Sore/tender nipples? What to do with next dose?

Pharma / TRT

I’m not sure if I’m overthinking this, but over the past week I’ve become much more aware of my nipples. I wouldn’t exactly describe them as sore—it’s more of a mix between soreness and tenderness. There aren’t any noticeable physical changes yet, though I’ve always been a smaller guy and recently started developing more of a chest from my workout plan. Being that I’ve never had a chest before, I’m constantly worried it looks more like gyno than muscle, but my wife says it looks normal to her.

I’m getting labs drawn Friday at my trough level. This will be six weeks since I increased my dose from 100mg to 150mg per week, and about 13 weeks total since starting TRT. My last estradiol (E2) level was >25 pg/ml (reference range: 11–44 pg/ml).

Do you have any suggestions on what I should do about my Friday dose after the labs are taken, while I wait for the results to come back?

Get some kind of estrogen blocker. I thought i was hypersensitive to test. When i hit 500mgs or more i know forna fact my nipples will sore and tender so i have to keep an AI on me

Do your normal dose, get labs. Don’t take anything extra or assume anything yet.

A little hypersensitivity isn’t abnormal early on, which you are BTW.

Why did you increase dose originally?

I was still having fatiguing symptoms and low libido. Free T was also still on the lower end of 85 (46-224).

Gotcha. I’d say give it more time plus labs before adding AI, but I’m not the expert here.
