Good day everyone.
Today concludes 2 months
subsequent to my 6 month raloxifene cycle to help me get rid of my
gyno, or at least most of it. And yes, it was a diagnosed
gynecomastia, quite noticeable (mastodonia and a chick pea size lump) and painful.
Background-
I developed gyno right after a cycle (prior to
pct) with Test, oxandrolone and
tren Hex. I believe the cause was bunk anastrozole. * Note that this was relatively new gyno, not a gyno induced at a young age that remained for many years.
PCT-
Did a conventional pct of
hcg,
tamoxifen and
clomiphene. Gyno remained. Pain was increasing by the day.
Raloxifene-
Started researching about this compound, made a post about it before jumping on it
Gyno partial reversal_Raloxifene.
Out of everyone that I spoke to on the threads, PMs, and the studies I read; I created my own protocol: 3 months-120mgs ED (NOT RECOMMENDABLE). 3 months after: tapering from 90mgs to 60mgs ED.
I believe 6 months minimum was the key , not the doses so much. Note that the raloxifene was bought at the pharmacy (Spain) with a prescription I created. No chance of being fake or underdosed.
Conclusion-
Its been 2 months since I got off Raloxifene. Studies show (I'll post the studies at the bottom)that a 20-30% of patients that received this treatment had a rebound effect and gyno appeared again couple months after the treatment ceased.
About 90% of the gyno has been removed. A little of mastodonia is the only thing that is noticeable to the eye, if looked with precision. Lump has shrunk almost all the way. My girlfriend and mother are witnesses lol, they can´t tell I have it anymore.
I am very happy with the results and plus I made some reasonable gains and stayed pretty lean throughout the 6 month period.
Downsides-
Noticeable Side effects: 1 rash on each foot that haven't disappeared yet, however are fading away slowly. Note that this side effect is mentioned on the pamphlet. I believe I wouldn't have developed it if it weren't for the 120mgs throughout the first 3 months.
Cost- 28pills of 60mgs of Raloxifene cost 20 euros here in Spain. Probably more expensive in the US and UK. So about 20 to 40 euros a month, depending on dose. Not that expensive actually...
Hopefuly this sheds some light, helps people who have recently developed gyno and want a different route than getting surgery.
Do not follow this protocol, do your own research and get blood tested for all the factors related to raloxifene's contraindications.
