anavar and missing periods

[Lenny]

I have a question, is it possible for females to miss periods due to anavar(5mg/everday for 5 weeks) even when on birth control? Just trying to gather some information.

My Girlfriend is also using 5mg of Anavar, with excellent results I might add, and had all the PMS symptoms and never started her period. Bumpin for any Female Bodybuilders out there with some info.

i had taken anavar and lost period before... i was not taking BC though at the time....

i have started var again and oddly enough just got my period but its only a week into the cycle

First off, most birth control pills are synthetic estrogen. So this by itself will stop periods, thats why women have to take about 5 days OFF and eat the sugar pills so the period comes back.

Adding 1 more AAS to the mix will obviously shut down the normal hormone cycles of a woman even more

BTW- I had a female friend who was big boned (maybe 30 or so pounds overweight but she played lots of sports) and she was taking NO birth control of any kind. One 5-10mg tablet of winstrol shut her down immediately plus she gained like 10 pounds in the 1st week!

She didnt want to gain weight, she was trying to slim down so she stopped taking them cold turkey and her cycles came back to normal.

from my own experience, both on birth control and off, any type of aas are likely to shorten or halt a womans period. BUT, that is only part of the puzzle with us women. As her bodyfat lowers, she will also lose her period. I've lost mine for as long as 2 years, prepping for 3 shows kept my bf% at 15% at the highest and down to 6-8% on the low end.

No worries. She should be happy!

Just my 2cents but taking BC with AAS is pretty counter productive. There are other methods of birth control besides the pill.

Would do you suggest. Like the depo shot, or just palin old condoms. My fiance ia going to be doing some var and is on the pill.

Just Starting

Hello, I am going to start taking Var for the first time. Can anyone give me a clue, what can I expect? I have been working out for about 2 years and lost 85 lbs. now I'm on my way to the next level. Watchout BowFlex Grandma,
Viking Grandma's on her way out.

Well, my girlfriend has been taking 5mg's of var per day and has dropped 5% bodyfat. Her muscle tone looks amazing right now. She didn't drop a ton of weight, but put on some lean tissue. She has missed a couple periods while on, but that is combination of both being lean and the var.

bf% is another big factor to consider

var and water retention

Well, I made good gains in in muscle strength and size on the first cycle of var. I also gained about 4 lbs of water while on and once off it left. I did 10wks and lost one period the last month. I got it back the next month . I however was not on BC. I too feel that is counterproductive.

 

[MaNiFeSt]

bf% is another big factor to consider

i agree.

my ex gf was a figure competator and when she got under 10% bf she lost her period and was not taking anabolics at the time, just fat burners.

 

[Sassy]

I have no experience w/ this because I've had a hysterectomy. However, prior to my hysterectomy when my bf drop below 10% I wouldn't have my period. However, I was still natural at the time.

my wife just stoped her 2nd var cycle her 1st one was 5mgs ed 8wks had no sides and period was fine 2nd cycle was 5wks 5mgs ed then 10mgs ed for 5ks 2nd month missed her period. but i will tell you what a change she starting to look like a fitness comp. she has always been pretty lean, she had no other sides.but she is some horney. now she does not want to stop taking it.she may try primo next

Missing a period or two is usually followed by another 7 months of steady weight gain. After 9 months there will be a dramatic weight loss but not quite as much as you gained. This is followed by a total lack of freedom for 18 years or so. The male member of the couple will gain weight around the mid-section. See my avatar for example.

Well, when you reach your stud status, you will have to wave off all the vixens! Now, get back to work mister and you better be working out tomorrow, no excuses!!!!

My wife just came off Var approx 2 - 3 weeks ago . She was really frisky & extremely horny, i miss it.
Periods back to normal.
My BIG question is she has been experiencing more than normal hair loss since coming off. We both are a little concerned will it stop is it a result of Var usage or is it because she has been a little depressed since coming off???
PLEASE, anybody have an idea???
Her shoulder also started to hurt real bad, Chiropractor said Tendonitis. I think she was lifting to heavy, plus she was a gymnast so who knows what sort of stress she put her joints through in the past.
She is 20 just kidding 32.

Generally speaking, any aas - not just the hard stuff, but the presence of any aas within the time of 1 menstrual cycle will most likely shut off the flow but it does NOT completely remove all the accompanying symptoms -- mood swing, bloat, cramps, etc.

Other stuff mentioned can cause ammenorhea as well -
- low bodyfat - generally below 12% but is very individual
- major change in physical activity or diet, even stress

If AAS is involved, barring the above issues, normal menstrual flow should come back once the AAS has cleared your system and a new monthly cycle starts (ref: detection times to get an idea of when stuff should be clearing your system - var & winny should clear within 3 weeks, so you could expect a normal cycle to start up again within the next month. Harder stuff can be longer.)

ACK -- re: your wife's depression, etc. Take a look at the degree & speed of increase of her training - max weights, volume during the duration of her var cycle. If there were significant increases in a short period of time you can absolutely expect that the weak links in her body, e.g. joints took a beating not having a chance to build up & accommodate the increasing weights. AAS also tends to mask those pains that normally take longer to heal. The depression, hairloss etc. that sounds more like either a hormone imbalance or a thyroid issue. Since the var should be clear after 3 weeks you might want to get her in for a standard physical and get all her hormone levels, thyroid, etc. tested. Just so coming down from the higher T levels may not be completely done yet, you might want to let it settle for a while longer - see if the issues continue for say another month and then go in to see an endocrinologist or just get a standard physical to eliminate any obvious causes. Or things may just pass after a little bit more time.

wonem should not ake any BC while on gear. very counterproductive. i suggest 10mg of var and 10 mgs of win tabs.
