Baffled as to How I'm Getting Gyno

Pharma / TRT
1

Let me start off by saying I had originally posted this topic in TRT. I thought I’d get some insight from you guys as well.

I was on trt, 100mg a week, biweekly injections of 50mg each. Adex at 0.5 ED and Bromocryptine 2.5mg ED and within the first week I felt the oncoming gyno. Everything from script/pharmacy so legitimacy isn’t a question.

I’ve already had surgery for gyno, and some of the glands have grown back very slightly; which doesn’t bother me. So before anyone starts throwing in their .02 cents on how I’m imagining on getting gyno off of 100mg a week within the first week – I’m not. I even went as far to convince myself I was imagining it.

Fast forward 2 weeks in, the gyno was getting worse, itchy, swelling, and extremely sensitive to touch. I had switched to aromasin 25mg ED, and threw in some nolvadex at 20mg a day with the hopes of coming off it once the aromasin settles in. Nothing, Gyno was still developing.

I did a total of 3 weeks, 6 shots, 50mg each shot, 100mg a week. I took blood tests 2 days after my last injection. This was 2 months ago. Been using clomid 50mg ED sense then.

Results:
Test Total : 28.3 // acceptable ranges on results 8.4 - 29.0 nmol/L
Progesterone: 1.9 // 0.9 - 3.9 nmol/L
Oestradiol: <44 // < 146 pmol/L (I was doing overkill on AI and dropped my e2 levels to low)
Prolactin: 5 // 2-18 ug/L

Bilirubine Total: 14.2 // 3.0 - 20.0 umol/L
ALT (GPT): 16 // 0 - 40 U/L
AST (GOT): 20 // 0 - 40 U/L
Phosphatase Alacaline: 67 // 38 - 126 U/L

TSH: 3.48 // 0.35 - 5.00 mU/L
Free T3: 6.5 // 3.5 - 6.5 pmol/L

Im baffled as to how im getting gyno. Looking into my thyroids, but they never bother doing my t4. I did a more extensive blood test a week or so ago, I don’t have the results yet but i’ve been off trt for 2~ months at that point so I’m not sure if that blood test will help.

Any suggestions as to why gyno is growing, when estrogen and prolactin are under control? I need to get back on TRT, but I’m stressing over gyno.

Thanks!

No idea on the gyno but your thyroid labs seem to say your boarderline hypo, someone please correct me if im wrong

well, the T3 is high.

i can’t remember where/when i read it, but recall that a hyperactive thyroid can lead to estrogen issues… but based off the labs, the estrogen isn’t that high, comparatively.

it might actually have more to do with a genetic predisposition, since you’ve already had gyno.

I should mention that my estrogen levels, naturally, are around 120~ pmol/L – Thats without trt or anti-e. And also the first time I had gyno was from cycling.

I assumed estrogen was the culprit hence why I even over killed it on the AI.

are you currently taking nolva and clomid?

if so, you might want to give raloxifene a shot, as it’s slightly more effective in gyno.

another option is DHT cream (andaractim, i think?) applied to the nipple area…

I’m just using clomid, for HPTA recovery only. Gyno subsided a while ago after stopping.
