mixing testosterones for first cycle+gynecomastia question

[cjw]

I'm already medically prescribed testosterone cypionate to give me normal levels of testosterone. For my first cycle, should I just up the amount of testosterone cypionate, or could there be any benefit to mixing with a quicker-acting testosterone with a smaller chain and shorter half-life?

Also, as far as gynecomastia goes, is there a natural checkpoint for how much breast tissue can develop? I mean, bio-women's breasts stop growing after a certain point, even though they still have the same amount of estrogen in their bloodstreams. Just curious. Thanks.

edit: also, for my injections of testosterone cypionate, this wasn't a problem in the beginning but has been the past few months...I now get a bump at the injection site that lasts almost until my next injection two weeks later. It's hard and immobile, no fluid inside or anything. This normal? I inject in my quads. I dropped a lot of bodyfat a couple months ago, if that has anything to do with it.

To answer your question, yes. A lot of folks around these parts are on TRT. A "cycle" for us is considered a "blast". Afterward, we "cruise" on a physiological dose of testosterone. A first cycle for you would depend upon a few factors (current dose, goals etc.), but is generally around 500mg/wk of T.

I am not qualified to respond to the second part of your post. I'm sure someone else will.
