Ancillaries I think I'm getting gyno ! Aridemdx dosing ?

[Ex-Cracker]

Hi guys, was running 150mg a week of test ethenate from 12th September onwards and last dose was seven days ago, both breasts have got puffy and getting nipple sensations just popped .5mg of arimedex ( and 's it's not bunk gear) and was going to do .5mg every seven days but if tomorrow sensations and swelling is increased should I up the dosing? And if so what to and frequency ?
My doctor's is open tomorrow not sure wether to bother them by making an appointment, I have blood tests in 10 days for checking if I need to go on testosterone replacement therapy, so as it's linked should I make an appointment,? just I don't like taking their time up when there's people needing appointments for more health related problems than swollen chest tissues ,

Sorry I know this post is a bit old but I'll reply anyway.

It's important to get your blood work done on trough day (which is injection day) BEFORE YOU INJECT, to find out the status of your testosterone and E2.

However, based on the other thread you made, you said you're injecting every 7 days. That means you're injecting an entire 150mg bolus in one shot. That's a lot. That may be what spikes your E2. You should divide your dosing into at least twice per week (75mg 2x per week) so that you aren't spiking your hormone levels so drastically. As soon as your body registers that it is receiving more T than it needs, it will start converting it to estrogen and DHT. It sounds like you have estrogen excess, which means your T dose needs adjusting.

In general, it's not great to take an AI. It's better to adjust your T dose so that you don't need one. If your goal is TRT and not more than that, then you can deal with estrogen by either lowering your total weekly dose, or dosing more frequently.

Sensitive nipples and puffy nipple region are a sign of developing gyno, but it takes months to years to become full blown. Also, your amount of body fat will determine how much estrogen your body creates, because aromatase is located in fatty tissue. So if you lose body fat, you will be less estrogenic.

However... I think you need to adjust your T amount or dosing schedule. If the goal is TRT, you shouldn't need an AI unless you are one of those few men out there who are prone to too much estrogen.
