I’m on 160mg of test cyp a week - divided into two doses and am on week 5 of this regimen. I’m fat (35 years old, 6’5 and 275 lbs, linebacker build but not cut up - got a 41 inch waist) and have been religiously checking myself for gyno. I haven’t had sore/spicey nipples at all but I still check to be sure. Tonight I felt a small lump when I push directly down on my left nipple (and slightly to the right of it, not underneath it) about the size of a pea - but I can’t feel it when I “cup and feel” like the Youtube videos are saying to test for. I can sort of feel it when I flex my pec, it maybe brings it up from the surface so to speak.
So, I have two questions:
- I have 30 ct 1mg Arimidex that the TRT clinic prescribed me, but I’ve heard a lot of horror stories of guys getting shut down and I don’t want to run the risk of taking it if I don’t need it and I’m just feeling something else. Would taking half a pill a week kill my E2?
- I have my first blood test about 4 days from now since starting TRT, should I be able to wait until then to see what my E2 levels are? Or is this an “act immediately” situation? Haven’t run into this before.
I know I'm going to catch shit for getting on any kind of test when I'm a fatty but IDGAF. In the past 18 month depression I've had my sister die to a drunk driver, lost my job, had oneitis marry my high school bully and rear his kid, etc. boo hoo blah blah tl;dr I've had a shitty time since 2021 and gained 60 lbs of fat. I was cut up before 2021 @ 220. I've been so miserably depressed and lacking in energy, confidence, drive, etc. that being on TRT I've felt the veil lift for the first time in literal fucking years and I've actually gone back to the gym & lost 10 lbs since starting this in March.
My last test results (before I hopped on) are:
Total T = 359
Test Free = 67.3 (ref 47-244)
SHBG = 23
Prolactin = 9.1
FSH = 2.8
PSA total= 1.11
Estradiol = 17.3
DHEA = 5.5
Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.
