Title: Thought my chest was supposed to shrink on t not grow
Post by: patrick1967 on March 01, 2017, 01:40:07 PM
over the past week, basically since my last shot, i have noticed the chest has become fuller again, after shrinking a bit initially. My weight has fluctuated by about 5-7 lbs over the past month and while the saddlebags n hips seem to be shrinking the increase up top has me frustrated. Anyone else experieenced this?

I heard T is meant to reduce fat from the chest and move it to the stomach area, but I've seen no change good or bad.

I had no chest changes on T whatsoever. But I was only on T for a few months before top surgery.

Moobs increase size depending on your hormonal cycle (the female one). I think it varies ever so slightly from week to week. Gaining weight also has an impact on it.

Just to be sure you could go get your levels checked. If your T levels are too high, some of it might be aromatising back into estrogen. Which I am guessing could have an impact on it.

I am thinking it my be more weight related, so I am carefully watching what I am eating for a bit. My other changes are progressing well, arm and leg hair coming in, a bit more facial but I will ask her to check my E end of the month
