First time cycle on the lookout for gyno

[panzers]

I'm on my first cycle, test e only. Weeks 1 and 2 i took 250 mg to test the gear and its effect on my body. No probs so far. Now I am going to do 500 mg a week. I've read that some people think users get the placebo effect and expect or convince themselves that their nipples are sore.

I don't want to do that. So far, I've touched them a couple times over the course of a week, no soreness, no visual change either. I haven't started aromasin because I wanted to see how test e affects my body. Any advice on correctly recognizing gyno and not just being paranoid? thanks.

@ 500mg a week you should notice gyno at weeks 4 to 6 if you are susceptible to it.
@ 1000mg per week I notice it at weeks 3 to 4.

If youe nips hurt, or are itchy and there is a lump under one or both of your nips you probably are starting to get gyno.

Run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) at a low dose from the start or atleast week 2 to prevent this from occuring.
If you want you can run the aromasin @ 12.5mg eod to start with.

thanks, will do.

aromasin is very good to run on cycle, definitely my favorite Aromatase inhibitor (AI) to use.

run aromasin every day if at all, just lower the dose accordingly,keeps blood levels stable

The absolute best thing you could do is; go to privatemdlabs dot com, order the hormone panel for women, then go to a labcorp office to get your blood drawn. It's only 60 bucks. This will tell you exactly where your estro and testosterone levels are. If it's high add an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), no need to wait for sore nips. If you need more info all this is in the sticky thread "Get your blood work done cheap".

Not sure it's worth spending $60 to check for high estro during a cycle. Just start Aromasin a few weeks in at 12.5mg every day.

If you did your homework, you would know that test e won't kick in for around 2-4 weeks.

$60.00 should be the least of your concerns. Getting surgery with gyno is a few thousand depending where you live.

What about Proviron straight from the start all the way through the cycle? Would that decrease the possibility of gyno?

Sure. But if he really think he's having gyno sides, by the time he sets an appointment for the blood work, takes cares of it, and gets the results back, he could have popped some Aromasin or took some Letro and monitored his sides to see if they disappear. If they don't, then clearly something is fucked up.
