Bridgeburn I need your help more than ever. There's something I have to admit... I've been in denial but I cant lie to myself any more. I was just looking in the mirror and realized that my gyno is getting pretty bad. Much worse than I let on. It's now noticable through my clothing on the right angle that I usally dont see myself in the morror from. It was easy to lie to myself because I work out and just kept thinking that my pec muscles are getting bigger like an idiot. This has hit me pretty hard. I am not prepared to have it get any worse so I only see one option left for me. I am more concerned with maintenence than growth now so what if I continue to take test blockers like cypro but refrain from taking anymore Estrogen? will I keep my gains? will my hair loss halt from just cypro? I mean isnt cypro kind of like an extreme version of finasteride? Isn't there a chance thet I will continue to regrow hair from just cypro? will my gyno Halt? it should right? I have to admit i do enjoy looking a bit younger because of the estrogen, will I have simmilar effects from just cypro? I know it is unhealthy to be on test blockers without any estrogen but It seems to be my only option left. and who knows maybe I'll only have to be on it a for a year or so if brotzu ends up being a decent maitenence option. Maybe I can take Estrogen just once or twice a week. Its a shame these last few months I really enjoyed not having to worry all the time about hairloss and now here I am again. Obviously I'm desperate and I anxiously await your reply. Please tell me there's some hope for me.
If you take cypro alone, its still possible to get gyno, some do some don't. its indirectly estrogenic from its heavy androgen antagonism. even back in the day, some eunuchs got gyno.
It will not develop to full fledge breasts or to the extant as with estrogen.
If you take just cypro, its generally safe for a year or two, but long term could lead to bone mineral density problems.
if you take raloxifene with cypro, it will maintain your bones.
regarding raloxifene, Idk what effect it may have on hair.
theres mixed anecedotes about it
raloxifene increases LH, so sex steriods, but with cypro should counter that.
Its very possible youll be able to maintain hair as long as its not exposed to enough androgens to change gene expression. cypro even alone is pretty extreme.
Ein has mentioned on here before that metformin is a breast specific aromatase inhibitor.
I'd say your options to try are:
-check if gyno gets better on cypro alone (risky, could end up permanent gyno if it doesn't)
-cypro plus ralox and/ or metformin.
-Dht gel on breasts while on HRT (risky as f*** for hair but who knows)
-switching to estriol (low ERa preference)
-topical dexamethasone? , this is something ive been considering lately. it increases aromatase in derma papillia by 9X. It also downregulates ERa (supposedly ERb is what is good for hair, and ERa is what causes breast development)
-just accept it and try to find a girl who's into it.
-surgery, then you can take Hrt and whatever you want and won't get any gyno. (unless theres some tissue that the surgeon missed)
