[QUOTE="madman, post: 197511, member: 13851"] You are only 3 weeks in and the body is trying to adjust as T levels are increasing. Increased nipple sensitivity can happen in some. If you are experiencing swelling/pain or tenderness it can be early signs of gynecomastia developing but in many cases, it will only happen to the genetically prone and is rare when using therapeutic doses of T. As long as you do not feel a lump/rubbery mass when squeezing then I would not jump to any conclusions as of yet as your hormones are in flux.

It is also very common for many men to experience ups/downs in energy/mood/libido/erections/recovery [B][I]during the transition as the body is trying to adjust which can be very misleading. Even then do understand that once blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks) it will take another 2-3 months for the body to fully adapt to those new levels and this is the critical time period when one should gauge how they truly feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms.[/I][/B] When looking at the big picture the first 4-6 weeks is very misleading for most! 2-3 months after blood levels have stabilized if you continue to feel great overall and blood markers remain healthy then one can truly claim that your protocol is effective! Patience is key. [/QUOTE]
