Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hey Jack - in general terms (we all react differently) a 100 mg shot will spike to ~ 1200-1400 in 24 to 48 hours and then will decrease in half every 5-7 days. With that said you would probably be free of the affects in 7-10 days. Once the body sees the big spike in T (1-2 days after the shot, your E2 will start to build over the next 1-2 days. It should lag the T by about 4 days so in about 14 days it would be gone. The level that it has affects though is not as long. My experience is it starts 3 days after your shot and is gone about 7 days after your shot. DIM did not work for me - I use arimidex and it works great.

Date: Thursday, December 11, 2008, 1:32 PM thanks for reply. figured it was E2 after all i've read over last few years. however, u say u live with it. when does one ever feel any good knowing they'll be bloated after a shot. more importantly, how long till the shot of 100mg wears off? u said u inject every 16 days? wow...most do 100mg every week. regardless, i'm not gonna take another shot. jsut gonna stick with 25mg clomid daily for 6 wks. thanks! jack > > You are injecting a powerful steroid, more than your body can handle > at the time of injection, therefore some of it is converting to > estrogen, hence the bloated feeling.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Well it has only been 1 week - things I have noticed is my testicles are not really bigger but they are more full. Also I get many night time erections on the night of my shot so I think it is working. I am due to get tested in a couple weeks.
