Man did I EF up! Any Suggestions?
Hey guys,
First off, wow I wish I found this site earlier and know what I do now. As I have read countless times, anyone that is offended by my somewhat newb post, feel free to save your time if need be. That being said, I feel now that I have done some pretty damn good homework.
Stats:
6'2
202lbs (16lb gain)
14% BF
So here it goes, I started a cycle of Test Cyp. My first cycle going into it with approx. 13-14%bf which I now know is too much. The guy that helped me get started (A trainer with a very competitive body and good friend) set me up with Test and started me off on a program like this. Once a week 500/400/300/200/100. At the end of week 5 my nipples started to itch/feel sore and I started to worry about the infamous GYNO issue. The symptoms would subside until I would workout and then return. I was told not to worry but we decided to discontinue use due to the way my body was reacting. I asked him to get me Nolva which on his behalf he did from a friend which turned out to be these chalky 10mg pills that said nothing like NOLVA down them or anything. Paid out the ass for them but wanted to save my own if you know what I mean. I'm guessing the guy sold my friend some bunk shit due to my own research (Not my friends fault) Had been taking the pills at 10mg a day after about 5 days of 20mg with no results. Continued for several weeks only my problem worsened.
When I became concerned of the issue, I would feel my nipples regularly and felt little seed-like lumps but didn't seem like anything serious. As time went on, I noticed that my right pec was getting larger and so was the lump. The lump has never been sensitive and itchiness halted soon after I discontinued use.
Now, the lump is larger and through my research on this website I have made a personal confirmation that it is GYNO. My right pec still sticks out as far as my left except it seems to have more fat/tissue and when I flex it appears more rounded at the bottom while my other side pulls in. It is also now slightly uneven. Unnoticeable to others but significantly noticeable to me. My buddy could barely see it until I pointed it out to him and made him really look, but it is very evident. (left pec is tighter and more formed, right is bigger and lower chest extends downward more) Also, when chest is at rest it is far less noticeable, when comparing the two.
I ordered Letro and Nolva yesterday and paid extra to have it expressed mailed. I am hoping that almost two months after the itchiness I can still combat it. What are your takes on reversal at this point (know that will open a can of worms) or shrinkage. I can live with a small lump but I think there is some tissue increasing my right pec side that would have to dissolve as well to look normal again.
I know what your thinking, took Test, higher bodyfat, no preventative gear on hand, no PCT... The list goes on and I can only agree and regret not educating myself prior. I have read all the threads regarding this issue, especially Dr. Bino's and War's. I plan on following C-Bino's thread through and true. I really hope surgery does not become my only option as I do not have the money nor the time to factor that in.
I have made some serious gains, but man, if I get stuck with a beautiful bitch tit on one side, this is going to suck! I am also wondering now that I am cutting weight if my current Gyno will look even more prevalent?
Just wanted to get some opinions on the matter and to know if you guys believe there may still be a light at the end of the tunnel. I will post a pic as soon as I can.
Anyone care to shed some light?
Thanks doods
Btw, apologize for the long post but figured it would help alleviate questions...
