Side effects from 100mg Test Cyp?

100mg per week.

Hair loss, acne, loss of libido, sensitive nipples, etc.

Been on for 3 weeks.

Am I getting all of these due to my hormones just changing (started with very low test) and things just need to balance out, or will this continue throughout?

Not even enjoying the weekly shots anymore due to the side effects.
 
Yeah that's what I was thinking, as it has only been 3 weeks, and muscles are more hard and body is more dry overall. What do you think he'll say though? I'm not going on Propecia (messing with hormones even more).. so just lower the test?
 
You are only on 100mg of Test as it is bro. What is your Test level now? You lower it anymore you'll be feeling like dirt.

Talk to your doctor. You just may have to lower estrogen and the DHT wont bother you as much. The higher your estrogen the more DHT can aggravate your scalp and prostate. Sensitive nipples are a indicator your estrogen is high.

Dont lower your Testosterone! I think that would be a mistake. Get some feedback from your doctor or call me and we can get you talking to our doctor.
 
So lowering estrogen affects DHT? I thought hair loss was just testesterone converting to DHT. Will it not convert if estrogen is lowered? And I thought the higher the DHT, the less estrogen.

As for libido, I thought that was a sign of low estrogen.

This stuff is confusing (I know the best answer is everything has to balanced, but hard as hell to get it when playing around with different hormones), and unfortunately my doctor isn't that up to speed either. Didn't think I'd be getting all this confusion on only 100mg of test. It's the whole reason I've stayed away from cycles my whole life and delayed testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for as long as possible..

More DHT in your system helps reduce the chance of developing estrogen induced gyno. It competes with the estogen at the estrogen receptors in breast tissue.

The theory with scalp and prostate is that the estrogen actually makes the cells more sensitive to the affects of DHT.

You need blood work to see what exactly is going on but I bet estrogen is the main cause of all your issues.
 
Appreciate your quick responses.

Do you think if I continue on with the 100mg of cyp per week, that things will start to balance out (not me personally, as everyone is different, but in theory, is it possible / proven), and what I'm experiencing now is just due to hormones changing, from being so low over the years?

Just wondering why I would be converting to DHT, or increasing estrogen on only 100mg.

And yes I agree with you that if I took less than 100, I'd feel like crap and definitely feel the effects of suppressed endo test.
 
My balls also feel like sponges, and feel like they're being vacuumed up by my abdomen. This happened on the 2nd week.

Hairloss on the 3rd week.
 
There could be many factors that could be causing the massive estrogen conversion. What's your Body fat percentage? If your estrogen is high its actually more suppressive to your HPTA then Testosterone. You need an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) ASAP maybe even some HCG...

Talk to your doctor...or give me a call and we can get our doctor helping you bro.

Our Doctor has two fully staffed clinics in Boca and WPB and is A4M certified and has been providing HRT/TRT to hundreds of clients for many years.
 
I do have Aromasin and Nolva on hand.

Body fat is around 6%. I'm a fitness model and keep it moderately low year round for shoots. Diet is strict. Throw in more test based foods due to being on a calorie maintenance 365 (saturated fats, steak, eggs, peanut butter, broccoli, garlic, vitamin d3, etc), as well as following a strict routine based on optimal HGH (no carbs after 9pm to allow release at night, no carbs during workout, etc) and test (compound lifts, heavy) levels ..

Yeah no doubt, but I just don't want to continue with the test waiting until the blood work comes back, if it's making me be a sensitive bitch to the side effects. Would rather get off it now.

It's weird. Its taking me a week to grow a 5 o'clock shadow lol. Minimum facial hair and body hair isn't growing either. If DHT is causing head loss, I thought body and facial hair would grow more.

Thinking about dropping the test altogether (my 4th shot is at 3pm today), and just starting on a post cycle therapy (pct) (7.5mg ed Aromasin for 2 weeks, Nolvadex for 3 weeks 20/10/10).

I may have not been living optimal, but I do realize now I was better off before, than I am now with this feeling of being shut down (head feels off, can't accept things and adapt and move on like usual, more sensitive to things, although I do have more clear thinking now and a better memory).

If I do skip the shot today, is that post cycle therapy (pct) protocol fine, with only doing 3 weeks of Test?
