Why are my nipples so puffy? (I'm on PCT)

[averageJoe]

Hey guys, I'm 14 days in my PCT, just finished ED shots of HCG and continuing with nolva 20mg /exemestane 24mg. It's been 3 days since my last HCG injection and still my nipples are very puffy?
Is HCG the reason? How long does it take to leave my system? I just thought it was strange because on cycle I was using letrozole and it wasn't that bad.

Technically, you are still on cycle until the aas leaves your system. HCG can keep you shut down and should be taken while you are still shut down from the aas even if it is between last inject and PCT with a longer ester. So to me it seems that your PCT has just begun.

When was your last shot of aas?

What did your cycle consist of?

How did you run the cycle?

More info is necessary.

It was a 12 week 400mg test e / 300mg deca. I stopped deca 3 weeks before test and my first HCG injection was 10 days after the last test injection.

I'm asking because according to Llewellyn exemestane is among the best for reducing estrogen (I'm talking it before bed and nolva when I wake up. if it matters) which got me a bit worried since I'm a bit puffy now..

thanks

If you stopped the Letro to fast it could be oestrogen rebound. What amounts were you using and how did you taper it?

I was taking 1.25mg every two days or every other day depending how puffy my nipples were. I stopped it with the last test. injection.

thanks

I wouldn't worry to much you should be fine with the aas out of your system. It seems you've done your homework by switching to Aromasin for PCT so it doesn't lose it's effectiveness with the Nolva.

How many more weeks do you plan on running Nolva /Aromasin?

How did you like the cycle?

I had to cut my PCT short because I'm running out of time for my cutting cycle so I did 10 days HCG, 10 days nolva/exam. Now I'm on an 8 week cutting cycle: 75mg tren EOD, 50mg winny ED
I'm gonna do a full 45 days PCT after this though and definitely have an 6-8 week break before going on gear again

Well, my friend, I've been lifting since 19, I'm 25 now and I realised that it took me 6 years to understand how to train properly. I've seen a major difference the past 3 months and it's not just because of the gear. I've learned to listen to my body, I'm training more often without having set days off. I take days off when I feel my body needs to. I've learned to focus on my lagging body parts and to be more flexible. I still have a lot to learn and catch up but I can see light at the end of the tunnel

As far as the gear is concerned, I don't think I can do the same deca/test cycle again. My diet was 90% of the time clean but still too much bloating and estrogen even though I was using letro. I'm used to be lean almost all year round so maybe its just mental but I can honestly say it was hard at times to keep downing clean cals.
The strength gains were tremendous on the other side after week 6 but if I'd do a bulking cycle again I'd keep it more lean by adding some winny or tren next to lower dosages of deca or test.

my two cents

This isn't something I would normally suggest but since you didn't fully recover on your PCT you might as well of stayed on. The only difference would have been shortening the bulker and going straight into the cutter. Now your going to be shut down for about 6 months. There are people that stay on year round but most of those guys compete. We are all grown men and make our own choices. If you don't mind being shut down for that long then hey, the choice is yours but if you do, next time you run into a situation like this run a bulker into a cutter. 10 week bulker (w/ front-load or kick-start) into a 6 week cutter.

I don't really care for the bloat either but the Deca helps me lift heavy weights (joints). I'm running Test /Deca /Tren right now and I like it. If you do run Deca and Tren together make sure you have Caber on hand.
