taking only 200 of cyp a week for TRT and my nips are way sore!??
background:
I am 43 and used a lot of gear in the late 80' early 90's. I used some Nolva for PCT back then and that was pretty much it. I did have bacne, crazy mood swings, water retention, etc but I was young and thats the way it was for me back in the day. Fast forward 20 years...I have always been consistent in the gym and eat clean but age has caught up and a low T count of 270.
My Doc (who is a friend) put me on Cyp two pins a week at 100 per pin. He knows about my bacne and the ups and down so he wants me to be consistent. Here's the issue...I am coming into week 3 and my nips are way sore and I yesterday I wanted to rip someones head off.
Should I take Adex or Aromatasin with such a low dose of Cyp? If so, what dose of AI.
I apologize in adance for any stupid ?'s. there's a ton of great info on here but I couldnt find anything specific for low amounts of test and an AI.
btw-I wish this incredible resource was around "back in the day"..I dont know how in the fk I am still breathing:)

Bro...my doc started me at 150mg/week of cyp. and only after a month increased it to 160. I told her that my moods fluctuate quite a bit and that I had itchy nips. She put me on .5 mg of Anastazole twice a week. I would think that 200 mg. is a little much for TRT, but I'm not a Dr.
I would definitely tell your Dr. friend whats up and see if he can get you some RX Anastrazole. When I ran a cycle earlier this year I had bought some Arimadex from a trusted source, but later think that it may have been bunk..so I would try to get the RX stuff, that way you know it's legit.
The Anastrazole takes about 2-3 weeks to stabilize your Estrogen so don't expect instant results like I did. In the beginning of TRT my estrogen was at 19, after the 1st month the Dr. took some bloods and it had shot up to 33, so even after just a month your estrogen can be out of whack.
If it were me I would trim the Cyp. back to 150 and start the Anastrazole...just to see if things would level out after a few weeks...just my 2 cents.
Thanks MG. I just got back from the doc. 200 was way too much for trt after 2.5 weeks my test went from 270 to 1268 and my estradiol was 38. I went to 100 starting this week 50 on Sun 50 on Wed. I never had gyno but itchy nips is a good description, not to mention moody as f*$k. He didnt want to put me on anything for the estro until he sees what the results are of less test. I honestly already feel better.
This is all just a big adjustment. I am conflicted the mature man in me wants the trt and to feel and look better but on the other side I have trained my ass off for twenty+ years and I want to load up like old times. Hence starting out at 200 a week:) Maybe I will get my feet wet with the trt and learn more about how to do things right and load up down the road....but then again maybe the mature side will win---
Yeah, I would definitely see how you adjust to the 100/week. I too want to start hitting it at 250-300 twice a week, but know that it is not a wise choice right now. I want to get my T stabilized then maybe do a blast & cruise. I probably wouldn't even think about that until 6-8 months down the road. I would definitely keep an eye on the estrogen, I had the same problem. Mine shot up real quick, so I know how you feel.
Hope things start evening out for you...keep us posted!
Just go by what your body tells you..and relay it to the Dr., communication is key. My doc is really cool, she even offered to give me a boost this week cause she thought I wasn't going to be in for my shot this Monday. And, she is kinda hot too, which makes it all that much better.
200mg of Cyp per week is a lot for TRT. You should either do 100mg per week or 200mg every 2 weeks.
Adex .25e3d or aromasin. Yes...estro control and bloodwork as stated. Gyno wont wait so get the ai going now!
Thanks-bloodwork on Monday for sure--totally bummed about the gyno. any personal preference adex or aromasin. aromasin at .25 every or every other day?
Your best bet is to get blood tests done to see how high your estro is before you take the AI.. I wouldn't imagine at 200mg you wouldn't need much if any but if your nips are sore I think that warrants a blood test to be safe.
