First Cycle!

**Boozie** · 07-17-2011, 12:27 PM

I am currently on my first cycle of test and had some gyno flare up due a PH I took about a year ago. Just ordered letro and have been hearing many different views on how to dose it. I have about 5 weeks left on my cycle and was wondering if I should be taking the letro every single day? My plan is to begin at .5 mg on the first day, tapering up by .5 each day until I reach a 2.5mg/ml. Then continuing at 2.5mg/ml for a few days until I see reduction in my left nip. Then tapering down the same way all the way down to .25mg to be taking every day until the end of my cycle. Following the last day of my cycle and taking letro I plan to begin my PCT (- 50 mg/ml clomid, 10 mg/ml tamoxifen citrate). I would really appreciate some feedback from people that have experience with gyno/letro and overall knowledge of cycles in general. Is my original plan on taking the letro at those doses daily ok? Is it better to take every 3 days? Also what would you guys reccomend as my dosage of my PCT especially if im trying to avoid an estrogen rebound? Please help! Thanks!

Sounds like you've done some research. Depending how bad your gyno is, you may not need to get to 2.5mg. I did half that with a dime size gyno problem, but I caught it right away. Yes, do ED however as you may know letro can kill your sex drive.

letro works great for me. if i was u i wouldnt go to 2.5. that really killed my sex drive when i went that high. the sweet spot is 1.25 for me.

might also dry you out a bit

Thanks for the response. I have done quite a bit of research, unfortunately my cousin who was also my mentor through all of this is out of the country. I heard I should maybe start at .25mg and increase by .25 every three days. What do you think of that? Also, when am I supposed to know when it is ok to taper down? Once the gyno is completely gone and I can't feel anything in my nipple? Or when it has reduced by a substantial amount. Do you think the aromasin will also be necessary considering the PCT I will be taking? I've done a lot of research and am just having a little trouble finding specific answers I need. Thanks again, I greatly appreciate your answers!

2.5mg Letro daily is standard.

2.5mg letro and I had completely nonexistent libido, I swear I didn't have sex or whack it for over a month... Joints were dry as well. Personally I think you'd be better off with 1.25mg letro and 10mg nolva

Considering this is my first cycle and will also be my first time taking anything like letro I'm thinking i'll max out my dosage at 1.25mg. So for the guys that have been on letro before, did you guys increase tapering up daily or every three days? And when did you know you were good to begin to taper down? I am thinking of starting at .25mg tapering up by .25mg every three days but taking the letro daily of course. So my taper up phase would look like this,

Days:
1-3 = .25mg
4-6 = .50mg
7-9 = .75mg
10-12 = 1mg
13-??? = 1.25mg

Is that too long to taper up? If I am only going to max out my dosage at 1.25 mg should I go ahead and taper up day by day? Keep in mind this is my first cycle and first time taking letro.

I would say .5 since it is just flaring up.

Taper up by .5 or star at .5?
