i have to think it's the stoppage of test, which means you are basically in a post-cycle mode (high estrogen), despite the EQ which isnt as anabolic or androgenic or strong....but still aromatizes.
i think it's strictly estrogen related.
there is likely merit to what you are indicating in certain situations/cycles, however, I did stop taking the test because I felt that was what initiated my problems to begin with........
since I had what amounts to a relapse after using letro for 2 weeks, we are trying to ascertain what could be the culprit. I have stopped the winny and EQ. If I do or don't notice results after a 2 or 3 full days off winny, as macro noted, that could be one mechanism readily eliminated or verified if acting as an agonist.
I feel I can say with confidence, that I have not been gyno prone on previous cycles, especially nandrolone cycles. What is disconcerting, is I was taking high end dosage of aromasin and AIFM (worked good for me for previous pct recovery) at cycle onset to prevent estrogen related gyno (no SERM), and it reared its ugly head only after 2 weeks? Now its fully entrenched and out of control, after 4.5 weeks.
The mechanism I am curious about now but do not quite understand is the influence of IGF-1 and how to control?
I will add one thing that may not have come across in my previous posts, I was taking a large amount of gear probably for my bodyweight.......what amounted to
1.9 grams/week at 165 lbs, with nearly triple the test I have ever used before, and 100 mg/day oral winny. I have a lot of cycles under my belt, but
could I have possibly overwhelmed my system not giving the AI a chance? I really don't know.
I sincerely hope this exeperience helps myself and others plan and recover from future cycles. Right now I have lost confidence, and am assuming the AG-Guys letro/femara is legit, but haven't had any joint issues. I have not taken any other prescription medicine in years.
