Hey guys I’m about ten months into this trt and I had to learn a lot just reading on here. I’m doing test cyp 200 every week at 1 half ml. And my chest is getting fatter I have always had some man boobs but their getting worse. Can’t remember my e level but dr. Said it was good. This is getting really depressing.
My t level before shots was 250 now 750. Felt great at first but now kinda crabby.I tried all the gels and they didn’t work.Just want these man boobs gone and to feel good aagain. Any help would be appreciated going to dr. Tommorow. x age 40

hey guys went to the dr today and sure enough he didn’t test my e2 last time so im getting it done this week and will try to post all of my results. he did argue with me and tell me that if their in range their fine he is against giving me any thing for high e at this time.
I have to go to lab corp and I hope he ordered the right test I told him which one you guys recommend and he had problems figuring it out we even went to this website so if any one knows the order number that would be great help. I also read the stickys and im starting to understand this more. im afraid I might have to find another dr tho. I felt fine In the beginning but feel like crap again. thank you for any input or advice.
I know the majority here will say that 32 for E2 is too high, but I have felt much better with a higher E2 than a lower E2. Just as ACES said, tamoxifen will block aromatase in breast tissues, which should alleviate some, if not all, of your gynecomastia (man boobs) you are experiencing. I would suggest to take it for at least a month before stopping.
Perhaps your breast tissues are just hyper sensitive to E2. Everyone is not the same.
just talked an endo and she agrees my e2 is high but she wants me to cut back dosage of test. she also wants me to try more topicals, ive have tried them in the past and they haven’t worked at all. I am taking 20mg of tamoxifen a day to stop gyno, will that work? she said an ai was the last resort. im about ready to give up on this whole thing I feel worse than I did before.
It is a serm selective estrogen receptor modulator… It should stop E2 at the nipples but will not correct high E2 and could possibly raise intertesticular estrogen.
And your not alone… I quit trt cause I felt like shit

really??? you quit? I thought you were all into this the way you offer advice. that explains why my nipples are hard and shrunk up now but that’s it, still a bunch fat.how do you feel now?
I never tell people to start trt … I only feel it is needed when all other options are exhilarated or at least you know why you may need it.
I don’t feel worse let’s put it that way… Pretty much it did nothing and I felt a little unnatural as far as erections.
I am being tested for Lyme disease so I have to many symptoms already to started dig around with other things.
I am not into it at all actually… I think in some cases it is absolutely needed though. I don’t like seeing young guys start trt who have no idea what they are getting themselves into…
For some it is a very hard long road to get dialed in
