is, even if I order another AI today, I wont receive it for at least 5-10 days.

From what I have read, Clomid has some anti-estogenic properties. I am not sure what the exact mechanism is. Would it be a good idea for me to start the Clomid today at a low dose, like 25mg, then start my "normal" PCT dose of 50mg in 6 days? Or will this actually make my problems worse? Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You'll get lots of conflicting opinions here.

My advice; go on a-dex or aromasan now along with this: http://proteinfactory.com/shop/product.php?productid=110&cat=0&page=1#tabs

You may want to take some dandelion to flush out some of the bloat. Wear a sweat belt when you work out. Excess water isn't dire and easy to remedy.

I would get another AI as soon as possible and I would start the clomid at the original intended time.
Funny that you should gain an allergic reaction after using it for 8wks. Are you sure it was from the AI?
Either way,let that be a lesson to keep more than one AI on hand.
I usually have 3.

I am for sure it is the AIFM. On week #8, after I applied one spray to my left forearm, I felt a burning sensation, and developed a rash to the area where I applied the AIFM. I thought the same thing - 8 weeks on AIFM, and now I get a rash??? So I stopped using the AIFM for 3 days. I then applied one spray to my right thigh and same thing - burning sensation and rash. Yesterday was 2 full weeks since I had last used it. Because my nipples were itching and I was bloated as hell, yesterday I went ahead and tried one spray to my stomach area. Today I have a rash that is in the shape of a circle where I applied the AIFM and it itches like hell.

I dont know if I can classify it as a "true" allergy. I do know that my body is now rejecting it and I can no longer use it.

How good do you think this stuff is Nelson?

Worth adding into your PCT?

Absolutely. A natural anti aromatase an anti-e plus liver protectants (ala' Tylers) maca and epimedium for libido plus cndium to help with ED. You can't beat that.
