[QUOTE="Someguy, post: 13629, member: 2736"] I'm in a bit of a strange position because I've been with a doctor who seems to be less than knowledgeable. I suspect that my E2 was high for a month or two before they would test it or consider an AI. They finally did test it (using the standard, not sensitive E2 test, which I understand is pretty much worthless) and then prescribed me 1mg of arimidex per day. That took care of my sensitive, large nipples pretty quickly but after 3 weeks or so my E2 levels crashed hard. I felt like crap. I did my own labs through privatemdlabs (sensitive E2) and the result came back as < 3. I've tapered off the arimidex on my own and am now starting to get a bit of nipple sensitivity again. I plan to get another sensitive e2 test on my own in another couple of weeks to see where I am. I'm also in the process of trying to find another doctor. I guess the bottom line is that I may have been at untreated high E2 levels for up to two months, and my nipples seem larger. I understand that prompt treatment is necissary in the case that this IS gyno, so I don't want to delay much longer. What exactly should I be feeling for to to confirm gyno vs normally pointier TRT nipples with underlying fat and muscle tissue? [/QUOTE]
