    low testosterone=less chance of gyno?

    Hey guys I was just curious if the lower your test levels are the less chance of testosterone injections being converted to estrogen which can lead to gyno, is this at all true?

    Are you talking about your natural levels before taking injections, or the levels you achieve after taking the injections? Obviously, the more "T" you take means more "T" that gets converted to "E". A lot of it depends on your baseline E2 levels going into a program and how prone you are to possibly getting gyno.

    That's one main reason to run BW on a regular basis when you are on TRT, and to have the correct AI on hand.

    I think more of it will have to do with the amount of medication going in and how much is converting. Just check your E2 levels once every 3 months and take some AI if needed.

    my guess is your chance would be higher since you will have to shoot more test to get where you want to be. the more test you shoot the more chance of sides like gyno
