update: no longer is the tissue/muscle hard/dense, but the overall size seems the same... but its only just 1.5 weeks in (assuming its oestro related)

I have seen a few cases where the use of letro has reversed gyno, for good.

I have only seen one case with ATD. The chap was taking 75mg IIRC, 50mg before bed, and 25mg with breakfast

If it is pubertal gyno (pseudo-gyno) then I am unsure, this is referring to real gyno (actual hard lump under the nipple)

I have always had puffy nipples to, naturaly, no lumps and havn't used steroids. It goes when I pumped or cold but the rest of the time they annoy me.

It would be beneficial to source letro.

50mg ATD is fine. Remember to take at least 25mg just before bed

Are you saying that Letro or even ATD can remove puffy nips permanently or is it just going to get rid of them while taking the above?

After researching the forums, it seems puffy nipps is a very common affliction but few openly talk about it in the real world

haha... aye. i can't imagin any of the lads bringing up puffy nips down the gym, not very macho!

the higer your bodyfat the more puffy your nipples will be, that's just the way it goes. the exception being overweight people especially fatties, who have the misfortune to suffer the man-boob. if you think about the average build of dudes in this country then you're looking at a lot of people with puffy nipples and boobs.

thanks rokkus, i'm 90% certain it isnt gyno.

the hardened/larger muscle immediately behind the 'teet' of the nipple seems less red today and less sensitive. hopefuly with time the hypertrophy/inflammation will decrease...

your idea about the fat loss is something i do want to try aftr xmas to see if that helps with the underlying puffyness

@mark

dude, i wouldn't worry about slightly puffy nips unless you have lumps forming, especially if your lass doesn't notice anything.

a way to reassure yourself is to do a few sets of push-ups, enough to get a chest pump. work it from all angles ie feet elevated, different hand positions, really get your chest pumped. have a good flex and check yourself out in the mirror. i'm certain your 'gyno' will have gone away.

if you're carrying a little bodyfat like me you are bound to have a bit of 'fluff' around your nipples. after a chest session and for a few days after my nips look fine, getting to the end of the week i notice more 'fluff'.

try what i said and fingers crossed you'll get a little reassurance that it's not gyno. as over the last 10 months, if you were getting gyno you probably would have a much more pronounced case of it by now and not nailing it sooner. i don't think taking an ai would do anything even if it was but if it makes you feel better go for it!

My nips are slightly better... no way perfect but compared to what they were like I'm starting to feel calmer about the situation

i'm running ATD @ 50mg/night and Act Xtreme (my Stoked was stolen after just 2-3 days in from my gym)

If gyno is already present it is not going to go away. Letro I think will be your only option.

Tbh your just going to have to come to terms with them. Mine are exactly the same. Most people have a slight bit of gyno even those who haven't used AAS or DS's. You have to rememeber it is only noticable to you.

I've never run a cycle and I get it, some days its better than others but it really bothers me. Thought it might be water because of the creatine??

I understand, i was thinking of using Novadex xt as a follow up because it is ATD based too

but for now, I will try 50mg/night of atd and stoked (trans res) and see if there is anything reduction

however, and this is a big however, i'm not sure at this point how to differentiate between fat and glandular tissue as there are no lumps, just a soft puffyness and slihglty mounded nipps

Well the Nolvedex XT has had some good reports, who knows, me I would be concerned taking too many OTC "meds" one after the other.I fyou haven't got any hard tissue under the nipples I would personally try ATD at 50mg for a week or 2 (take it with a tablespoon of olive oil as this is supposed to improve absorption) then taper off to 1 cap over a week or so. Have a rest and then perhaps try the Nolvedex, this is only my non qualified opinion of course.

there is an interesting thread over at anabolic minds of a guy running novadex xt at 3,2,2,1 with gingko and his lumps in his nipples have gone.

i think perhaps, i should run my atd @50mg/day and stoked as usual for a further week, and if nothing changes then order some novadex xt.

what do you think?

Re:OTC supps to help with puffy nipps? (Dav)

No with regards to the topical formestane the guys I have read about who have had some success have applied it to the nipple area, so maybe some direct localised effect?? Doesn't Nolvedex XT have a "secret" propriotary blend or something in it. Anyway some have used to some success, I am also aware that round where I am according to a friend who is very knowledgeable it has gained quite a following as many of his "clients" are using it rather than some "real" meds for Estrogen control/drying out purposes??

Re:OTC supps to help with puffy nipps? (mark118)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:57:46 GMT

ok, im going to up my dose to 50mg/night.

that should help leaning out slightly and with water retention to help work out if its fat or glandular

Re:OTC supps to help with puffy nipps? (mark118)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:45:48 GMT

NB: not sure if it matters but formestane is an AI as with ATD so if the end goal is the same, not sure if it matters in my situation

Re:OTC supps to help with puffy nipps? (mark118)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:44:14 GMT

thanks Dav

topical formestane becomes systemic but that is an interesting oestr blocker i'll look into

novadex xt... ATD + ..? not sure if my stoked + ATD compares

AND whether i should up my own ATD dose to 50mg@ night

Re:OTC supps to help with puffy nipps? (Dav)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:39:03 GMT

Both Topical Formestane and Nolvadex xt have from reading on some other boards had success in some for this/gyno.
