It’s a DHT derivative, but it does have a progestagenic effect.
From Anabolics 11th Edition:
It is important to note that oxymetholone does not
directly convert to estrogen in the body. This steroid is a
derivative of dihydrotestosterone, and as such cannot be
aromatized. Anti-aromatase compounds such as Cytadren
and Arimidex® will, likewise, not effect the relative
estrogenicity of this steroid. Some have suggested that
the high level of estrogenic activity in oxymetholone is
actually due to the drug acting as a progestin, similar to
nandrolone. The side effects of both estrogens and
progestins can be very similar, which might have made
this explanation a plausible one. There was a medical
study examining the progestational activity of
oxymetholone, however, and it determined that there was
no such activity present.3 With such findings, it seems
most plausible that oxymetholone can activate the
estrogen receptor, similar to, but more profoundly than,
the estrogenic androgen methandriol.

I’ve dosed Drol to 100mg ED (didn’t want blood pressure redlining) and got no ‘estrogenic’ sides but had elevated progestin activity. Estrogen levels were in range just not high or low. I was using test prop at the time 100mg EOD. I was about 31yrs old at the time so it was a while ago. Dbol on the other hand blaoted me badly, raised BP and killed my appetite to the point I stopped less than a week in.
Some will gauge effects on what they think or what someone else felt, never what they witnessed first hand. I just believe we all respond to things differently, and that’s the fun in research.

@EpicFlash my next run I plan on using tbol next cycle. So I will see how that goes. I just want to look at all my options or know what I can use and what I should stay away from.
