Progesterone question

[sparetire]

Forgive my ignorance but..

I got my blood tests back that were taken about 2-3 weeks after my gyno incident with tren. My hrt doc told me that my estrodial, prolactin, and test were all within the normal ranges. He said that my progesterone was suppressed and said it was like ".2" or something. He said that that caused the gyno.

I thought when one hormone gets too high, it causes the gyno, but obviously I am wrong in thinking that. So, after my surgery, I'm really nervous about running steroids again, obviously so that I don't get this again.. but, what should I do or what should I run in the future to prevent my progesterone from decreasing?

I was under the misconception that tren, deca increases prolactin and doesn't suppress progesterone..

My doc did prescribe progesterone cream to reverse the low progesterone, but I haven't filled the script yet because my surgery date is at the beginning of july and I think everything is back to norm (just guessing since I'm not lactating much any more.. ) .

Obviously, in the future, I'm staying away from tren and deca. And I'm also staying away from EQ. EQ was my first steroid along with winny. I ran winny in the last half of my cycle and noticed my nips a bit puffy and my left nip itself got larger over the course of the cycle. So, for whatever reason I guess I'm sensitive to those steroids and I'm pretty sure primo, ot and test are all okay for me..(possibly winny?) and masteron..

any ideas or suggestions will be nice

trenbolone is a progestin. think of it like nolva (SERM- selective estrogen receptor modulator), trenbolone is SPRM (selective progesterone receptor modulator). In some tissues it acts like progesterone in others it has antagonistic activity. Also its activity in the tissue, even when agonistic, can be significantly different.

its not clear whether its the agonist or antagonist activity that leads to progesterone suppresion. (likely agonist)

winstrol is also a SPRM (with mostly antagonistic activity)- though it may also suppress natural progesterone

so , in general i should avoid all three? I can't be for sure whether eq was the original cause of the puffy nips. before i researched and found a source for gear, i was doing about 8 weeks of mag-10 (prohormone) and then into 7 days straight of 25 mgs of dbol which caused be to bloat up like a fish and thats when the wife pointed out the puffy nips which then I noticed afterthat...

ugh..such is the life! ;p I'll stay way from winny to be sure also!

winny causes gyno?
