TRT side effects question.

Hey everyone, been a long time lurker but first time H/F poster. Hope to be more involved on this board since working out and dieting has become such an important part of my life now.
So quick question, I started TRT about 2 weeks ago. Was prescribed 1mL/wk (Cypionate) and the last couple days I’ve noticed my nipple region has been very sensitive and sore. Anyone have this issue and how did it turn out over time?

Were you not prescribed an estrogen blocker?

Nope, of course my doctor is on vacation. Brought the question here while I wait for the nurse/ or another doctor to give me a call back.
My doctor is a great guy but he didn’t even bring up an estrogen blocker. My Total Test was 182 so he instantly had me pick up a prescription and gave me my first shot in the office.

Two weeks seems pretty quick to have estrogen problems imo

I think that’ll just be an initial reaction. I don’t see an estrogen blocker necessary for long term use. The only long term issue that can pop up is too enlarged of a prostrate, so get your endo to check that out.

Seems quick too me also. I also frequently watch Moreplatesmoredates also. Very informative.

Will do. Appreciate the guidance.

so usually you might get a quick spike in estrogen and it levels out. I wouldnt worry too much about it yet. if it continues another week or 10 days...get an aromitize inhibitor (estrogen blocker).
do not let him give you a serm, tell him you want an AI.
as far as side effects, if you are taking th eshot atleast once a week (twice is much better) and you are taking a dose that keeps you in the upper end of the range for your AGE group then you should see very little side effects.
as others have mentioned, keep an eye on the prostate, some do develop issues with that, but usually that is associated with supra physicological doses.
full disclosure...i hardly watch moreplatesmoredates but have been on this a long arse time and did a shite ton of research on it and other steroids for years before I allowed myself to go on.

I know there’s tons of knowledge here so I visit this site as soon as my eyes pop open in the morning.
Worked out in the past many times but this has been the most serious. My mornings always consist of researching and studying working out/ dieting. It’s a constant learning curve it seems. I honestly never thought I’d be into something as much as this.
Back story... 36. Year ago I weighed 178 and it was a lot of fat for my small 5’8” frame. Lost 40lbs in about 5 months. I should’ve stop losing at about 150 but overshot. My diet is VERY strict and I work out 6 days/ wk. Have stayed at about 140 the last couple months and am very gradually trying to add quality weight. I know 140 is small but I’ve definitely made the most out of it and it’s time to increase weight.
Sorry for the novel but wanted to give a little more info since I’ll be hanging around a little more.

200mg of test Cyp (essentially 1mL of what you’re taking) for someone your age if your levels were indeed down in the 180s will get you roughly to the levels you experienced around age 17, maybe a little higher. You’ll burn a higher % of fat and build a much greater % of muscle. Just know this, if you stay on it for the long term and don’t diet like hell you’ll only really gain weight or stay the same weight. So don’t rush into bulking up all of a sudden. Sometimes when you do that it’s crappy weight that’ll be hard to trim off if you’re still on the test. Slowly build by continuing to lift hard and eat clean and in a year you’ll be built like a rock at like 170!

Good words of encouragement about the 170 range. Test was indeed 182 and Free test was 9.2. I Eat the same thing at the same times everyday for the last year. Very slight changes, (maybe a baked potato swapped with rice to give an example). I do have a couple beers on Sunday afternoons but no soft drinks, fast food in the last year.
I watch Greg Doucette and have found healthy, filling foods that I enjoy so I don’t really feel like I go without.
Just a humble learner that appreciates any advice given. I’ll keep an update going every so often and I’m sure I’ll annoy everyone with my frequent questions.

Maintain 140, pickup a road bike and crush people's soul with a super snappy sprint and high acceleration.

Not really sure how long. He gave me enough for 10 weeks at that rate so maybe he will re evaluate then. If it is working on making my quality of life better then not sure how long.
He gave it to me in the gluteus madius area and that where I’ve been injecting since.

Haha, maybe that’s the ticket. Use the small, muscular size to my advantage.

did he tell you to take it once a week or what? usually 200 is too much for a weekly dose and you want to be taking weekly.
I took intramuscular for years and have recently switched to sub q taking it in the stomach. no pain, dont een feel it. its nice. might wanna think about that. I use a 27gauge 1/2" long needle for that.
Posted on 3/31/21 at 9:04 am to lsu777
Yes, he instructed once a week and even gave me the first shot with the full 200.
Above my knowledge so not sure the differences. Will absolutely look into that. Thanks

As someone who competed in bb at 220 and now sits around 195 as an ultra runner and triathlete, I gotta say this guys advice is gold! What I would do to weigh 140, or even 160, and be on the test. Probably not you’re going for OP, but it would have you feeling so much better long term! And your legs would blow the frick up!
