Why am I still watery & bloated with this much AI/AE???

[T-Matt]

What kind of potassium supplement did you use? Can I get it at any nutrition store, i.e. GNC?
Thanks

Worked very well for me.

I'm sure Macro and or Ulter can suggest something even better than that.

Thanks guys for your replies.
Here are some quick notes about the "other" factors:

I usually drink 2.5-3L water everyday (have been doing that always)
I don't put any salt in my food except for what's already there when cooked
I have changed my diet resently (last week) where I am trying to cut as much carbs as possible and any sugary stuff/pop

Why I think it's estrogen is cause I have not changed any nutrition habits from the time I was on this summer.

I have had more than 10 cycles and never experienced this kind of water retention/bloated look. The only thing I did do differtently from other cycles is: increased my HCG dose (10K IU's instead of 5K, basically doubled).

I was reading the Anabolic 2002 with recommended HCG doses. So I tried in hope of speading up my PCT and natural test recovery.

its the hcg it is notorious for spiking estrogen levels

Drink a ton of water whilem u r waiting !! even go as high as 4-5 gallons a day and after 2 weeks just stop drinking all that for like 3 days and let your body flush!!

How long do you guys think it takes to clear out excess estrogen?

AIFM will not help you with HCG E levels. Nolva can do that in some tissues but not in others. But since it's only present for a short time there is no real reason to remedy this. HCG does it's job and is gone very quickly.

Wow, this board is an AIFM machine now..... What ever happened to REAL AI's? Do they not exist on EF now?

Here are some of my thoughts, other than what everyone else has already said...too much SERM's....100mg ED clomid AND 20mg Nolva? Personally, I would've chosen one or the other and just extended the PCT for a couple more weeks (4 weeks may not have been enough to recover from a 6 month cycle!)... way too much HCG also...I don't see why anyone would need more than 5,000-10,000iu over the course of 10-21 days.....I'm sure your estrogen levels were through the roof! Also, arimidex is CRAP.... even 1-1.5 mg ED didn't get rid of my bloat.... IMO, aromasin is the best choice for cases like this, followed by AIFM... only aromasin has ever completely gotten rid of my bloat

nolva can actually make you more bloated
proviron helps but its NOT an AI.
arimidex is WEAK, unless your estrogen issues are due primarily to sulfatase (which is generally not the case)
very much agree on the sodium and pottasium issues


HYDRATION can also make a HUGE difference
