On first cycle of Hdrol and 500mg Test E/wk, Anastrozole 0.25mg EOD, 3.5 weeks in.

I woke up with irritated nipples this morning and I'm debating on the best way to combat early gyno. I've been taking anastrozole @ 0.25mg.

I also have nolva on hand in 10mg tablets, I've read that it may be beneficial to take it 20-40mg until symptoms subside.

Thoughts on adding nolva @ 20mg ED for 5 days and increasing anastrozole to dosing every day?
 
Nolva blocks estrogen at the nipple. Anastrazole lowers estrogen levels. Imo you should first try to dose 0.25mg ED and see how it goes.
 
Wait it out and see if it progresses.

your options are arimidex, and letrozole.

Leave it until you start getting puffy.

Then action plan -

1.Take 40mg nolva and .25mg anaztrazole
2.Continue both until nipples return to normal.
3.Drop the nolva and continue the anaztrazole .25mg eod or e3d until pct
 
Your 3.5 weeks in so approaching maximal blood concentrations, the itchy nipples may just be a temporary reaction to the high test levels (therefore higher estrogen via aromatisation) It may just subside and go away on its own, It happened to me on a cycle of Cypionate for a few days never to return... (been on about 31-2 yrs)..
One thing, don't touch it, leave it alone..!!

If your unlucky and it gets worse:

Killing estrogen with letrozole will prevent any gyno issues however since it has already flared up it might not help you straight away. A low dose of test can be used to prevent estrogen build up, but the testosterone wouldnt be much more than an HRT dosage.

Lower your estrogen and you wont have problems.... Adex will lower aromatisation 0.5 EOD...

With Letro (Femera) one thing to watch is rebound. This can occur after using high levels of AI's like Letrozol. Typically Letro is ramped up from 1mg to 2.5mg over a period of a few days & tapered out the same way to allow the body to adjust. However even with this regime, if you have been using Femara to kill off some gyno lumps or as an anti e after a long & heavy cycle, you need to jump onto a lesser AI like Adrimidex or a SERM like Nolvadex to taper out & avoid rebound for a couple of weeks after the Letro has finished. Many guys have found out the hard way by not doing this & end up with worst gyno than before the treatment started. I would have to check the science on this but pretty sure its documented in studies....

So in summation: Keep an eye on it for now and increase the Adex to 0.5 EOD, see how it goes.... If it gets worse you can always lower the Test, and jump on the Letro....
 
Thanks for the replies. I think Genetic Freak hit it head on- the irritation seems to have subsided after 3 days of irritation. I have letro on the way in case the symptoms return and now I have a better idea of how to handle it if it returns.
 
Steroids are always remain under discussion since from its invention. As its excessive use of it cause any harmful danger to muscle or tissue. Many athletes and sportsmen were banned due to it. Always use them it to its limits.
 
Lol let me interpret that :
People always discuss steroids ever since they were invented. Their excessive use can lead to problems in muscle (not true imo) and in tissues (which?). Many athletes were banned due to steroids (DUH). Always use them with caution.
