First Cycle... start of week 3... possible gyno? :(

[Sumit99]

hey guys...

im back. you guys helped critique my cycle plans and I finally started. I pinned this morning for the start of week 3... cycle is:

Test E wks 1-12 @500mg a week (pin mon & thurs)
HCG @500mg a week (pin w/test e)
Arimidex .25mg EOD starting day 2 of my cycle)

then PCT. Im using RUI Adex for what its worth.

anyway. post gym shower today I noticed pretty tender nips. no visible lumps or swelling yet but the outside of each nipple is relatively painful to the touch. My biggest fears in life are clowns & gyno.

Otherwise, results are great. Up a modest 4lbs but my lifts are insane. Up across the board, including a squat PR this afternoon.

Im trying to be rational and not freak out but its pretty painful.

Should I up the Adex at this point? sorry to sound like a noob but im typing a mile a minute out of paranoia.

thanks so much again.

Tender nipples is not gyno.

Get blood work and see what your E2 is at. Stop guessing.

Adex is an ai not a serm. It doesn't belong in pct. Nolvadex and clomid are good to have for pct.

I got pre-cycle bloodwork. Planned to get mid-cycle bloodwork too. Should I go ahead and get blood work now instead?

Sorry. I should have been more clear. I'm doing .25mg Adex EOD during my cycle. Novla/clomid 2 weeks after my last pin.

Not instead. In addition to. Anytime you have a complication getting blood work is a good idea.

Sounds like you are pretty nervous. Why not just run Raloxifene during your cycle as an insurance policy against gyno?

Paranoid is my middle name.

From researching a little around the forum here, sounds like I should up my Adex dosage to .5mg EOD

Sounds like a mistake to me, but time will tell. Let us know how it goes. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way rather than vicariously.

So your advice is To run Raloxifene or just be patient ? (On top of the obvious recommendation of blood work)

Your probably so damn worried about getting Gyno that you are constantly playing with and checking your nips.. And now they are tender.. Highly possible

I doubt much is going on right now, even your strength gains is a placebo effect.. Your only two weeks in !! (You just pinned today going into week 3).. It takes 4 or more weeks for effects to kick in with a long ester

I think I gave you some advice already. Just go back and read it again. Slow down and pay attention to what I have said.

Gotta love the newbs around here.. Neg rep cause I tell you something that's true lol


OP - I think your too inmature for a cycle - start pct now is my advice before you grow tits and get attacked by a titty fucking clown

 

[Beck-Miester]

LOL! My first cycle, I was paranoid about gyno too! I was working out and running like a mad-mad....and I noticed my nipples were a little tender....I was all freaked out until I got in the shower and found my nipples STINGING from the soap & water....they were rubbed raw from the inside of my cotton shirt while running ***55357;***56860;

Needless to say, Adex WAS working, and I only run in dry-fit shirts now! LOL!

OP: remember that you can NOT/MUST BE CAREFUL to NOT completely crash your E2. Adex is a suicidal inhibitor, and it CAN crash it if you take too high a dose. You NEED a normal E2 level in your blood..

 

[Megatron28]

Adex isn't suicidal. Aromasin is. Regardless though, Adex is very strong and will easily crash your estrogen.

 

[Beck-Miester]

I coulda sworn it was the other way around...

Yeah....just checked: my bad Adex is a type II inhibitor...

 

[Megatron28]

Here is what Wikipedia says on the matter.

There are 2 types of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) approved to treat breast cancer:[1]

Irreversible steroidal inhibitors, such as exemestane (Aromasin), forms a permanent and deactivating bond with the aromatase enzyme.

Non-steroidal inhibitors, such as anastrozole (Arimidex) and letrozole (Femara), inhibit the synthesis of estrogen via reversible competition for the aromatase enzyme.

No worries man---- it made me think of your whole statement of "my biggest fear is Gyno and clowns" .... Made me think of the tittle fucking clown,, and I got a chuckle outta that one,, so it's all good

As much as I don't wanna laugh right now I got a kick out of that mental picture

 

[Roush]

Just keep doing what your doing,, don't miss an AI dose, get bloods soon,, and you'll be fine.
And like mega said you can get some raloxifene to use as a Gyno insurance policy..

Do that and stay away from carnivals and you'll be good
