Bloating

[markluv]

I've been suffering from severe bloating for quite some time now. No matter if i'm taking 100mg of test or 500mg I bloat really bad. The bloat would go away once I'm done with my cycle but the problem is now i'm on HRT and I stayed bloated 24/7.

What can I do to eliminate the bloat? I eat a very low sodium diet, I drink lot of water.

Are you taking an ai

 

[NegroPops]

are you running any sort of aromatase inhibitor?

 

[markluv]

Long story short is yes. Long story - My doctor didn't prescribe an AI at first so my estrogen ended up being really high. I've been working on getting it down and ended depleting my estrogen (horrible feeling). I'm still not balanced out but should hopefully balance out soon. Will the bloat go away when I balance out? How long does it take?

Well it's hard to tell we need blood work if you need to bring estrogen down then u can try OTC stuff like d spark or formastanzol d spark probably being ur best bet if those don't do it u can try Arimedex or something similar

Yes, blood work right away. There is a sticky on this forum that details how to get this done for about 50 bucks. If you get it done tomorrow, you will have the results the next day, 2 days tops. If you find it is high, I would recommend aromasin at 12.5 mg every day, with an eye on bringing that down to eod. It will take a while, and a couple bloods to find the right balance. I would double check with one of the mods if you can use an AI indefinitely.

I did blood last week and my estradiol was 17. But I kept heavy dosing my AI before the results came back and i'm sure I depleted my estrogen. So I'm going to let a few days go by to let some of the estrogen levels come back up then I think instead of armidex i'm going to take Myomin.

Once I keep my estrogen level how long will it take for the bloat to go away?

Cut back water to a gallon a day. Run your normal adex dose and add in forma or dspark as necessary. You have to find the right balance for you. Different hormones and doses require different ai balance. I can run an ass load of test with very low ai dose but as soon as I add in dbol at any dose, my adex dose has to go up.

I get bloated real easy also. So bad that my wedding ring would no longer fit. I am on trt also and my doc gave me
Lisinopril and Hydrochlorothiazide just a small dose. It made a HUGE difference. Just a thought...

How about your progesterone/prolactin levels, did you check them?

 

[markluv]

I have not had my progesterone/prolactin levels checked.

I'm on 150mg of test a week. What dose of armidex do you recommend?

 

[markluv]

Bump

Also as an alternative what would be a good dose for aromasin on 150mg of test a week? Armidex makes me tired so I might go with aromasin instead.

For 150 mg you shouldn't need any aromasin. At the very most I would only suggest a little forma or dspark.

How much forma stanzol? (How many pumps? ED application?)

Start with 5 pumps twice daily. That works for most and you can always adjust from there
