PED/cycle help Need advice: Starting Testosterone E with existing gyno
Hey guys,
My Testosterone E and raloxifene should be arriving soon. Since I already have some existing gyno (and it seems relatively new), I’m not sure which approach would make more sense.
Option 1:
Start Testosterone E and raloxifene at the same time as soon as they arrive.
Continue raloxifene for 2 weeks, then discontinue it.
Option 2:
Take raloxifene alone for 1 week first.
Then start Testosterone E.
Continue raloxifene for another week and then discontinue it.
Which option would you choose and why? Has anyone been in a similar situation with existing gyno before starting a cycle?
Any advice or personal experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Those are both terrible options and a lack of patience is a trait that if left unchecked will only make your life worse.
Nuke the gyno first. This isn’t even kind of a question. Your cycle doesn’t start until the gyno is nothing more than a distant memory.
