Opinions on Letro?

[MattJS]

I'm in week five of my first cycle (test enanthate @500mgs p/w) and showing some gyno, I've been taking tamoxifen with little result, have letro on hand and aromasin on the way, I've read a lot lately about letro effecting peoples gains plus problems with libido and ED, just wondering if I should hold out for the aromasin or hit the letro in the meantime... I've not hit any dramatic strength or size gains yet and am worried if I use the letro might not get much benefit from my cycle. Anyone used this stuff? What was your experience?

If it is gyno i would suggest starting the letro while you wait for the aromasin, you dont wanna end up with breasts. Just use a light dose to start as you dont wanna kill all oestrogen. When the aromasin arrives begin that but continue running the letro for 10 days (anybody got a better time frame in mind?) whilst allowing the blood levels of aromasin to build up, you dont wanna rebound of estro while you wait for the aromasin to take effect.
Ive never done letro so this is just how i would do it in your position but im sure some more experienced guys will stop by at some point

I you have full blown gyno then you need to react to it. The reason you take Letro is to expeditiously knock out the gyno within a week or 2, so you can move forward with your training. Will your appetite suffer and you suffer some sides, probably however its temporary and it works. I have put together a table for you to run your letro.
Start running Letrozole at .25 and greater immediately. I have outlined a table for you below.

Day 1: .25mg letro
Day 2: .50mg letro
Day 3: 1.0mg letro
Day 4: 1.5mg letro
Day 5: 2.0mg letro
Day 6: 2.5mg letro **


You want to remain at this dose until gyno symptoms subside. Once you believe your gyno is gone it is important to stay at this dose for another 4-7 days to ensure all traces are gone. I recommend people with a bf% over 15 stay on for a week as it may be harder to judge completely whether the lump is completely gone. Once this period is over it will be important to taper letro down slowly rather than coming off it completely. Regardless of which manner you tapered up your dose you will all taper down in the same fashion. This is a very common problem and you are not alone. I typically run .25 as a maintenance dose. Good luck to you

Thanks guys! Is the letro likely to have a significant impact on my gains? Ie can I expect not to make any while on it? Perhaps I should extend my cycle to 12 weeks instead of the 10 I had planned. My appetite is pretty crap already but I still normally hit 5-6k cals per day. Thanks for the table Arabian, I'm not really noticing a 'lump' per se, more that my nipples are sensitive and itchy and seems to be a bit more tissue behind them. Will start the letro.
