    You're probably right about it not being that bad yet. I'm just thinking long term trt use and continued gyno sides. But with my bf higher than it should be, ts nottjing noticeable. It's not like I have puffy nipples. Lol

    But I'm also thinking of when I do cycle in the future and have that in the back of my mind. Low dose trt or higher dose trt doesn't seem to matter. Still get gyno. So yes surgery may be the end result at some point.

    Since you're on trt, you're better off not worrying about gyno until it's a problem and then seeing your hormone doctor if something comes up

    If/when your testosterone doc recommends using letro, there's an issue and it's reasonable to worry, no?

    Define "problem". lol I mean I've had a lump in my left breast for about a year, except the couple weeks after taking arimedex a few months ago.

    Adex isnt gonna do shit for previous gyno, nolva or ralox “may” shrink it but its not going any. If those mfers start growing your only option is live with it or cut them out.

    Letro is good for flat out crashing your estrogen and then you will feel like shit, nothing worse than having bitch tits and feeling shitty and your dick dont work..

    Ok now I'm confused. I thought adex was a drug many recommended if you started seeing signs of gyno....ie sensitivity and or lumps or puffiness.

    It seemed to shrink it a few months ago when I took it.

    Like I said, I asked hormone Dr about nolva and adex. Thats when he mentioned liking letrozole better.

    Just had labs done this past Monday at that clinic, and I'll be seeing him on Tuesday for the follow up. Curious to see where my test levels are now that I'm only running 75mg once a week. Again. I don't feel all that great. Not terrible mind you, but I can tell I don't feel normal.

    Adex lowers E2. Nolva is a serm that blocks estrogen in the breast tissue.

    So then, nolva would be the better thing to take in my situation.
