Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 This is amazing. Yes, I have experienced this as well. But, saying that, I have been on replacement therapy for some time. I've noticed my nipples actually have gotten somewhat bigger and much harder as well as sensitive. Sensitive in a nice way. nort828 <nort828@...> wrote:Anyone else experience this?

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 That's interesting. I have my " E " level check frequently and it is never a problem. I think the doctor gets tired of me asking him to check it, but reading what I do on here makes me think I'm right in asking him to check them. In my case, the E level is not a problem. retrogrouch@... wrote:On Wed, 21 Jul 2004 18:36:27 -0000, you wrote: >Anyone else experience this?

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Joe just to sure we are taling about the same thing it is not E the is the problem it is E2(Estradiol). If you are having your Dr. check just E then you don't know if your E2 is high. Also try taking some Zinc with Copper it helps with keeping E2 down and is good for your testis.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Phil, thanks for the reply. You were correct I was not talking about the same thing. I don't know anything about E2. Maybe you can help me out with some info. I take Zinc daily. I haven't had the shrinkage that others write about, nor have I had clear semen, so maybe the zinc is helping. What do you think? philip georgian <pmgamer18@...> wrote:Joe just to sure we are taling about the same thing it is not E the is the problem it is E2(Estradiol).

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Hi Joe yes I have some links and the Zinc does help.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Guys, I've found an interesting phenomenon in my case regarding this subject. The first week after getting the biweekly injection I didn't notice too much with the nipples, and I didn't feel all that much better. The second week my nipples seemed more sensitive and a little more swollen than usual, but I felt much better. I had the second shot two days ago, and my nipples seem less sensitive again. I think i am still feeling better, although I've had to overdo things the last couple days so i'm a bit wiped out. But I think I would have been much more wiped out before starting TRT at the same activity level. The only E2 test I ever had indicated E2 as less than 32. I'm wondering by the above results if I had really low E2 in addition to low T? After all, my nipples being puffy and sensitive corresponded to me feeling better.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Hi Mark, It's likely your E2 will go up with the T-cyp. Your last E2 test is history. I think you should have your levels tested about 4-5 weeks after starting injections, that's what my doc did. My GUESS is it's presently too early to be experiencing significant TRT-related E2 problems, but keep an eye on it. Here's a SWAG theory on your interesting phenomenon: your T was dropping off in the week before your 2nd shot, so the ratio of T to E2 was getting lower, nipples thus more sensative. Your next shot boosted T, so the T:E2 ratio was higher, thus nipples less sensative. DO NOT OVERDO THINGS. Your CFS-like symptoms have kept you inactive for a long time. Anyone who rapidly goes from inactivity to activity is likely to wind up flat on their ass. Peace, Bruce > Guys, > > I've found an interesting phenomenon in my case regarding this > subject.

As E2 comes from conversion from testosterone, low testosterone will often result in low E2. And its beginning to look like the bone density issues from low T may actually stem to a large degree from this fact. Studies show folks with high T but aromotase deficiencies end up with low E2 and serious bone density issues. - - - - Just another albino black sheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Bruce, Good advice as usual. I guess what I meant is that I wonder if I was feeling bad not just from low T but from low E2 as well, since I started to really feel better once my nipples got sensitive.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I'm guessing my endo was talking about the same studies you are when she said it is being shown that men need E2 for several things, including bone density. Good to know she is up on some of the latest research. I really hope she doesn't decide to leave town.

I think its when they start getting hard a lot that E2 has gone to high, not just sensitive. - - - - Just another albino black sheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Mark - always looking for a new doctor here. What town's your endo in, she sounds good. In addition to my Testosterone issues, I have no THyroid gland, so if I could get T and Th done by the same doc, it would be great. If your doc's in Los Angeles area, could you post or email her name and number? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Dave, She's in Chicago. Not sure how good she is yet as I've only seen her once and talked to her a few times. But she seems more knowledgable than most docs. Although she's not doing E2 management yet, she sounded open to looking at it if it becomes necessary.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hardening nipples is more a sign of high e2 than high testosterone. Chances are, you put on the gel, a bunch of it aromatises to e2 and you are left with hard nipples. Have you had your e2 tested lately? It doesn't necessarilly mean your e2 is getting out of control, but it's important to keep an eye on it. Armyguy > Anyone else experience this?

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Are we talking a total all the time hardening of the nipples, or hardening from stimulation. I'm not too embarrassed to admit that with a little stimulation from my partner my nipples get hard and I enjoy it. But that's normal, nothing to do with TRT or E2 levels, correct?

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 When we talk about nipples and high E2 I have hard and sore nipples all the time until I got my E2 down.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Were talking hard itchy nipples with no stimulation. Nipples that get very sensitive just rubbing against your shirt. Everybody's nipples should get hard when stimulated... enjoy! > > Anyone else experience this?
