Letrozole will suppress your sex drive. This is another reason why it is so important to act on preventing gyno as soon as possible. Since we all know that Test should be run in every cycle this will cancel out the effect of sex drive suppression.
Running GP Letrozole to prevent gyno:
If you decide to run estrogen protection while on cycle, you can run either a Selective estrogen receptor modulator or an Aromatise Inhibitor. GP Letrozole will be the most powerful Aromatise Inhibitor you can use, it will inhibit 98+% of estrogen using a dose as low as .25mg and even lower. This is why is suggested do not use a dose higher than .50mg while on cycle just trying to prevent estrogen related side effects.
You will want to start running the GP Letrozole approximately 2 weeks before you begin your cycle to allow it to fully stabilize in your blood. It's popular argument that letro takes up to 60 days to stabilize. To be safe - start it before your cycle as stated above.
If you do decide to run GP Letrozole there is absolutely no need to run another Aromatise Inhibitor or Selective estrogen receptor modulator. Do not make the mistake of thinking more is better. Think of it this way; if letro is preventing the conversion of androgens to estrogen than there is no estrogen, what would the purpose of a Selective estrogen receptor modulator be when there is no estrogen to bind to the receptors? Nolva will only take away from the effectiveness of letro.
Do not listen to anyone who tells you to bump up your nolvadex to 60+mg ED if you get gyno. Nolvadex will do nothing to reverse your gyno…let me make that clear IT WILL DO NOTHING FOR GYNO. If you are running nolva as your anti-e and start to develop gyno than sure you can bump the dosage a small amount to try to prevent it from progressing further, but letrozole must begin ASAP.
It is very important that you begin taking GP Letrozole immediately, the longer your wait the more risk you take in not being able to reverse it.
How do I know if I have gyno?
If you have developed gyno you will have a lump behind your nipple. It will be fairly hard, and it will be tender to touch.
Running letro to reverse gyno:
There are three different scenarios which people could fit into. Remember regardless of what scenario you are in it is important that you begin taking the letro ASAP.
1. Already using an anti-e aside from GP Letrozole.
2. Already using GP Letrozole @ a dose of .25mg or .50mg ED.
3. Not running any estrogen protection.
1.
Day 1: .25mg GP Letrozole + anti-e*
Day 2: .50mg GP Letrozole
Day 3: 1.0mg GP Letrozole
Day 4: 1.5mg GP Letrozole
Day 5: 2.0mg GP Letrozole
Day 6: 2.5mg GP Letrozole **
2.
Day 1: .50mg GP Letrozole
Day 2: 1.0mg GP Letrozole
Day 3: 1.5mg GP Letrozole
Day 4: 2.0mg GP Letrozole
Day 5: 2.5mg GP Letrozole **
3.
Day 1: .50mg GP Letrozole
Day 2: 1.0mg GP Letrozole
Day 3: 1.5mg GP Letrozole
Day 4: 2.0mg GP Letrozole
Day 5: 2.5mg GP Letrozole **
*Regardless of the anti-e you are using it is important to still use it for the first day you begin GP Letrozole as the GP Letrozole will not have taken any effect and you by no means want your body to be without any protection when gyno is already prevalent.
** You will remain at this dose until gyno symptoms subside. Once you believe your gyno is gone it is important to stay at this dose for another 4-7 days to ensure all traces are gone. People with a bf% over 15 stay on for a week as it may be harder to judge completely whether the lump is completely gone. Once this period is over it will be important to taper letro down slowly rather than coming off it completely. Regardless of which manner you tapered up your dose you will all taper down in the same fashion.
Day 1: 2.0mg
Day 2: 1.5mg
Day 3: 1.0mg
Day 4: .50mg***
Day 5: .25mg
***You can remain at this dose or go down further to .25mg. It is really up to you at this point. They are both very common maintenance doses as an anti-e while on cycle.
Letro and the estrogen rebound:
With your estrogen being completely inhibited there is a definite estrogen rebound as your body tries to re-stabilize the testosterone:estrogen balance. We can prevent this rebound effect by supplementing further with another Aromatise Inhibitor or Selective estrogen receptor modulator. When you are coming to the end of your cycle you will more than likely be using GP Nolva in your PCT so just make sure that you begin taking nolva the last day you are going to take your letro and then continue on as you would with regular PCT.
