GYNO -- is it rarer than I think?

[Tuck]

I've done a number of cycles, some lasting as long as 5 months using about 600 mg's of test per week (sust or cyp or enanthate) and have never had a problem with sensitive nipples or gyno, either while on it, or while coming off. I always keep nolva handy in case it DOES happen, but, thankfully, it hasn't.

So my question is: is gyno rarer than we're led to believe, told as a cautionary tale? or am I just one of the lucky ones who hasn't had any problems yet?

Thanks

that's certainly luck....and genetic predisposition

gyno is my worst enemy on or off cycle...shit, i just had a bout with it and i haven't juiced in years!!! i think it was a prescription med that did it to me. Plenty of people are in the same boat as me....consider yourself one of the few lucky ones

i don't get many other sides too bad...but gyno is always on my mind whenever i touch any type of AAS

It's genetics. I'm the same way, I can run test w/o an AI and be fine, at least up to 500 anyway.
It's like balding, some guys are predisposed and some don't shed no matter what.

I feel like I'm lucky, I'm prone to MPB and yet haven't noticed any additional shedding while on my cycles. I did notice recently though my nips got a little tender when I didn't take my AIFM for a few days while on 750 mg Sust a week. Did start taking it again and the problem went away.

its not that common at lower doses, but when you start passing the 750- gram threshold and or especially stacked with nandrolones you best be careful

speak for yourself!! i get itchy nips at 250 a week of test if i don't run some type of anti-e!

What's even more bizarre is that I could cycle whatever I wanted 15 years ago and never had a gyno issue. Now I have to have surgery and have been battling it every cycle for the past 3 years. So you see, even your own predisposition can chnage as your body "matures".

I've been training for 18 years, and using AAS on and off for 1/2 that time. I know only 2 people that have had gyno surgery, and have seen in person maybe 10 that should have it done,. That's out of many thousands of people I've seen in the gym (Worlds, and now Gold's), and hundreds that I know have used or are using AAS.
Myself I'm presently at 2.3 grams of gear EW with no AI's and only have an occasional nipple itch.
That being said; My training partner got puffy nips at the end of his last cycle and it still bothers him every morning - he says it goes away as the day progresses. He says there's no pain, nor hard lumps. He was using Adex the last few weeks of the cycle followed by 12 days of Clomid. Any suggestions?

It depends from person to person. I've seen a thread by a guy who was running almost 6g of assorted gear per week and he'd recently increased his AI usage to two squirts of AIFM EOD. I have to watch my oestrogen at even sub-500 doses.

the only thing iv noticed so far is i always have the high beams going when on sus lol. I could cut glass with these things.

Its kinda funny cuz When i first started gear i was scared of gyno because when i started puiberty i got REALLY puffy nips. It was so bad that my mom actually took me to the doc. but within a year it whent to normal. Suposadly my natural test levles shot WAAAAAAAAY up when i started puiberty and it caused my est lvls to go all crazy.
