Let's begin with my first mistake. My first cycle, as I previously stated, was entirely methandienone-based. I was aware that certain AS have the capacity to elevate estradiol, and that a high quantity of estradiol can interfere with both the cycle's outcomes and our absolutely needless emotional background.
Due to the infrequent discussion of the oestrogen adverse effects of dbol, I refrained from purchasing aromatase inhibitors, which turned out to be ineffective. My gynecomastia started to manifest with just 30 mg of dbol each day. I didn't get blood work done, but I did buy tamoxifen to get rid of the chest swelling. In the end, everything went OK, but this experience taught me that even in very modest quantities, methadienone might produce gynecomastia in those with heightened propensity to aromatize.
Some people who usually contact me, say they don’t monitor their estradiol level and don’t get tested because they only use 250 mg of testosterone per week. Believe me, if 30 mg of dbol can result in gyno, imagine what testosterone's androgenic effects will do.
If you have never had a blood test and are unaware of both your baseline results and the values at various testosterone dosages, you will never be able to predict how much estradiol will climb. The degree of aromatization—the process by which testosterone is converted to estradiol—varies greatly from person to person and is very idiosyncratic. In addition, gynocomastia and any other adverse effects may appear at a range of estradiol levels in different athletes. To avoid tempting fate, get tested, learn how your body responds to steroid use, and manage your hormone levels.
Beginners are often primarily concerned about gynecomastia, but increasing estradiol can also have less desirable side effects, such as a reduction in sexual drive and the buildup of female-type fat (thighs, buttocks). Despite having high levels of testosterone and extra body fat, athletes frequently fail to recognise that poor libido is caused by high levels of estradiol.
A few words should be spoken regarding methandienone. You should be aware that if you add meth to your testosterone cycle, the meth itself does not become estradiol, the level of which can be easily determined by donating blood. Instead, it becomes methylestradiol. Unfortunately, you won't be able to identify it through examination, but you will experience all of the negative consequences from this substance, particularly if your estradiol levels are also high. Keep this in mind and slightly raise the dosage of your aromatase inhibitors in this situation. Sadly, your sole source of guidance in this situation should be your emotions.
