Sensitive nipples question

[allnatural]

In reading up on all the things to watch for before starting my first cycle sensitive nipples is one of those high estrogen sides to watch out for. Well, a couple days ago my nips started feeling irritated and I thought nothing of it because I’ve been doing cardio everyday and in years past before any steroid use this would happen occasionally due to my shirt rubbing the nipple. But today I realized this might be what sensitive nipples feels like. So, does sensitive nipples feel like your nipples are irritated from your shirt rubbing against them? Not sure what I thought sensitive nips would feel like but this wasn’t it.

More info? How long into cycle? Compounds being used? Ultimately bloods will tell you but since it is 1st cycle, a little more information might tell the board if it is more or less likely a side or just in your head

@EpicFlash 1st cycle, only test E, 450mg/wk, mid way through my 3rd week. I wouldn’t personally label it as sensitivity but they kind of hurt. Like I mentioned it feels like a rug burn on my nips. Bloodwork is about 45 minutes away and I was going to get them done closer week 8 but I might find time to get out there because I’m curious now if this is what people describe as “sensitive nips”. I popped an aromasin so I guess I’ll find out if the feeling goes away or I’ll crash my e2 and feel like shit for a few days.

I would not expect to run 450mg without needing consistent AI use.

@allnatural Highly doubt you will crash your E2 with one dose of 12.5 mg Aromasin. Don’t worry about that, see how you feel and if it gets better maybe you want to try 12.5 2x a week and get bloods after a bit to confirm.

Honestly this blast I was feeling amazing with no AI, and then 4 weeks in I felt a bit of sensitivity in my nips, I felt them and felt a pebble so I freaked out. Hopped on Nolva and some Asin and it hasn’t gotten any worse, gotten slightly better, but just make sure that doesn’t happen to you. Can be tricky.

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. I’m going to add the AI every 3 days and go from there.

@allnatural what are you running for your first cycle? By the sounds of your aromasin dosing looks like E3D pinning? There’s a big difference between nipple chafing and nipple sensitivity from estrogen binding to your breast tissue. While chafing will be more pronunced right on the nipple itself, sensitive nipples from steroid use will be felt underneath and around the nipple.

@tonyperkis I’m just running test right now. I’m pinning every other day, are AI’s typically taken same day as pinning? I just don’t want to drop my estrogen too much, I want the benefits of it but until I get bloods done I’d rather not have gyno start forming. My sensitivity is right on the tip of the nipple which is why I’m thinking it’s more chaffing than the estrogen. My nipples are always hard too, not like gyno hard but like turned on hard. Even if I’m not turned on. Throughout the day I push them back in lol.
