Hey everyone I'm going into week 4 of a test prop cycle and I had a bunch of questions regarding gyno that I searched endlessly for the answers to, but the answers were always conflicting.
So I'm posting some interesting knowledge I've gathered so far to give back to this community that I've learned so much from. Hopefully some other newbies with the same questions as me finds this helpful.
1: I developed gyno after 4 days! So yes you can get it very very quickly if you're unlucky.
2: nolvadex DOES reverse it! Like fully from a hardening tender knot to pre-cycle condition. When I immediately began a nolva protocol my gyno symptoms dissipated in 3 days. Gotta catch it fast.
3: even if you've had gyno surgery, you can still get symptoms! Happened to me. Only a small section of my right areola was afflicted.
I wanted to share this with everyone cuz when I searched to see if it was possible to develop gyno so quickly, most posters were laughed at or called hypochondriacs. I had a pretty pronounced case of pubertal gyno from age 12 till I had it removed via excision+lipo at 22, so I know very well what gyno is and how to identify it. what little the doctor left behind is still very susceptible to aromatization, as on day 4 I noticed the tell tale tender pain in my right nipple. I had been on AI for those 4 days at 12.5 EOD.
Went home from work, popped 25mg pill of aromasin, and started on nolvadex right away, two 20mg tablets. Switched to 50mg ED Test prop protocolfrom 100 EOD in an effort to stabilize blood levels as much as possible. By the evening the puffy section of my areola had developed a slight knot underneath, it was kinda freaky how fast it was developing. Went to bed kinda freaked out but hoping for the best.
Woke up, pain was almost gone, lump shrunk but still there. Took another 20mg nolva (60 a day 1 pill in morning two in evening), and started splitting my AI 12.5 every 12 hours as per new info I'd read regarding aromasins short active life.Next day no pain, slight knot, and by third day all symptoms dissipated. Cut back on nolva to 40mg per week, AI Still dosed at 12.5 twice a day. Did this for another week and now will cut back again to 20mg nolva. Going into week 4 now.
The AI is dosed properly, I did my bloodwork prior and again on cycle after my bloods stabilized. My advice is...stay away from test prop if you aromatize badly lol. It'll cause problems before the aromasin can start working which takes like a week - 10 days. By then you could already be growing boobs. Try a longer acting ester or taking your aromasin a few days early, tho I suspect it would be really easy to crash your estro like that.
So that's it so far, will update if anything more interesting happens or somebody's got something to add. Hopefully some unlucky gyno prone soul like me reads this and finds this helpful.
