On 200mg Test Cyp. 3 months, having issues

[punkboi26]

Hello, Im new so...I am 33 years old and was in perfect health until I started MMT which caused my testosterone to drop like a hammer. After 5 years of low T I finally got some help. I started my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) about 3 months ago. My levels were all very very low. I know my total T was 103 and the low end of normal was supposed to be like 350. My free was 32 and the norm for it was supposed to be over 100 I think. Anyway, I am on 200mg of Testosterone Cypionate every 2 weeks. After about my second or third injection I started noticing a great change. My depression went away and my sex drive cranked up....everything got better just right away it seemed. Well, its now the third month and my 6th injection is coming up on Friday. My problem is after my fourth injection I started to notice my nipples getting very tender to the point of aching. The weight loss suddenly went in reverse and I started feeling puffy like I was retaining water. Is this the begining of me suffering from aromatase changing my T into estrogen? I have also noticed a marked increase in oily skin with breakouts and abnormally fast body hair growth, which is in places I never had body hair now. Can anyone help me out with some info please? Do I need to mention to my doctor that I know about aromatase and the drugs that can help stop it? I ask because I mentioned my symptoms to the nurse that gives me the injections and he offered the most absurd response to my concerns about gynocomastia and an increase in estrogen. It was clear he had no clue what he was talking about. He said, and I quote, "When your testosterone goes up it increases your sensitivity in your genitals and nipples. They are all connected you know". How is it this guy is a nurse? I'd like to add that my dong sensitivity has actually decreased, not increased though that isnt even the point. It worries me how little some people know about the things they should know something about, especially when it is something as sensitive as healthcare. Advice like that could leave a guy with a big rack of hooters. One may not mention it to their doctor after being told not to worry about it by an RN. Are my concerns justified?

p.s. On the subject of dongs...mine pointed almost straight up when it was hard before my testosterone went bye bye on me...now after the treatments it usually looks like gonzos nose. It might point a little downward from parallel to the ground. Anyone else have that happen to them? I kinda always thought that was a genetics thing? How it curves or where it points. Thanks!!

Don't ask him, just get bloodwork done showing your Estrogen levels. That way neither of you are playing the guessing game. You never know, a couple more shots, and it might go away / balance out.

I would however, go to 100mg Cyp a week, to help keep your blood levels even. That could also play a factor in your symptoms.

I think you should also get your estrogen levels checked. I think you need to have your prolactin levels checked too. I reccomend injecting once per week also. You avoid the "hormonal roller coaster ride"... its up for the first week then drops to almost nothing by the end of the second week.

The symptoms you are describing sound like they are coming from increased prolactin and/or estrogen.

When my estrogen is high my nipples itch and are tender when my prolactin is high it takes me forever to bust a nut.

When prolactin is high penis sensitivity can drop and some people may notice that it is not as "hard" when fully erect or may find they can not get an erection at all. Also your nipples maye itch and be tender if prolactin is high also. They may leak a fluid too...Try squeezing the tip hard to see if anything comes out.

The majority of people only experience increased prolactin when using a substance like DECA. Although high estrogen levels can also sometimes raise prolactin...

So get those two things checked. If what I described is the case I would use both an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and a Dopamine agonist like Caber or prami. The Aromatase inhibitor (AI) would lower estrogen and the Dopamine agonist would lower the prolactin faster then using a Aromatase inhibitor (AI) alone. Using just the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) would work but would take longer for the prolactin to drop not using the Dopamine agonist.

OMG yes!! There is a clear fluid that comes out of my left nipple if I squeeze it. What is Caber or Prami? Also, I go and a nurse gives my injections. They will only do it once every two weeks. Im not sure why but I dont have to pay anything for it. It's a special clinic that is part of the same outfit as the MMT clinic and is all included in the $252 a month I pay for the MMT. Anyway, you also think my inability to cum comes from this also?? I hope this guy doesnt give me some load of shit about how hes going to halt my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) rather than treating the symptoms with the proper drugs so I can stay on. I have 0 faith and 0 trust in doctors. I would like to add that I would do all this more like the way you guys do it but I am not a wealthy person, I'm a broke ass. I lost my shop 2 years ago and have been REALLY struggling so I can't afford to buy things outside normal channels....hell, I cant afford anything through the proper channels. So, I guess I have to take what I can get. Though if my option is getting the shots and having tits or not getting the shots and being fat, I'll be fat and have low testosterone. I will not have tits damn it. Though I did see oh here that medicine "for research only" stuff. Is that a rip or is it real because that is cheap enough that I can afford that. If someone could just tell me exactly which ones I should use I will try and come up with the cash to get it. This nipple thing and the inability to have an orgasm are freaking me out and driving me insane.

I thought so... Caber(dostinex), prami and bromo are dopamine agonists. They all lower prolactin levels. Prolactin is what would be causing you to lactate now.

Prolactin is what would also be causing the decrease in penis sensitivity and not being able to cum.

I'm 90% sure this is the case. To be 100% sure we would have to get some blood work done.


It does not sound like this doctor/clinic knows what they are doing.
At this point it would be catastrophic to your health and well being if they just halted your therapy.

Call, txt or email me if you would like me and our doctor to help with this issue.

200mg every 2 weeks is insane...try 50 mg every 5 days
