Nolva instead of AI during cycle

[Matsuo Munefusa]

Nolva is an antagonist to estrogen receptors in certain sites in the body. In certain parts (the brain mainly) it is an agonist, so it functions like a synthetic estrogen/estrogen blocker (depending on where the receptor it binds to is).

Controlling estrogen is the trickiest part of being on TRT or cycling. It takes a long time, many blood tests, stable hormonal levels (so you know how a certain level of an AI is affecting a certain hormonal level). This is hardly achieved on cycle except by people with many many years experience.

A little bit of nolvadex is OK for controlling estrogen in breast tissue (it will block it)...no need to take it everyday as the half-life is quite long. Its really not necessary for controlling estrogen (in breast tissue) if you dial in your AI. But like I said if this is a cycle and especially under your 10th cycle you probably won't get this dialed (hence guys using nolvadex).

If said person was really that concerned with that shouldn't they be verifying all of this with bloodwork instead of asking random strangers on a bodybuilding forum?

Absolutely.

trying to control estrogen is like hitting a moving target (you might get it but you probably won't). Eventually with blood tests you will get it, but on cycle it is impossible, as hormonal levels increase every week throughout the typical 12 or 14 week cycle. By that time the cycle is over.

So having some strangers on a forum say "yeah bro take nolva if your nipples get puffy on cycle" is actually helpful advice.

The best advice is take an AI at a reasonable dose (hope it works for you) and if it doesn't work and you get high estrogen start nolvadex.

I'd rather somebody overthink things a bit when it comes to their HPTA than screw up because of ignorance and damage themselves messing up with anabolic drugs.

Your HPTA already damaged when using gear

Absolutely correct. Most don't ever fully recover their natural levels after using gear. But we can still minimize damage by helping somebody think something through...if we have time/patience.

12.5 mg ed nolva with 0.5 arimidex eod is what I'm going to try. What ya'll think ?

I think that's basically what I already suggested

For those already with a small case of gyno, 10mg/ED Tamox on cycle is normal. Then AI dosage is introduced/adjusted when using aromatasable compounds.

I'm going to be running deca so I'm worried nolva will bump my prolactin lvls up

If so, you need Cabergoline. I always keep it at least on hand when suing Tren and/or Deca.

What are you steroid doses?

Being gyno prone and already having a small case/growth, thats pretty much what I do now on cycle.
