THINK IM GETTING GYNO

[onlyontrt]

I know that I aromatise easily so I typically don't go over 250 test on my cycles. Got some bloodwork back that showed my estradiol was at 17 on 200 test (subq) when I took 0.5mg anastrozole twice a week. So I decided to up my test dose to 500mg/week split twice (IM) and 1 mg anastrozole right after my shot.

Now about 3 weeks in one of my nipples hurt to the touch and I think i can feel a small ball below it. Who knows how long it will take to get some Nolva or Raloxifene from India Pharma.

My question is should I just up my AI dosage? Also, how long until gyno becomes permanent? Can I run my whole cycle and worry about it afterwards?

I scheduled a blood test for Tuesday and it usually takes a week to get my results so i'm not sure if I can wait.

Do a gyno surgery, so you're good forever.

You know you can also back off the test dose until you get it down to normal right?

Prevention is better than cure like they say. I still wonder why people keep on pushing even if the symptoms kept getting worse.

Why don't you do a bloodtest to see where's your e2 and prolactin? When they hurt usually it's gyno formation, but sometimes puffy and swolen are just from water retention (or fat gain). Best thing to do is to back off your test, basically as low as you can and pop an extra AI in the meantime. If you plan doing bloodwork though, better draw first and then proceed to protocol changes, otherwise your labs will be false. Don't wait to order and receive SERMs.. (although IMO everyone should have them in hand at all times).

What’s it cost?

I have a blood test on Tuesday and usually don’t get results until a week later. If I change my protocol now the blood test won’t tell me what’s going on. I guess what I’m asking is it ok to not make any changes for a bit over a week? Or do I risk gyno becoming permanent and need to tackle it now?

In my opinion keep the same protocol until Tuesday, it's only 2 days more, do your bloodwork, return home and take a bigger dose of AI, skip couple shots of UNTIL you receive your bloodtest and then you'll know what to do. If e2 and/or prolactin are very high you keep popping AI's and take the minimum test dose like 80-100mg/week.

If you had nolva or even better raloxifene you could start now, but since you don't have..just pray for this not to be gyno and then if it's actually gyno that will stop increasing further.

I paid 70$ for it, it's refunded if you're fairly lean, otherwise it's considered like fat (cosmetic) and you'll have to pay many thousands.

Thanks. This is what I will do

Ok now I am extremely confused. My blood test came back with 7 prolactin and 29 estradiol.
Immediately after the blood test I have been taking 1 mg anastrozole every other day. If I was at a 29 I might be crashed by now.

Doesn’t make since as to why I had sensitive nipples and pain if I was at a 29 estradiol.

Btw one of my nipples still hurts. Not to the touch but if I press down I can feel a lump behind it that hurts pretty bad.

Nips are sensitive regardless high or normal estradiol. If you keep poking them they will continue hurt. With that low numbers i don't see any chance of it being gyno. Drop the anastrozole (or return to your previous dose) and just forget it, don't touch it at all. I think in a 10-15 days you won't feel anything. That lump you feel i believe it's just tissue, every man has it and if you poke it often and with force it's definitely gonna hurt.

Get raloxifene ASAP. The sooner u start, the most will get obliterated.
If you're like me, pubertal gyno from 15 years ago, Ralo helps but only reduces it by about 1/3 the size and I have to be on it forever.
After a while ur only option will be surgery.

I just got some and havent started. The crazy part is my estrogen is in perfect range but my nipple still hurts till this day. Should I start the Ralo? what mg and how long?

Unless you can suck your own tits, it’s not gyno.

Hey man, sounds like you might be dealing with some early signs of gyno. The sensitivity and puffiness are definitely things to keep an eye on. Here’s what I’d suggest:
1. Check your estradiol (E2) levels: High E2 is the most common cause. If you haven’t already, get bloodwork done to see where it’s at.
2. AI (Aromatase Inhibitor): If your E2 is high, you might need a small dose of an AI like Arimidex or Aromasin to bring it down. Just be careful not to crash your estrogen—it’s all about balance.
3. Nolvadex (Tamoxifen): If you feel like it’s already progressing, adding Nolvadex can help block estrogen receptors in breast tissue and stop it from getting worse.
4. Act fast: The sooner you address it, the better the chance you have of reversing the symptoms.

Let us know how it goes or if you need more advice—good luck, bro!
