Hi, I'm seeking some info on some of the symptoms that you could possibly have coming of a 3 month anavar cycle. I'm having severe headaches with floaters in my eyes. Could this possibly be Estrogen rebound related? Thanks for any advice

I'd get a private blood test to verify that nothing crazy is going on, but I can tell you that females have amazing endocrine systems, and seldom are completely suppressed by AAS.

Privatemdlabs.com is around fifty bucks (Google for the coupon code), and you can get results in around 48hrs or less. In all honesty, if I were to guess, I'd look at hydration, as being water depleted has both those side effects.

My .02c :)
 
I just left the eye doctor and he thinks it's migraines. He said hormones could cause migraines. When a woman takes anavar, does it shut down estrogen? Or what affect does it have on the female hormones? Thanks for your replies

In *most* women, there's minimal impact on your hormones. My wife has been on testosterone for a couple years, which is far more suppressive, and she still has a fantastic LH/FSH/estradiol/progesterone. I would look at hemoglobin though, it is possible that your hematocrit (solid part of your blood) is a little higher than you like. As women (assuming not on hormonal birth control) release blood on a regular basis, this shouldn't be a huge concern, but the female panel from the link I gave above will tell you for sure.

If you want, you can just edit out your personal information from the lab results and post them here. I know a few of us here can help you interpret the results.

Floaters in vision can be from many different causes, which is why I suggest a blood test to rule out a few of them in one fell swoop.
 
Did your Doc give you anything for the migraines?
My wife uses Imitrex, says it works great.\
As my wife was getting her BHRT dialed in, she found that high E2 would trigger a migraine. 2mg a day of estradiol was too much, 1.5 mg just right.
That has her right around 30 pg/dl, about the same as me.

Thanks for the information. I saw my primary doctor this evening and he seems to think it is hormone related from coming off cycle last week. He said migraines/floaters are connected to hormone fluctuation. I hope he's right, as I've never had migraines and it's scary. This was my second cycle of anavar and I'm starting to wonder if this last cycle was legit. I had way more symptoms on it and I was at a way lower dose.
 
Thanks for the info Cbburr! He did prescribe me a migraine medication similar to initrex I think. I sound like a total rookoe, but what is BHRT?
 
BHRT, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy.

basically TRT for women after menopause. It is a lifesaver for older women, and the men they are married to.
Dr's put all of a womans hormones right were the want them, testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, pregnenolone, T-3 and t-4, iodine, Vit D.

next time you shop for anavar, check out anaboliclab.com a crowded funded steroid testing project. See who's got the legit Var

You should get some blood work and see where your hormones are, if you are going to cycle this is just another part of the program. Do you live in the US? If so, its easy to do your won bloods for about $60

Anavar is often faked unfortunately. Did you experience virilization side effects?

Read the link below in my signature. It will give you more detailed info on how to get blood work at the place Halfwit recommended. We can't urge you enough to run blood work.
