[QUOTE="eyeheartny, post: 168644, member: 18882"] Continuing my updates here for anyone who's following along. Last injection of nandrolone was December [LIST] [*]On day 4 of hydrochlorothiazide. I'm not noticing much of a difference in abdominal bloating but my face does look slightly less bloated. [*]I'm also taking anastrozole at 0.1mg EOD for now to see how I feel with lower E2. [*]Dropped my T dose slightly yesterday to 36mg EOD from 40mg EOD, still subq shots. [*]For the first few days on the anastrozole my libido was lower, morning wood was gone, and ejaculate volume was radically lowered. [*]That seems to be changing this morning, which is about 12 hours after my 2nd dose of anastrozole. [*]I feel like I have more energy this morning, despite another night of very poor sleep. [*]My sleep data indicates my body is still under a lot of stress. [LIST] [*]HRV and RHR are (respectively) lower and higher than they should be according to my baseline data. [*]Deep sleep time is still extremely low, ranging between 0 and 13 minutes the last few nights. [*]Sleep is still quite fragmented. This may also be due to the anastrozole and hydrochlorothiazide, which can both impact sleep. [*]The episodes of high heart rate at night appear to be dissipating, I haven't had a nighttime spike in heart rate for a few nights. [*]I have still been having episodes at night where my heart feels like it's working harder, but those are coming later in the morning and I've been able to calm myself with some breathing exercises and get back to sleep. [*]Those episodes are distinct from the nighttime spikes/"waking up with my heart racing" I was having and are more that I am aware that my heart is beating harder. [/LIST] [*]Constipation/lazy gut is still pretty bad. Trying to up fiber intake and not rely on laxatives to get a movement. [/LIST] Based on my calculations, I still have another several weeks before the nandrolone is fully out of my body. My current blood levels of nandrolone are still above where they were even after the first shot, when I started noticing symptoms. Day 26 (noted below) is where I am today, so I'm still processing the nandrolone.[ATTACH=full]9019[/ATTACH] My current hypothesis is that nandrolone's agonist activity at the progesterone receptor (20x more than testosterone) threw me off. The symptoms I'm experiencing are still very similar to the ones I experienced when I overused progesterone cream last fall. Those symptoms went away within 24 hours after stopping the cream, but they have lasted weeks this time.
