Clean up your diet and drink plenty of water. 128oz minimum.
Diet is clean all good foods going to lower carbs abit but apart from that its decent. Water consumption is also good too
Iām 7 weeks in and I have the same issues with erections. but up until week 4-5 I was a monster that was getting hard at the slightest female sight it was insane. had to blast a nut 6 times a day just to keep calm and morning woods were dense enough to rip a hole in space and time. but now? I get hard sure but it donāt last long also libido is much lower but itās around the same as it was before the cycle.
Lump left nipple. Just diagonal from left nipple outer areola i have a hard lump around it feels rubbery and fiver like but the lump is quite hard. Its little sensitive but admittedly I been touching it last 2 days. I cant grab hard of lump as it seems to shoot backwards but I can press on it and around it. The nipple sensitive had defo gotten better but still itchy at times. Am I being paranoid or is something starting here. I got the wife to check to and she says she can defo feel lump too
Did you start using the nolvadex yet? Id personally start that on 20mg a day to see if thats enough if it doesnt start going away increase it.
Someone with more experience than me will probably be along soon.
youāre not being paranoid at all my friend that is definitely gyno being formed. start on nolvadex ASAP. one pill a day and increase if it doesnāt get any better after a few days

Hi guys quick updateā¦ in regards to the lump near nipple I had it checked of the record by a doctor. (I work in a hospital and get on with the occasional doctor. I told him everything and he examined me. He doesnt belive it to be gyno and says itās a fatty lump that was probably there before and I hadnāt noticeā¦ im not sure if this is case or not) I have been taking nolva ED at 20mgā¦ the sensitive nipples have definitely calmed down and only bothers me now if i wear certain shirts. They are still constantly erect tho the are so hard you can see them even in a hoodieā¦ anyway I will continue to check the lump regularly to ensure itās not growing. Thinking of stopping nolva now too as sensitivity and irritation has gone downā¦ I only really want to take other things on top of the test if neededā¦
On to more positive note. Finally seeing some strength gains now probably the best I have ever seen. Its a strange feeling, itās not a feeling of the weight feeling lighter as it dosent. I just seem to have another rep in me then another and another.
Looks wise I dont see great improvement as of yet but still only half way through cycleā¦ Iām certainly bigger in person and on scale 17lb so far. I belive alot of this is water weight tho and some fat too as I have been eating like animal all clean food but lots of it.
Only other 2 things to note. Acne as now started I was waiting for this to happen as I had it really bad as teenagers so knew I would be prone. At the moment they are staying on my back but getting more on my face each day. Second thing blood pressure is still out of whack a fair amount. I have both high and low at same time for example average reading 145/45 I think this is due to increase water weight. 17lb in under 6 weeks is definitely strain on body especially considering this Is now heaviest I have ever been. I have blood work to post tomorrow any recommendations on who is good source on this form who wouldnāt mind taking look when I post.
Thanks guys
Sust is best EOD or at least 3x per week, like M/W/F. If youāre switching esters, itās pretty simple to blend them into eachother over a few weeksā¦introduce the single ester while still taking the sust, and then taper it out while you increase the single ester test, maintaining your total dosage while doing so. Or just plow the single ester at your desired dose, and taper the sust out over a couple weeks.

What youāre describing sounds like elevated estrogen. The puffy and itchy nipples, the lump. That sounds like the beginning of gyno. From my understanding nolva doesnāt lower estrogen it just competes for the receptors in especially in Breast tissue so it can help with gyno but will not lower estrogen. Personally I would much rather risk crashing my e2 then developing gyno that nolva may or may not reverse.
Got my bloods today would appreciate some help.
Pre cycle
Test 14.2 nmol
Ostredial 52 pmol
6 weeks on
Test 127
Ostredial 212
So gear is good but e levels are 4x what where sp thinking itās time for adex advice please guys.
Are you having obvious issues that would make you think E2 needs to be reduced?
If not, then leave it alone
I donāt know what that converts to in the units Iām accustomed to but if it is what I think it is (around 60) then that is NOT that high given your T levels.
I think it converts to around 57.
Symptoms wise. Water bloat (17lb gain so far in total), had really sensitive nipples for about a week went away with nolva, other then that just the usual ones. Acne, erect nipples and the boys have shrunken away Haha.
Most of that is just the test. Iād let it rideāI had a lot of water weight at first and dropped most of it. Ankles were swollen like crazy but it went away on itās own. Just use Nolva if needed in my opinion.
My e2 is about at that level and has been over 70 and my T is lower than yours, so I think youāll be fine after everything balances out
Ok nice one, I will admit I kind of panicked when see E2 had gone up ny 4 times amount and I did take 1mg adex. But in that advice i will prob just leave that alone for now then.
So update. Gains are incredible raising few eyebrows in gymā¦ pumps are great too. Weight has slowed now too but also I think Iām leaning out somewhat too.
Now the not so good.Still have this issues of lump on left nipple. I swear I have even more of them all within inch of outter nipple seems to be 4 all around as in 12,3,6 and 9 oāclock postion. I do hold all my fat in chest always have doneā¦ so they are deep. If I squeeze them too hard ETS like the slip out of graps and spring back down.
still not sure if its tissue or not. Nipples are not really that sensitive anymore but are still erect.
Any suggestions please guys. That mixes with my e2 levels thinking need to something but still being told not to yet.
I wonder what that lab? Really.
Shouldnāt have any erection issues on sust or test, in fact it should increase your sex life if anything, It should be the opposite where you wake up with hard wood every day, or even sleep with wood through the night.
Give it a while longer before you judge, could be really kicking in around week 3-4.
Maybe you experience this now because your natural test is shutting down and your gear hasnt fully built up yet, it is also your first time so give it a bit longer.
Careful with this, It is true that you build muscle more easily with estrogen in the body, but for us guys prone to gyno need more attention.
I had like you a small lump and just tenderness, I always ignored it back then and it rapidly grew into a full 1 inch hard disc that canāt be reversed and surgery was the only option.
So careful man
Are the lumps on the surface? Or beneath the tissue?
20mg tamoxifen daily should control any new gyno growth and should calm down current situation. If not then lower test dose and cut out āwetā compounds.

Lumps almost feel on the tissue/muscle if that makes any sense
