Questions about side effects..

some are prone to gyno and some are not....everyones different

Posted by: ironclad

Just wondering..If injecting Testosterone causes the body to elevate estrogen production equally - and we call gyno (and other things) 'side effects' what actually happens to the excess estrogen if it doesn't cause symptoms?
Do some men just get away with it and avoid the feminisation part of the balance?
Why don't all of us get gyno everytime?Coz the other side effects seem likely, water retention etc.
Are side effects of Test actually uncommon?I'm guessing they are or they would be primary or seconday..

Sorry, looks like a million Qs but theres only one or two.Honest...

I've done alot of reading on this in the past.It seems that it depends on the estrogen receptors in the male body.Some men have more, and some have none at all in the breast tissue area.I believe this has alot to do with your tendency to get gyno.From my understanding, all excess test in your body gets attached to an aromatase enzyme which converts it to estrogen.This is your bodies attempt to balance the two hormones (men need estrogen in their body as well).So to answer your other question, side effects of test are caused by the excess test converting to estrogen.You just have to take the proper precautions and be aware of your body.

bumpin Capt. Grabshisanlkes, for me personally i am not gyno prone at all...i have some pubertiy induced gyno which i was sure would bother me once i started down the dark side but after trial and error i dont hvea to run an AI though i altoght i always have them on hand and sometimes use them for bloat etc or if i go really heavy dpse wise but i am now aftet trial and error i dont need higher doses to achieve the goals i am after, just wate more money, many compansete with high doses for shitty diet

ALthough not all of us are gyno prone (myself for one), there is no escaping the fact that the excess testosterone will aromatise into estrogen and cause problems of some sort. A good way to forget about estrogen converstion is to run an AI throughout your entire cycle, pct, and 3 weeks after.
