I took 300 mg Testosterone Cypionate, and no arimidex. I regret doing this and want to stop now. Is it possible to develop gyno from this single dosage? Should I take arimidex, and how much? Do I need to do anything to come off, or just stop injecting. Will I have any problems getting my natural production up afterwards. Thanks.

A single injection? How long ago?Originally Posted by SalmonKing

yes a single injection about 4 days ago. From what I have heard, that is enough to shut my own production down. I just really don't want to get gyno, i have also heard, gyno can occur when coming off if you don't take an anti-aromotase, but I wouldnt know how to time such a thing. My friend is telling me I am being a wussie cause I took nothing.

It's very unlikely but the answer is yes. Unfortunately,I know from first hand experience.
Like I said though, its very unlikely. I aromatize a ton despite not being obese. Genetics... go figure.
Anyways, a 300 mg shot is too much in the first place for TRT.
Natural production will come back quickly from a single shot. I would not worry about this.

What is TRT? So should I be taking arimidex and how much?

Relax. You'll be fine.
Dont inject anymore until you have read the stickies here and educated yourself properly. If you're unclear about something, please ask. Someone will be more than happy to assist you.
This is the TRT Forum. Are you self administering TRT? Or were you attempting to begin a cycle? Just trying to be clear on what you are doing.
TRT = Testosterone Replacement Therapy.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
Are you running a cycle or did a Doctor prescribe you the test for TRT?

I'm really trying to understand what prompted you to take a shot of testosterone to begin with?

My friend takes it for bodybuilding, and pressured me to try it just once, a 4 week cycle while I was at his house, and I regretfully caved in, and thought, fine whats the harm. I have no idea what my T levels are, but I am 29, and have no problems with low energy,libido,appetite etc. He just said I should try it once time to experience it. Then I went home and researched it, and to my horrer discovered males only make about 5-7 mg of T per day, and that a single injection stays in your system for a really long time. My largest fears are gettign gyno when I come off, and possibly becoming dependant on testosterone because my body doens'nt bounce back all the way.
i have arimidex, should I be taking it, or should i not bother? Should i take clomid, or will my body bounce back on its own? And when? Thanks for any help, I do agree that i am over reacting here, but i still would like to know if there is something I should be doing moving forward, or just forget it ever happened because there shouldnt be any consequences.

If your breasts aren't aching, swollen or itchy you should be fine...if you do take any arimedex, don't take much because you can crash your E2 level down and feel bad.
Without bloodwork none us know if your E2 is high...
Your "friend" is an ass for putting the ol peer pressure on you and helping you into this predicament.

i agree, he is an asshole, he is very persuasive. Once I said I was not interested he should have just dropped it right there, but he wouldn't leave it alone. I blame myself and am upset that I did not stand up for myself, and let it happen, cause its still my fault. I had to pull my pants down and let him do it.

Did he touch you inappropriately?
Seriously, you'll be fine. You body will shake that off like a bad flea. At the very most, you may be suppressed, but i even doubt that. Tell your friend to stop manipulating you.

It'll be okay. A single injection of testosterone will not likely cause any side effects (emphasis on the word *likely*). I would venture to say that most side effects of steroids, in general, are prevalent with extended use. As Trific mentioned above, if your nipples "aren't aching, swollen or itchy you should be fine."
I would say the larger concern is your manipulative friend - though we all make mistakes and learn from them... I certainty have my fair share. In my opinion, your "friend" isn't a "friend" worth having.

Well, thanks for all of your replies, you have put me at ease with this situation.

BTW, it has been 4 days, is it possible I could have received any positive effects in this time or is that also my imagination. I ask because I havent touched the gym since, and havent been eating because of the stress, but I look full and muscular, but I should be scrawney right now. My weight is sensitive and if I dont train consitently and eat a lot, I lose weight rapidly.

Friends fault?
Think not. You'll be just fine & like mentioned, if your nips are doing fine then a single injection isn't much.
Ask your friend what his plan was for your PCT (sounds like you had an AI ready) if he lays it out & also says he has Letro or something incase you get Gyno then I'd say he had you covered.
You weren't forced. @ 29 I'd hope you'd be strong enough to pass.
Recommendation: Read up on this site, learn, learn, & learn- if going with AAS is your thing then it can be safe with great results. If you have doubts then you're already gtg, you've stopped.
Good luck

man I was bored today and thought to check in and see how're my friends doing, this thread made my day, I needed a good laugh!
New Member
I also agree with aromatization occurrences happening so quickly in individuals but there are inhibitors that may counteract this side- effect for continued usage. Only because I know how expensive it can be to start up a cycle and then not using. Good luck to you.

Your friend is an idiot for several reasons.
#1 for trying to talk you into running a cycle when you were not really interested and obviously not ready mentally or physically.
#2 your friend has no clue what he is doing. 4 week cycle? hahahaha Tell your friend to join this site because he needs some serious education. It takes typically 4 weeks before you will even start to feel or have any effect from a cycle so to also answer your question in regards to having any benefit from 1 shot; NO.
Does your friend know what a PCT is? Make sure you LOL at him when he is done with his cycle and has not gained any size and a few weeks later starts to complain about how he cant seem to get hard anymore and is experiencing ED/erectile dysfunction.
Yeah typically you have to go to the Q&A section to get a good chuckle but ever once in a while....

He does PCT, but was insistent that I did not need it. He gave me 1.5 mg arimidex, to use sparingly and said that I actually didn't need it, and I could actually do more harm taking too much. He wanted me to do 4 weeks because that is how long it should take for you to feel it, he just wanted me to feel it for a little bit. He was insistent I would not need PCT for 4 weeks, adn that I would just feel bad for a couple of days and would bounce back.
New Member
So another question, If i took a single 300 mg shot of testosterone cypionate, how long will my natural production be shut down for? I think the half life is about 8 days, so, there would be 150mg left, which is still a lot, then 75, etc, is this goign to be like a month?

Awesome! Sounds like you have come full circle and are ready to try a cycle now!This thread is a good read. Subscribed.

Is this thread for real or did I just step into the "Twilight Zone " ???????!!!!

*face palm*
Natural production only stops on the even number of shots you take. So since this is your second one, maybe you should hurry up and take a third injection. Hurry!

OP, lesson learned! Don't let anyone ever talk you into taking something like that again. Unless it's your doc, never take your pants off for any dude under any circumstance.
Do yourself (and us) a favor, and go run some labs in approx. 8 weeks: Total test serum, E2 sensitive, LH/FSH. Please use this thread to post your results.
