Minor gyno

[cr1973]

Hi All, first post:

I began trt a little over 2 weeks ago and am noticing some slight fat around the out edge of my chest, in the nipple area.

I am not taking any arimidex (not yet at least) and am guessing that my e2 is high and I am depositing fat around chest area?

My bloodwork is going to be done in the next week or so and my doc said he'd prescribe arimidex based off the results. In the mean time should I start taking nolvadex?

What's your TRT protocol?

Hey quick response:
I had 6 pellets inserted, should last 3 months they tell me. He wanted to raise my T from ~350 to about 800 or so.

It's not gynecomastia. That doesn't happen in 2 weeks time. Have your doc check your E2 levels in 2 to 4 more weeks to see if an AI is needed.

Thanks for the info Austinite, great abs btw. Anyway I did notice I gained a good 5-6 lbs, could that be water weight which in turn is making my chest a bit puffy?

That's my mom in the pic.

Yes, gaining that much in a short span is generally water, which you may have retained some around your pecs, giving you the impression that you have gynecomastia.

Until you get blood work (or preferably forever) avoid processed foods, bring your sodium intake to a minimum and drink a lot of water.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I am paranoid about getting moobs... so it'd be a bad idea to go on 20mg nolva/day until the blood work comes in?

^ no. Consult your doctor. He works for you, remember that.
