IGF and gyno

What are your thoughts on IGF icreasing the severity of previously formed gyno? If this happens, no anti or aromatase inhibitor will stop it, right? Any of you guys who have used IGF have gyno form a previous cycle? How did it effect it if at all?

I think that IGF can make you more sensitive to getting gyno, especially if you've had it before. It makes all of your cells more sensitive to growth factors, thus it would make sense that if you are getting gyno that it could happen faster while on IGF. Anti-Es and aromatase inhibitors would still probably work, but not as well as you would expect because you'd have to overcome the whole cumulative effect.

I was wondering that myself but just thought that I was nuts. I've had gyno from previous cycles and just got over some prog gyno (still have a little leakage, not much). I was on IGF by itself and I noticed that my nipples were always puffy and not tight like they usually are while off cycle. I know that IGF increases prolactin in some individuals.......if anyone else can expand on this.....

I've never had actual gyno in the whole time I've been on HRT, but only recently on this last cycle of IGF and M1T, just last week in fact, I noticed that my nipples were just a little bit sore. To my surprise, I was able to get a tiny bit of fluid out of them but they are not puffy.

Considering that I was on a pretty long cycle of IGF (and it was still working when I came off although results were starting to decline), that probably contributed to it besides the M1T. (I heard that many users of M1T by itself also experienced fluid from their nipples but without the regular puffiness of gyno.) I have cycled M1T about three times prior already but never experienced any sore nipples or anything related to gyno so I have to conclude that the IGF made me more sensitive to it.

Tony, were you using any anti's while on the M1T?

I've done a couple M1T cycles and never had any gyno or prolactin problems. I used anti-e's post cycle.

Not the first couple of cycles, I didn't, but later on I got some Liqui-Fem (letrozole)--that's the femara, and clomid. I already normally have low levels of test though so most of the time even taking M1T will not be enough to give me gyno. It was only on this prolonged IGF-1 cycle at the end that did something because I actually _gained_ weight while losing bodyfat which doesn't normally happen with IGF.

I typically do the anti-e towards the end of the cycle so I'm on them now.

I should add that I've been off IGF now since last Friday, and the little bit of soreness that I had is disappearing.

If I look at my nipples wrong i get gyno some people are just lucky like me iguess:nope:
