Gyno Prevention and Reversal
This will try to answer questions regarding gyno
prevention and reversal, the use of Letrozole and other anti-E's. I will go over
everything in very simple easy to understand language. Also we are talking about
estrogen gyno here, not progesterone (but using letro will stop progesterone
related problems as well since it inhibits all estrogen anyways). Progesterone
gyno will be enlargement of your nipple area, the actual aereola, not a lump
under it.
Let me make this first point very clear, as I state in my signature this is from
my personal experience, so whether you agree with it or not is your own issue. I
have helped many people with gyno and it has worked just fine for them as well.
To first understand why you are doing what you are doing I am going to go over a
few things and a few definitions:
SERM Selective estrogen Receptor Modulator. These drugs work by binding to the
estrogen receptors and flooding them in a sense, making it difficult (but not
impossible by any means) for estrogen to bind to the receptors and thus prevent
the onset of estrogen related side effects.
Most common forms: Tamoxifen (Nolvadex), Clomiphene (clomid)
AI Aromatise Inhibitor. These drugs work by inhibiting the aromatization of
estrogen. This means that in effect AI's prevent androgens from converting to
estrogen, again, making it difficult (but not impossible) for estrogen to reach
receptor sites.
Most common forms: Anastrozole (l-dex, a-dex), Exemestane (Aromasin),
FEMARA
(Letrozole). For our purpose of reversing gyno we are interested in Letro.
Letro and your sex drive:
Letrozole will suppress your sex drive. This is another reason why it is so
important to act on preventing gyno as soon as possible. Since we all know that
Test should be run in every cycle this will cancel out the effect of sex drive
suppression.
Running letro to prevent gyno:
If you decide to run estrogen protection while on cycle (and I suggest you do
unless you are aware that you do not require it), you can run either a SERM or
an AI. Letro will be the most powerful AI you can use, it will inhibit 98+% of
estrogen using a dose as low as .25mg and even lower. This is why I suggest you
do not use a dose higher than .50mg while on cycle just trying to prevent
estrogen related side effects.
You will want to start running the letro approximately 2 weeks before you begin
your cycle to allow it to fully stabilize in your blood. I have often heard the
argument that letro takes up to 60 days to stabilize, I don't know if I buy into
this for the reason that I have reversed gyno after using letro for only 1 week.
Still to be safe I recommend starting it before your cycle as stated above.
If you do decide to run letro there is absolutely no need to run another AI or
SERM. Do not make the mistake of thinking more is better. Think of it this way;
if letro is preventing the conversion of androgens to estrogen than there is no
estrogen, what would the purpose of a SERM be when there is no estrogen to bind
to the receptors? Nolva will only take away from the effectiveness of letro.
This brings me to my next point. Do not listen to anyone who tells you to bump
up your Nolvadex to 60+mg ED if you get gyno. I have no idea where this idea
started but I have seen it suggest far too many times recently. Nolvadex will do
nothing to reverse your gyno let me make that clear IT WILL DO NOTHING FOR gyno.
If you are running nolva as your anti-E and start to develop gyno than sure you
can bump the dosage a small amount to try to prevent it from progressing
further, but Letrozole must begin ASAP.
It is very important that you begin taking Letrozole immediately, the longer
your wait the more risk you take in not being able to reverse it.
How do I know if I have gyno?
If you have developed gyno you will have a lump behind your nipple. It will be
fairly hard, and it will be tender to touch.
Running letro to reverse gyno:
I am going to go over the three different scenarios which people could fit into.
Remember regardless of what scenario you are in it is important that you begin
taking the letro ASAP.
1. Already using an anti-E aside from letro.
2. Already using letro @ a dose of .25mg or .50mg ED.
3. Not running any estrogen protection.
1.
Day 1: .25mg Letro + anti-E*
Day 2: .50mg Letro
Day 3: 1.0mg Letro
Day 4: 1.5mg Letro
Day 5: 2.0mg Letro
Day 6: 2.5mg Letro **
2.
Day 1: .50mg Letro
Day 2: 1.0mg Letro
Day 3: 1.5mg Letro
Day 4: 2.0mg Letro
Day 5: 2.5mg Letro **
3.
Day 1: .50mg Letro
Day 2: 1.0mg Letro
Day 3: 1.5mg Letro
Day 4: 2.0mg Letro
Day 5: 2.5mg Letro **
*Regardless of the anti-E you are using it is important to still use it for the
first day you begin letro as the letro will not have taken any effect and you by
no means want your body to be without any protection when gyno is already
prevalent.
** You will 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.
Day 1: 2.0mg
Day 2: 1.5mg
Day 3: 1.0mg
Day 4: .50mg***
Day 5: .25mg
***You can remain at this dose or go down further to .25mg. It is really up to
you at this point. They are both very common maintenance doses as an anti-E
while on cycle. Personally I have stayed with .25mg and never had a problem.
Letro and the estrogen rebound:
With your estrogen being completely inhibited there is a definite estrogen
rebound as your body tries to re-stabilize the testosterone :estrogen balance. We
can prevent this rebound effect by supplementing further with another AI or
SERM. So, I suggest that when you are coming to the end of your cycle you will
more than likely be using Nolva in your PCT so just make sure that you begin
taking nolva the last day you are going to take your letro and then continue on
as you would with regular PCT.
This now leads us into the question of reversing gyno while not on cycle. There
are a few things to remember here. You have already waited longer than you
should have, and your sex drive will be shot. You can use tribulus or another
natural test booster to help you in this scenario but I can�t guarantee the
effectiveness. Just follow gyno reversal protocols 2 or 3. When coming off again
you must taper and begin using Nolvadex to prevent any rebound effect that may
occur.
How much Nolvadex should you use if you are not going into PCT and running this
off cycle? I suggest starting at 20mg ED for a week and then lowering it to 10mg
for another week and then coming off completely.
