The bottom line is I’m an estrogen converting machine. I posted this back in March after developing my third case of Gyno.
"Hey Guys, I have been on TRT for over a year. I gradually worked up to a max dose of 10 grams/Androgel a day. Somewhere between 7.5 grams and 10 grams I had a very rapidly forming case of gyno. I immediately lowered my dose to 5 grams until I could see my Endo. I previously had pubertal gyno that resolved itself and a surgical case of gyno about 4 years ago which I had removed. No AAS or Prohomones just super sensitive to hormonal changes.
Anyways my doctor prescribed Raloxifene 60mg/ED about a month and a half ago and my nipple puffiness has subsided greatly. The swelling around my nipple has gone down as well but I still have tenderness and a deeper lump below my left nipple. It has subsided to the point where I don’t notice it in the mirror. Not sure if this is a success story just yet but I am quite happy with the results so far. I have now switched to shots but at a really reduced dose of 50mg/week. Considering the low dose I feel pretty good."
Since March I have switched to shots and currently dose at 60mg/week (Test E). I split that dose equally on Monday and Thursday. I have also added .25mg of Arimidex on Monday and Thursday. I have felt great on this protocol thus far.
Earlier this week I noticed a slight lump just above my left nipple. The lump is tender and completely consistent with my previous gyno.
I have no supporting lab work given that this problem has just arisen and being from Canada I am unable to have my E2 levels checked. Other than the nipple I am not experiencing any other E2 sides.
I have developed gyno without any exogenous testosterone in the past so this is not surprising to me.
The Arimidex is the same as when I started the protocol so I am curious if someone can develop a tolerance to it.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
