question from a user
I realize you need to answer in a generalization, but I’m searching for answers on nipple sensitivity and puffiness around the nipple. Currently no lumps under or around the area that I can feel. I’m 37, 170lbs and lean. Been on TRT for 10 weeks. My doctor prescribed 200mg/week of test cypionate, split into two 100mg doses administered SubQ twice a week. Also on HCG as my wife and I weren’t sure if we are done having kids. HCG is 1/2ml 3 times a week. I started having sensitivity around a week ago. I’ve read a few guys had similar symptoms as mine, up to mild gyno, after starting HCG. I’m freaking out about the possibility of getting gyno and want to knock these symptoms out ASAP. Just had a blood test done to review levels and don’t have the results back yet. My doc is out of town so I haven’t been able to discuss my symptoms with him and it’s driving me crazy. Lol.

hCG aromatizes more that testosterone does. Your likely having elevated estradiol from that. You should speak with your doctor, but your options are to stop the hCG for now or start an AI. Without your doctor around to prescribe it, and without your lab results, I would recommend you stop the hCG until he gets back in town and you can start an AI.
