TRT and gyno?

[HRTstudent]

I've been on TRT for just over 8 weeks now. 200mg test cyp/week, pinning 100mg every 3.5 days. 300iu HCG 3x weekly (Mon/Wed/Fri). Arimidex on hand but haven't used it yet as my last labs (3 weeks ago) had my E2 at 23.8 pg/mL (7.6-42.6), so I didn't see the need for it.

Just yesterday I noticed a bit of 'soreness' around my left nipple. I don't feel any lumps or anything (I don't think), just a sense of soreness. However, wouldn't it stand to reason that if one were experiencing gyno symptoms as a result of TRT, E2 levels should be high? Is it possible that my E2 levels could have shot up that much in 3 weeks since my last labs?

I haven't seen many threads about gyno ane TRT. Is it unheard of?

My E2 takes about 3 weeks to go from almost nothing to above range (sensitive test).

Having said that, a lot of people misdiagnose gyno because they become hyper-aware of all things nipple related once they start on androgens.

Keep an eye on it, and get bloodwork if you can.

^^Yep. I jumped 13 pts in a month then leveled out based on 3 monthly tests in a row. I'm nip sensitive so I always keep Nolva on hand. My doc says some people are just that way even though they run low as I do. Hell, I've been sensitive toward nips all my life up until TRT. Just never mine!

Amen!! I'm already a paranoid head case, GD knows!
