Sides on Low Dose Test
Decided to run my first AAS of just 250mg a week of Sust broken up into two injections with .25 eod of Arimidex and 250 2x/week of hcg. Decided with the less is more approach for my first cycle. Everything is pharma grade.
Started getting slightly puffy and sensitive nips week 3 and if I squeeze my chest together nips look cone-shaped. No tenderness or bumps. I chalked it up as a flare up and/or paranoia and just decided to bump up the arimidex to find that "sweet spot". Now I'm in the middle of my 5th week and added Nolva and bumped up my arimidex dosage to .5mg ed 5 days ago. Nipples still sensitive and cone-shape is still present. Not that noticeable standing but noticeable when hunching over or doing push-ups for example.
Workouts are great in the gym and the test is accomplishing the things I expected but the gyno side is worrisome especially since it's not improving. Is it time to eat the cost of the cycle and PCT in 2 weeks?
Any advice would be great.
Thanks

Any thoughts of HCG causing this issue? I've read some people pretty much instantly start flaring up once they take HCG. I started HCG the beginning of week 3 and that's when I started noticing the nip issues.
I wouldn't have even ran the hcg in the first place with that cycle. Not needed and as you can see, the more compounds you have in a cycle the more questions you will have if something is wrong is going on and you won't be able to determine what is causing what.
What's your BF% at? I would be getting some blood work done asap. Then you will know if your ai is bunk or what is really going on. The piece of mind of blood work is priceless.
Sounds to me like you already had some fat in your chest that you just need to cut. Everyone is different, myself, for instance, I don't gain body fat in my lower body, literally almost none, I could be 25% BF and quads still showing, but stomach, love handles, man boobs, the works. That's just my genetics. I have to be sub 15% for my chest to be lean brotha, probably not gyno. As the other guys have said, .5 Adex ED should kill your estro, and you should have some pretty severe joint pain and limp dick in no time. If you're not having low estro sides from that high a dose of Adex, I would venture to say it's fake or very under-dosed.
I'm already sub 15% bf. I've been taking Nolva which everyone says mitigates some of the effect of Adex or maybe I'm just in denial that the Adex is bunk. It's called Altraz and got it from a indian pharmacy that has great reviews.
Go get blood work done. You're just guessing otherwise. 0.5ed of adex will crash your estro especially on that low dose of test. Let's see what the blood work says and go from there.
Blood work. End of story.
Sorry to hear that mate
This is why we don't recommend Sust as your first cycle. It requires more than just 2 injections a week to keep stable levels. If you're stuff is pharma grade as you say, I can't imagine .5mg a day of Adex not taking care of it. That much would probably kill your estro. Maybe it's in your head? Have your nipples always looked like this? Maybe you're just noticing it more because you are on gear and worrying about it.
Yes, I know some people prefer eod injections and some prefer 2x/week. I chose the latter. I got all my on cycle and pct products from a pharmacy in India.
I went through the internet induced gyno hysteria phase a couple weeks ago and now think it needs to be addressed. Nips precycle would get puffy sometimes but definitely never had the cone-shape appearance.
Other than you posting a picture it's hard to tell. If you don't feel any lumps and they're not tender it just may be cosmetic. As far as ending your cycle that would be up to you.
