please don't flame, if there's an issue just tell me. With that said, I'm in a kind of unique situation as I'm a female-to-male transsexual. I've been on hormone therapy with testosterone cypionate since mid-October, started out at 200 mg every other week but my doctor bumped me down to 150 mg every other week because my blood pressure and cholesterol went up a lot (mostly due to a weight gain, which I reversed and have both conditions under control now and am on medication).
I know how to give myself injections, and I've done some research, but it's mostly focused towards the effects on genetic males. I wanted to know if you guys think I should be on estrogen blockers 24/7, and if there were any particular steroids I should avoid since I'm already injecting testosterone?
Also, in terms of gynecomastia, since I haven't had my mastectomy yet, would I actually see any additional gains in that sense? Or have I, for lack of a better word..."peaked"? I've built up pretty well on testosterone cypionate and with weightlifting, but I'm still only about average and ever since my doc cut my dose I've been having a hard time making any gains. Thanks for any help.

I know DocJ said in his thread for newbies that it was better to start with a bulking cycle, but I'd really prefer to start with a cutting cycle since summer is coming up.
other medications: testosterone cypionate, atenolol (blood pressure), simvastatin (cholesterol), adderall XR (homework)
