hard mass above right nipple

[dieselman2388]

So i have this annoying mass and i guess its a result of gyno. I think a remember reading breakthrough had something like this a while ago and few other bros. Luckily its NOT visible it can only be felt about its a small hard mass under the skin above (not directly under) my right nipple. I have some letro in that i'm going to see if it will shrink it. Does anyone have any other advice its fairly annoying?

Good gyno piece I posted for Crazed earlier. Got it off Steroid.com



I am posting this thread to help answer all of the questions regarding gyno prevention and reversal, the use of letrozole and other anti-e’s. I will go over everything in very simple easy to understand language. Also we are talking about estrogen gyno here, not progesterone (but using letro will stop progesterone related problems as well since it inhibits all estrogen anyways). Progesterone gyno will be enlargement of your nipple area, the actual aereola, not a lump under it.

Let me make this first point very clear, as I state in my signature this is from my personal experience, so whether you agree with it or not is your own issue. I have helped many people with gyno and it has worked just fine for them as well.

To first understand why you are doing what you are doing I am going to go over a few things and a few definitions:

SERM – Selective estrogen receptor modulator. These drugs work by binding to the estrogen receptors and flooding them in a sense, making it difficult (but not impossible by any means) for estrogen to bind to the receptors and thus prevent the onset of estrogen related side effects.
Most common forms: Tamoxifen (Nolvadex), Clomiphene (Clomid)
AI – Aromatise Inhibitor. These drugs work by inhibiting the aromatization of estrogen. This means that in effect AI’s prevent androgens from converting to estrogen, again, making it difficult (but not impossible) for estrogen to reach receptor sites.
Most common forms: Anastrozole (l-dex, a-dex), Exemestane (aromasin), Femera (letrozole). For our purpose of reversing gyno we are interested in Letro.

Letro and your sex drive:
Letrozole will suppress your sex drive. This is another reason why it is so important to act on preventing gyno as soon as possible. Since we all know that Test should be run in every cycle this will cancel out the effect of sex drive suppression.

Running letro to prevent gyno:
If you decide to run estrogen protection while on cycle (and I suggest you do unless you are aware that you do not require it), you can run either a SERM or an AI. Letro will be the most powerful AI you can use, it will inhibit 98+% of estrogen using a dose as low as .25mg and even lower. This is why I suggest you do not use a dose higher than .50mg while on cycle just trying to prevent estrogen related side effects.

You will want to start running the letro approximately 2 weeks before you begin your cycle to allow it to fully stabilize in your blood. I have often heard the argument that letro takes up to 60 days to stabilize, I don’t know if I buy into this for the reason that I have reversed gyno after using letro for only 1 week. Still to be safe I recommend starting it before your cycle as stated above.

If you do decide to run letro there is absolutely no need to run another AI or SERM. Do not make the mistake of thinking more is better. Think of it this way; if letro is preventing the conversion of androgens to estrogen than there is no estrogen, what would the purpose of a SERM be when there is no estrogen to bind to the receptors? Nolva will only take away from the effectiveness of letro.

This brings me to my next point. Do not listen to anyone who tells you to bump up your nolvadex to 60+mg ED if you get gyno. I have no idea where this idea started but I have seen it suggest far too many times recently. Nolvadex will do nothing to reverse your gyno…let me make that clear IT WILL DO NOTHING FOR GYNO. If you are running nolva as your anti-e and start to develop gyno than sure you can bump the dosage a small amount to try to prevent it from progressing further, but letrozole must begin ASAP.

It is very important that you begin taking letrozole immediately, the longer your wait the more risk you take in not being able to reverse it.

How do I know if I have gyno?
If you have developed gyno you will have a lump behind your nipple. It will be fairly hard, and it will be tender to touch.

Running letro to reverse gyno:
I am going to go over the three different scenarios which people could fit into. Remember regardless of what scenario you are in it is important that you begin taking the letro ASAP.

1. Already using an anti-e aside from letro.
2. Already using letro @ a dose of .25mg or .50mg ED.
3. Not running any estrogen protection.

1.
Day 1: .25mg Letro + anti-e*
Day 2: .50mg Letro
Day 3: 1.0mg Letro
Day 4: 1.5mg Letro
Day 5: 2.0mg Letro
Day 6: 2.5mg Letro **

2.
Day 1: .50mg Letro
Day 2: 1.0mg Letro
Day 3: 1.5mg Letro
Day 4: 2.0mg Letro
Day 5: 2.5mg Letro **

3.
Day 1: .50mg Letro
Day 2: 1.0mg Letro
Day 3: 1.5mg Letro
Day 4: 2.0mg Letro
Day 5: 2.5mg Letro **

*Regardless of the anti-e you are using it is important to still use it for the first day you begin letro as the letro will not have taken any effect and you by no means want your body to be without any protection when gyno is already prevalent.

** You will remain at this dose until gyno symptoms subside. Once you believe your gyno is gone it is important to stay at this dose for another 4-7 days to ensure all traces are gone. I recommend people with a bf% over 15 stay on for a week as it may be harder to judge completely whether the lump is completely gone. Once this period is over it will be important to taper letro down slowly rather than coming off it completely. Regardless of which manner you tapered up your dose you will all taper down in the same fashion.

Day 1: 2.0mg
Day 2: 1.5mg
Day 3: 1.0mg
Day 4: .50mg***
Day 5: .25mg
***You can remain at this dose or go down further to .25mg. It is really up to you at this point. They are both very common maintenance doses as an anti-e while on cycle. Personally I have stayed with .25mg and never had a problem.

Letro and the estrogen rebound:
With your estrogen being completely inhibited there is a definite estrogen rebound as your body tries to re-stabilize the testosterone:estrogen balance. We can prevent this rebound effect by supplementing further with another AI or SERM. So, I suggest that when you are coming to the end of your cycle you will more than likely be using Nolva in your PCT so just make sure that you begin taking nolva the last day you are going to take your letro and then continue on as you would with regular PCT.

This now leads us into the question of reversing gyno while not on cycle. There are a few things to remember here. You have already waited longer than you should have, and your sex drive will be shot. You can use tribulus or another natural test booster to help you in this scenario but I can’t guarantee the effectiveness. Just follow gyno reversal protocols 2 or 3. When coming off again you must taper and begin using nolvadex to prevent any rebound effect that may occur.

How much nolvadex should you use if you are not going into PCT and running this off cycle? I suggest starting at 20mg ED for a week and then lowering it to 10mg for another week and then coming off completely.

I hope this covers most of the issues, still feel free to PM me if you have questions. But make sure you read the entire post first.

I will ignore PM's that have an answer covered in this post already.

Is it just me or does gyno seem to come at the same time for multiple people? It's like there's never just one person that gets it. It comes in bunches.

God I'm probably. Next glad I'm only taking 1250 test 1000 eq and 100mg dbol and just started tren Tuesday I'm going to order all that shit as wee speak

[megaman85]

Lost handful of hair, 4 pimples popped up on my chest, broke out in a cold sweat, started to beat my dog and my nipples started to burn.. All from just reading Jeff's cycle!!

MADMAN JEFF GRRRRRRRR

[sideshow1701]

make an automated injection machine just keep it running at a slow drip.

turn everything to liquid form ,so the pouch doest eat it.

Mega plunked out on me with eq he was suppose to be at a thousand to but he's scared of some acne. Sorry for getting of subject. Diesel

[dieselman2388]

ha its cool bro, I just wanna get this thing gone and I've always known to get at it early because if it gets bad enough only surgery can fix it. I'd prefer to not to that lol

[dieselman2388]

the letro seems to be working just fine. Reduced in size and no soreness

[megaman85]

thats good diesel. I have a buddy who just got the gyno cut out of both of his nips actually. His insurance paid for it, i know its sucks to have done, but they removed the glands that produce that so i think his doc told him that he can never get gyno again.

[kj1212]

I'm not sure if this is true for everyone, but whenever I've used Letro to reverse gyno in its early stages, I've had terrrible joint pain. Joint pain from Winny is nothing compared to what I've experienced with Letro. However, I did use it for longer than necessary just to be sure the gyno cleared so a low dose for just a few days shouldn't give you joint aches.

I ve been told the same thing by my dr. I may elect to have it done, later. Once the tissue is gone, its gone.

I've read for some it does come back even after surgery.

I stand corrected. After researching it a bit, it seems that it can, in some cases return even after surgery. Thanx for the heads up

[dieselman2388]

I just hesitate to resort to surgery because they can butcher you i'm sure and i've done soo much work to have my look be a certain way i'd hate for my chest to look messed up.

[megaman85]

idk, my friend told me they took the gland out that produced it. I know his chest looks better now than ever before after the surgery. But diesel, i dont blame you there, no one wants surgery!!

Bump mega. After hearing about Jeff's botched "enhancement" surgery, I don't blame you for holding out.

lmao ^^^^^^

Yea he's all fucked up about it. He cries on the phone sometimes. He was supposed to get the implant but left with a vag instead.

yep, certainly can return if all the breast tissue isn't removed..

Like most things, select a surgeon who has a lot of documented experience in treating this condition. Your run of the mill plastics guys probably doesn't see this very often.
