No - Always have nolvadex. Fighting gyno from Sus is easier because you only get it from one source - where as deca you could be getting gyno from one of two ways. IMHO Sustanon is much better than deca. It's test after all.

i would definately say sust. if you go with deca, you either have to get some winny, or get RU-486, which isn't easy to find. go with the sust.

Nolvadex? And what the hell would you do with that. Rub it on your "Deca-tits?".

barney what are your dosages ? I doubt the nolvadex would help with deca tata's anyways.

"with Deca you get Gyno from one of two ways"
WTF?????

Deca is progestenic. Period. It has no ESTROGENIC
activity to speak of. You can only get progesterone
-induced gyno fromn Deca.
And Deca has A LOT LESS sides than Sust.

Godspeed

3finger, get your facts right first, deca can cause estrogen related gyno due to elevated test levels, hence the need for nolvadex, i dont have nolv because of seeking advice on these boards and getting information from dipshits like yourself who dont know jack, so fuck up or fuck off!!


king john, i was only doing 300mg a week deca/ 30-50mg day of win (hence the reason i dont think the problem is prog related), its not really noticeable just a swelling of left nipple and itches when wearing a heavy shirt in both.

OMG, you've been here a year and you still don't
know how Deca works?!!!!!
Deca causes gyno because of estrogen elevation????
Are you nuts.....
Even better...."due to elevated test levels"
WTF??? Deca raises test levels???
Man, you need to do more research.
Nandrolone is not testosterone.
Nandrolone suppresses test levels.
And Novaldex does nothing for
Deca-induced gyno.

All I can say is WOW!!

Godspeed

fonz,
i have spoken to a lot of mods about this issue, and i am surprised you to (as i respect a lot of what you have to say in the past) are unaware of the action deca takes part on the body, here is one of the better explanations i have seen
Deca is just a derivative of testosterone, less androgenic (and therefore less anabolic) but a form of it in any case. Testosterone is more harsh (being more androgenic), but any "steroid" is just a form of testosterone. The introduction of exogenous (from the outside) testosterone throws your endocrine system out of whack, the exrta test tells your body that there is an imbalance, so it produces estrogen to try and strike a balance. If you are prone to it, the receptors in your breast tissue sense the estrogen and respond by growing you your very own set of boobies! A.K.A. Gyno

Hence nolvadex is needed for deca if you are someone that is not willing to leave anything to chance, i have learned personally from this mistake.

I'd like you to post the name of the mod that
told you that because its blatantly wrong.

Nandrolone is NOR-testosterone.

When nandrolone is exogeneously
given to a male.

1. Test is suppressed.
(Endogeneous test levels are basically nil)

2. Aromatase Enzyme levels are now
IRRELEVANT because test is nil.

3. Nor-testosterone DOES aromatize,
but to Nor-estrogen, which is about
30% the strength of estrogen.

So now the only estrogen floating
around is the estrogen expressed
by the fat cells.

I find it VERY hard to believe you got
gyno due to this. If you did, you're
EXTREMELY sensitive to estrogen.

Godspeed

i agree that it is really rare but i dont agree with you saying that 'period.it cant be estrogenic', some people are extremely sensative, i now believe i am one and i know of others that have posted on this board with similar prob's. i just wish people wouldn't be so cut and dry on issues when they are providing misinformation.

OK now I'm getting confused. I am about to start a Deca/Winny cycle, and I am prone to gyno when I have taken test in the past. I need to know how to combat this and when to start. Do I really need Nolvadex, Proviron, or both? Should I start mid-cycle, or just when symptoms occur? I really need some answers from people w/ experience from this, so please help a bro out!

I friend told me it is is not uncommon to get signs of gyno a few months after your deca cycle because deca stays in your system for a long time. Is that true?

Is it that you guys don't know the answer or is it beneath your level of intelligence. Maybe some mods could help with this one.

I wouldn't worry about it. You can ommit any type
of anti-estrogen. Winstrol would be a good choice
because of its anti-progesterone capibilities though.

I hate to say it but Fonz is correct.
Nor-testosterone is not a testosterone derivitive. This is how deca (nandralone) differes from other AS. It will supress the natural test levels MORE than exogenous injections of testosterone due to its two mods of action: hypothalamal feedback inhibition and progesterone's effects on leutinizing hormone inhibition. It is probably harder to recuperate HPTA afer a deca cycle.
Deca (nandralone) will convert to nor-testosterone through the 5-alpha reductase pathway. Once it becomes nor-testosterone, some may convert to progesterone. However, it is structurally impossible to convert nor-testosterone into estrodiol. Therefore antiaromitase will not help as they bind to estromitase enzymes and will not hinder the conversion to progesterone. However, nolvadex is thought to have progesterone antagonistic properties. RU-486 will block progesterone from its respective receptor sites which is probably the same way that winstrol emits its effect.
In the unlikely case that you do actually get gyno from deca/winny, you are extremely suceptable to progestrogenic activity and woudl be advised to only use AS that is derived from testosterone so that you can use an antiestrogen.

Holy fuck am i ever fucked up, Iam about to do a sustanon cycle with 300 mg of deca per week, and I never used it before, and I never heard of ru-486 or whatever it was, so armidex and novaldex are defensless against deca. I don't know if I want to do deca now.

no, it defineitely aint the weed.
yes, you should be worried about gyno months after you stop deca just ask harmonic.
i'll have to agree to disagree with these boys about estrogen and deca, all i'll say is if you wont to take the risk without the nolva, go for it.
