Myth Buster - Prolactin Tren/Deca

All 19-nor-androgens (So chemical structure Family of e.g. Deca-Durabolin and Trenbolone) can cause progesteron induced gyno.

19-nor-androgens are also called 19-nor-testosteron and this is because they are identical in structure to testosteron except for a missing carbon atom at the 19th position.
(all anabolic/androgenic steroids we know are based on testosteron except for ethylestrenol which is based on progesteron)

Nonsense that Deca doesn't cause gyno! --> It causes both forms!
Sure Deca has only 20% of the capacity (of Test) to form estrogens, but by it being prostagenic (meaning it can bind to the progesteron-receptors, progesteron in women causes breasts to grow and the milkproduction to start, so in men it does the same and couple that with the estradiol + estron production and things won't get any better) it is even harder to treat Deca-Gyno!

Now with the exception of Oxabolone (which I have here lying just waiting to be converted and shot in my body

)
And trestolone (Unalkylated Cheque drops, which need to be injected, so no more crazy livertoxicity!), all 19-nor-androgens can cause a rather nasty form of gyno...

Now the thing is that ProgesteronGyno is only induced if enough estrogen is present.

Now I want to set things straight:
All performance enhancing steroids (with the exception of about 3) can cause gyno!

The thing is that we rarely see DHT-derivatives cause gyno is because they have the ability to block aromatase (the enzyme that converts compounds to estrogens)

I know for sure my e2 is not high enough for progesteron gyno to happen. Like I said my e2 has been no higher then 20 in the past 3 months so I know i have it in check. I'm gettin my bloodwork done today and I will know for sure.
 
It all depends on what your personal goals are and what you want to achie
Myth: You need to take caber if you are running Deca/Tren because it will give you bitch tits.

Common forum lore states you need to run caber with tren/deca. It has been my personal experience that prolactin and Tren/Deca have 0 correlation. This has been found in literature as well.

If there is a correlation, it is between estrogen and prolactin. Which leads to the second myth buster in this thread.

Prolactin induced gyno is not possible physiologically. Prolactin alone create glandular tissue. If you have a high estrogen, it is the culprit for said "gyno" not prolactin.

In conclusion: Do not spend your money on caber, it serves no purpose. Well, caber is used to treat acromegaly.

Acromegaly is a condition where your brain produces too much IGF-1/hGH. So this medication will lower IGF-1/hGH, but what importance could that be to us weight lifters?

Sorry if this post seems arrogant, just busting a myth.

I ran deca BY ITSELF BACK IN THE DAYS and I could not get it hard. Took me a year to get it up and running at full capacity without pct. I just grabbed that deca vial and juiced me with 200mg a week.
Everyone who saw me had to ask wtf I was eating. Everyone asking me "what protein you taking?" whats your exercise routine? "idiots" :)

I told a few the secret ;-)



Computers were inexistent back then and the Arnold Magazines only talked about creatine and protein :-(

Right now im cruising with 100mg of each test/ tren. So basically 200mg total pw. Im currently cutting at the moment and i dont really want to lose all my muscle. Right now im going through a crisis as hurricane irma caused alot of damage where i live. So i won't be able to get blood work done for another couple weeks from now. What i don't understand is how come my nipples change the way they look at different times of the day. My left one i can see the lump through my shirt sometimes but there are other times where both of them look perfectly normal almost like they shrink. They usually look normal after my workout or when i get out of the shower or when im cold. My last bloodwork showed my e2 was at 20 and that was like 3-4 weeks ago nor do i have any high e2 symptoms.
You are not going to lose all your muscles if you eat right. try 150mgs week and stop the tren for now. You can't run tren year round and expect no sides.

If you don't want to be on TRT then try to pct and recover your own production. Clomid-Nolva and if not enough throw 500ius hcg/week here and there during pct to bump your test even higher. Just not high enough to cause gyno

Trt or cycle ? You choose...
Cycle can push you in to TRT if you crash your hpta or testes.
 
Got my labs in. I dunno how my e2 went from 20 to 129 in a month? Ive even dropped my test dose from 150mg to 100mg. Could it be a rebound from the nolva simce i dropped it or were the previous 2 tests wrong? I dont think nandrolone would of gave low e2 levels if they were high? What gives? My e2 was never this high only on my first blast of 500mg test with no ai. How could it gone to that same level on a trt dose? Could the tren give false e2 readings on this type of test? If i start arimidex do u guys think i still have a chance to fight off this gyno lump?

Go donate blood. Hemo is high. I thought I read in the blood testing thread there may be a false reading, but don’t hold me to that. @Docd187123 any input Brudda?

Yea just read that tren gives false e2 readings with ELCIA method. So im still curious as to why i have nipple pain and a lump with everything beong in range including prolactin?
 
Im probably 16-18% bf. Im not running ai cus my estro was at 20 last time i checked nor do i have high e2 symptoms. My nipples hurt tho especially the left (bigger) one. Also the left one has a painful lump the size of a quarter. This all happened after my second blast with 150test/400Deca. My first blast was 500-600mg test only, i didn't take ai the first 8 weeks and my e2 was at 120 but i didn't have nipple pain just bloat and acne on shoulders. The second blast i think the Deca was test cus i had the same symptoms but worse like more acne and the nipple pain. Here's some pics, u can see in the gym they look perfectly normal but the other two pics in the bathroom u can see the saggy nipple from the side. The pics in the bathroom are from today and the gym one is from a few days ago but like i said they change in size at different times of the day. Could it be because im pinning once a week? Im using long esters atm.



Should've used an AI dude.

Beyond baffled why you didn't use an AI..
 
So what does that mean? Why does that matter if i take ai or not? Plus i blast and cruise. Have been already for over a year
Due to its chemical structure nandrolone is weakly exposed to aromatase (only 20% of the aromatizing activity of testosterone). However, not estrogenic effects are its main concern: nandrolone has a potent progestogenic activity (20% of progesterone). While binding to progestogenic pituitary receptors nandrolone causes increased production of prolactin, which in effect is very similar to estradiol. To prevent these side effects prolactin inhibitors shall always be at hand when on nandrolone cycle. An aromatizing inhibitor should be used such as Aromasin or Arimdex.

There's quite a bit of misinformation in your post regarding deca and its progestagenic activity...it doesn't have any significant activity.

Don't give advice you have no idea what you are talking about.

Ok whistle blowers. Please correct any mistakes. Just saying it's easy to say that's it's not correct, and not providing any data to back up your allegations. Please note sources where your information comes from. At the end of this I'll note my source of the laboratory study by the major pharmaceutical company who wrote this.

That's funny a major pharmaceutical company did a study with a university that I copied this from. No idea why when they could have asked you. What kind of reports and conclusions did your laboratory clinical study show? If you think that I would give Advice from my personal beliefs or a random hypothesis you are wrong. There is online data from the Ebook of roids.
