Thread: Nips puffy nips after HCG during 500mg Test E cycle

It is something that can happen. Up you aromssin to 12.5mg ed and then to 25mg if that doesnt work.

Twice I've noticed slightly tender, puffy and itchy nips, and popped 10-20mg Nolva one per day for a day or two. It goes away in a couple of days. I'm getting a suspicion it's soon after the HCG shot. Does anyone else notice this after HCG? Is 500iu really going to have an effect on estro levels, or is it not estro related?

Is it fine to continue occasionally dosing Nolva like this, or is this a sign that I should be on higher Exemestane? Any help is appreciated guys.

I'm in the UK and if I get them at all, I will try to get blood levels done after PCT. I don't have any other side effects, it's going really well.

5mg of Aromasin ED won't do shit bro. You need to be running it at 12.5mg ED minimally, but with your issues I would say 25mg ED would be safer. Remember that HCG will also increase E2 levels. If you start getting any gyno, I would recommend running Nolva at 20mg ED until it is resolved. Where did you get the idea to dose your AI so low?

Ok thanks I'll up the Aromasin again.

I was dosing it low because my 1st 10 week test cycle I didn't use an AI or HCG on cycle, and it was fine except for bloating in the last couple of weeks. So I thought I'd start at the bottom and see if any elevated E2 sides appeared... Looks like these are the E2 sides I was looking out for.
