Hormone catch 22.Need opinions.

I've been using Eq@700mg/ew with very good results musclewise.
However,it seems i'm both prone to gyno and some prostate enlargement.
Therefore i take proscar 2mg/ed and aromasin 10mg/ed ,both of which would seem too much for EQ alone.
However,2 weeks ago i feel the prostate getting bigger and i start taking 500mg/ed of saw palmetto...
It's been a few days not that i feel the nipples itching !!
So,i think of adding raloxifene @30mg/ed which has worked for me in the past reducing the lumps i had.Until now i thought i was overly sensitive to progesterone gyno and that any estrogen gyno would be taken care of with the aromasin.
Any opinions on this ?

Probably not what you want to hear......maybe it's time to get off?

Never had gyno issues with EQ personally even at 1g wk. When you say you feel your prostate enlarging what exactly do you mean>?

I meant a slight urine flow slowdown.
It's gone now with the saw palmetto.
I've experienced similar sides in the past.It seems dht blockers could possibly do more than increase test levels and thus aromatizing test.Could probablu upregulate estrogen receptors in breast tissue...?

I think one of the best opinions we could give you is to see a doctor and be candid with him. It may be nothing, it may be something. With that in depth of a problem, I dont think that anyone on here could diagnose safely. Even a doctor would have to see you to give his best answer. Good luck brother.
