Still bloated, no weight loss - 2 weeks into PCT?

[Deadlift75]

Did a 12 week Test E only cycle (My first cycle), never ran an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) so defo have water retention, bloating issues. Other than that got amazing gains - 74KG - 86KG and strength went through the roof.

Took two weeks off after last pin then started post cycle therapy (pct) of Clomid(50)/Nolva(20) every day.

That's been 4 weeks off cycle and two weeks into post cycle therapy (pct) and I haven't lost a pound, my testes shrunk a lot but they are coming back to life now and getting bigger daily so I feel like I'm getting back to normal - but still bloated?

Is this normal? Any solutions if not?

I've heard reducing Sodium and Salt levels but neither is anything above moderate anyway.

you need to run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), that will get rid of bloat and keep your estrogen from rebounding.

Sodium is salt. They're the same thing

So run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) asap along with my post cycle therapy (pct)? Is that the only solution? Cant get hold of an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) locally hence why I never ran it on cycle so ill prob have to order online (I'm in the UK) so I'm guessing that will take a while.

I was under the impression AI's should not be used post cycle because it can drive estrogen too low, and therefore further damaging an already sensitive Lipid Profile?

^^ just run the Aromatase inhibitor (AI), you will only feel better

and no point worrying about your lipid profile now, you just ran test for 12 weeks......

Aromasin is always good to add into post cycle therapy (pct). Not only will it help with E rebound, it always boost natty test just like Nova Ans clomid.

i myself never run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) either, but my preference i guess
as i am gonna order some and see the diference running an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) composed to not as i am not prone to gyno symtoms and high bp, only thing i notice is i def hold alot of water and hard to define those muscle's so in a few weeks gonna give it shot in my cruizing stage

Managed to get an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) (Arimidex)

I'm 3 weeks into post cycle therapy (pct) OF Clomid/Nolva - should I take the Arimidex asap or when post cycle therapy (pct) finishes? Also how much should I take and how often?

 

[Deadlift75]

double post

 

[sickbrahh]

run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and pound down h20 like its going out of style

 

[Deadlift75]

Running Arimidex now (0.5 eod) and my left nipple has started getting sore/sensitive - I'm trying to get my head around what's going on inside my body - I knowits estrogen related?

How should I deal with the gyno symptoms? Up the arimidex dosage??

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!

ok bud im UK based also so i know it can be hard to get Aromatase inhibitor (AI) what brand is it firstly are you 100pcent sure its g2g... i would personally move onto .5 ED.. by a lot of water at least 5 liters a day.. with regards to your nipple have you checked for lactating squeeze them and see if a clear liquid comes out if it does im no expert but it could be a prolactin issue as elevated estro can cause this.

your estrogen levels should have been kept in check with an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), it snot healthy not to, high blood pressure from bloat can cause issues, sometimes deadly to some.
It may take WEEKS to level out your estrogen and other hormones, wait it out now and watch your salt intake. (you need salt for brain function so dont avoid it all together) also drink lots of water, you will hold less if the body is used to always getting some every 1-2 hrs. At least 1gal I rec dont pass 2-3gal over the day (too much water is bad and can kill you if electrolytes are down and water brings them down further.)



good luck

this can happen on or off cycle.

I dont rec an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) now that you are into post cycle therapy (pct) and ending it, just let things ride out, and next time do it right.

dude you fucked up without havign an AI.
now let it ride out and recover, just my op.

so now you are having gyno?.......

not sure what to tell you, i guess if you have gyno you need the Aromatase inhibitor (AI). but it may level otu on its own, all this could have been avoided so easly. *noobs read and learn* alway have an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on hand at the very least, BEFORE starting cycle

I wish you the best man.

if in a few more weeks your not good, you may need to go see a doc... *DONT tell him about off script aas use!, say its supps or something*

taper off Aromatase inhibitor (AI) dose over next couple weeks and then tuff it out...

Its arimidex - I think it was British labs or British dragon or something like that?

The gyno issue has gone, no lumps or anything just felt sensitive but its gone.

Will run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) next time for sure, I've learned the hard way.

I'll do .5 ed of the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) for a week or so then taper off and wait it out like you said.

Is there anything diet related I can change, less carbs etc? My diet is clean as a whistle 99% of the time.
