My first question lol, after many years reading here…
So I’ll try to keep this as brief as possible. But I know I elaborate a lot sometimes. Also, from reading here for many years for workout tips the old crew used to want a background before giving advice. Today, not as much….
I started working out around age 8 in the early 1980s. My parents were going through divorce and I had those plastic sand weights in my room that they had bought for my older brother (who was gay and never touched them so they stayed in my room when he got his own room after my older sister went to college). Haha. I loved sports, and all those athletes in the 1980’s were jacked. I don’t care what anyone says, I think most of the athletes back then were juiced. Even the untouchables like Jordan. Just look at that body when he came back from messing with baseball.
Anyways!!! Started TRT in December 2022. Honestly my numbers were 375 and I was surprised they agreed to let me start. However, I had been so debilitated with elbow tendonitis I was happy. I promptly ordered Deca to help my joints (what I had read that worked). It helped some.
However I swear once I started taking the low dose I went from super horny for about 5 weeks to a dead dick. Therefore, I switched to NPP and had the same results. Worked great but killed my sex drive after 4-5 weeks.
The NPP was even a cut mix with test prop and mast 50/50/50.
Stuck to simply Test C after that for a while. Bumping it to 500 a couple times and got bad acne.
Like I said I read this site for years and always followed the great Makwa….. so thought I’d try a DHB cycle starting on Good Friday - March 29. From what I could understand was. It consumed the receptors and therefore caused higher estrogen. So I thought I would try to run my TRT dose with 500 DHB and 500 Mast.
Was kicking ass. Without trying I dropped 20 pounds and looked like a beast for real (well as much as you can at age 47 lol). I couldn’t wait to post pics on here to show my progress as soon as my cycle ended. I had planned for 15 weeks.
So last week, the kids went to grandma’s house for 3 days.
My sex drive wasn’t what it usually is….so I shot myself with 100 test P. Plus I took viagra. It seemed to work as I had sex with the wife about 7 times in 3 days!!!
********* I have to also add that since my test C was so low compared to the DHB and the Mast, I stopped taking an AI as I didn’t think it would be needed.
Welp. Last week after we got the kids back, with no warning whatsoever…….i felt a weird marble to the side of my right nipple. I was a little freaked. I assumed it was the test prop? Still not sure. Anyways, I took a half Nolvadex every day for 8 days as well as a half Aromasin daily and it completely went away.
I guess my question is….. Is this normal? Did I do the right thing? Am I a dumb ass?
I have 3 weeks to go to finish my cycle. I’m not going to stop my last vial of DHB with those clouds everyone freaks about (hahahahaha) because I’m sure it would crash anyway.
I have lost literally 20 pounds but look stronger than ever with the veins. I’ll post pics when I’m done. Just thought I’d share my friends.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry for the long post, I was freaking out thinking I might grow a boob and started rambling. Have a great Monday!
Don't worry, not that big a deal, they feel great going down the stairs.
What's wrong with growing a boob?
Id slap that shit around every morning.
anvilThe start of gyno yes, as estro goes down it will kinda go down in some cases. But if you hit that mark again, expect it to come back and possibly even faster.
Way too much change in hormone levels too quickly. Test and other AAS are a long game and constantly fluctuating levels are always bad for you in every way. Acne will often ease up after you raise test intake also. Estrogen spikes when you raise your levels quickly via conversion.
PS - I recognize that getting play twice a day may be worth the risk…
Im going to assume estro is high since it took 8 paragraphs with detailed back story to ask a question...
Lol. But he kept it brief.
For sure, if it concerns you that much just get bloodwork done as otherwise you are simply guessing at what could be the problem. I highly doubt that a simple shot of 100mg's of Test prop would suddenly bring on a gyno lump, it would be in and out of your system so quickly buddy I just cannot see it doing that but glad to hear you are find the DHB cycle so productive and enjoyable.
If the aromasin got rid of the lump, it's from high estrogen. I also get a lump from high estrogen. How much aromasin are you taking a day? I usually only needed about 50mg a week. Like infern0 said, blood work would be the best option, but you'll be able to figure it out with trial and error.
Well I have 12.5 pills so initially it was 12.5 EOD. However I had stopped taking any since I was keeping the Test C so low. That’s where I think I screwed myself up somehow.
My lump comes back at only 100mg of test e a week. I run the test at 75mg a week and I don't need aromasin.
I think your best and safest option is to get blood work so you can actually know where your estrogen is. Plus get your prolactin checked possibly elevated from the NPP and deca.
