first cycle, gyno related question

[NotConvincedYet]

Hello all,

I have been literally planning my first cycle for almost 20 years and finally going to take the plunge!

To do my due diligence I want to ask about a pea sized hard lump I have had under 1 nipple since I was about 15 years old. I haven't done a cycle before, so its not steroids related, I am assuming its a result of puberty.

I am now 34 and about to start first cycle of test e. My question is, what may happen with this lump I have? Does it mean I will be prone to gyno? Has anyone been in similar situation?

On another note, I am not 100% sure what the lump is, I have seen docs and researched the issue and I am just assuming its a result of hormonal changes when growing during teens. It gets itchy and secretes a very small amount of clear fluid! Annoying yes, so I need to make some educated decisions here as I am not sure how it will react with a cycle...

Cheers

That is puberty induced gyno... No biggie, I had it, gone now...

As for the lactating i dont get that and cant advise there...

One thing I will say is be safe and run an AI like Arimidex (0.5mg EOD) or Aromasin (10mg EOD) while on cycle to be safe

^Agree.

IMO its better to take precautions (especially if you have a form of puberty induced gyno) than risk it. If your diet and training are in check, you'll still make plenty of gains with an added AI. In fact, I always run an AI during cycle cause my body aromatizes a lot of T, and I still experience an increase in size and strength. Excess estrogen is not needed in a cycle.

i have the same thing and its horrid, im always worried about it! i end up thinking its getting worst when its not. just like you i got the lumps when i was a teen then as a adult had full bloods done before my 1st cycle these where fine! im now on my 2nd cycle and all is fine!!

ADVICE post your cycle before you do it sum ass are more pron to gyno and get the best pct. the guys on here are great they will help with this!

Anyone seriously worried about gyno should do as baseline suggests or run nolva throughout their cycle...

Thanks guys.

So take AI without question or have it on hand just in case? Do AI's reverse or prevent side effects like gyno? I read that people have this stuff on hand so if they start getting side effects they will start taking the drug at that point.

Does an AI limit your gains? Dante, by the way you post it sounds like AI's inhibit your strength and size gains.

Munsun, i'll Defo post my cycle diet and training here, still doing my research at the mo ;0)

I would personally take it from the beginning, seeing that you already have a form of gyno. However, some people do keep it around and take it at the sign of itchy nipples. My opinion is to combat it before it even remotely starts.

In my experience, an AI does not limit my strength or size gains. Some people think you need an excess of estrogen to grow and some also believe that the increased estrogen (water) makes them stronger. IMO, this is all mental.
