Hey guys,
Just wanted to post a mini log for others to read if they want.
I've been experiencing gyno lumps under both nipples for the last few months. With some pain and sensitvity.
I had the gyno lumps on a previous cycle but nolvadex was able to reduce it enough that I did not notice it as much.
The gyno lumps flared up and got worse a few months back.
I was running Test E approximately 300mg-350mg per week. Tren E approximately 140mg-150mg per week. I had the gyno lumps from a previous cycle before I had started the Tren E. But I was on Deca on a previous cycle so my prolactin levels may have still been elevated from that. I have since cut the Tren E out to help lower my prolactin levels, although I know this could take a few weeks to clear my system and for the levels to start decreasing.
Over the last several weeks I slowly moved my arimidex dosage up from about 0.5mg 3x per week to 3mg per week. I also used nolvadex at 40mg per day, and a few days at 60mg per day. Started taking raloxifene at the advice of the members on this forum. Originally my first pack I took 50mg per day for the first 12/13 days, then 25mg per day. A few days I did take 75mg - 100mg per day, with a few days at 125mg per day. I only had at the time 60 tablets of raloxifene so I just used it until I ran out.
None of this helped reduce my gyno noticeably, it only made a minor improvement.
I was on finasteride 1.25mg per day prescribed by my doctor. I have since stopped taking it as my prescription has ended a little while back, because since there is less testosterone being converted to DHT because it is being blocked by the finasteride, more could be converting to estrogen. Causing higher estrogen levels in my body.
I then started taking Vitamin b6 at approximately 400mg per day, divided into 2 seperate doses. Less then a week ago I added vitamin e at 400iu per day. First day I did 800iu.
I completed my bloodwork recently with my doctor. My estradiol levels did come back in range. My prolactin was elevated above range on the high side slightly, but he said he is not concerned.
My doctor wanted me to do an ultrasound first for the gyno lumps, then follow up bloodwork to check my prolactin levels.
Since they are above the highest range slightly, I am going to continue to run the vitamin b6 (possibly at a higher dosage), as well as the vitamin e (possibly at a higher dosage)....I'm just going to continue to wait for the Tren E to clear my system. I'm hoping if I can get my prolactin levels down a bit, the SERMS etc will be more effective for reducing my gyno lump. I saw from researching online some people say until they take Cabergoline etc to reduce prolactin levels, nothing they try reduces their gyno lumps. I am going to order some for any future cycles of Tren/Deca.
I had ordered more raloxifene and nolvadex recently. So I am going to continue running 1mg 3x per week of arimidex as my estradiol levels came back in range. Since my new packs of raloxifene and nolvadex came in the other day, I have been running 20mg per day of nolvadex, with a few days at 40mg per day. And 100mg per day of raloxifene. I am going to continue on with that and as my prolactin levels hopefully lower, I am going to decrease the dosage of raloxifene, and probably continue at 20mg per day of nolvadex until the lumps are reduced enough.
Just wanted to post some of my experiences over the last few months, can be helpful for others to maybe read to learn from mistakes, or trial and error of other members so they can be better prepared to deal with any issues that come up on cycle.
I'll try and post an update once I'm able to hopefully reduce my prolactin levels and then see if raloxifene/nolvadex will be effective for reducing my lumps.
Thanks guys!
