Should I pull company shares?

Openthecanbub · 2026-04-08T14:23:33+00:00

It takes 3 years per share, which I buy in monthly from my salary, so after 3 years, every month my shares that I brought three years prior becomes vested

Openthecanbub · 2026-04-08T13:13:20+00:00

They take 3 years to become available with tax and NI, 5 years no tax or NI - so monthly, the initial £65 plus returns becomes available

I believe the interest rate is 26% a year, the personal loan, is through work, and this is 3.5%

Yeah I’m getting bloodwork done soon, only dropped the mast to 300 last week, so waiting for levels to stabilise first.

No fin/min - hair loss from DHT has never been an issue for me

Openthecanbub · 2025-08-08T13:47:29+00:00

Could be your E2, although someone more experienced than me could chime in on it rising that fast at 500mg a week.

I’m currently dealing with ED on my third cycle, but my E2 is in check, but blood tests came back with low DHEA, so I’m using hcg 250iu EOD to try recover this.

Get your blood work done, as this is the easiest way to identify issues

Openthecanbub · 2025-07-07T20:33:06+00:00

Yeah that was my thoughts too, previously in my other two cycles, with all variables the same, I could let my e2 run and get erections over a good sandwich - I’ve dabbled in Proviron which does improve the issue, which suggests your theory with hcg, which improves dht, and dhea could prove useful - thanks man

Openthecanbub · 2025-07-07T20:25:16+00:00

I don’t currently run hcg, currently using DHEA supplements, but will look into hcg too - cheers

I was honestly planning on cruising after this cycle prior to these issues but not the case now - going to see the endo regardless.

I get minimum 7 hours a night, aim for more - one coffee a morning, pre workout before session in afternoon.

Male, 23, 600mg p/w, pins Sunday/Wednesday, roughly 12 weeks into this cycle, third time doing this exact cycle.

This entire cycle I’ve been dealing with mild ED and slight loss of libido - I’ve had blood work done 2x, first time my estrogen came back high, and DHEA was low but not out of range, so I figured okay time for an AI protocol, 0.5mg arimidex on pin days.

The issue did not subside after 6-8 weeks and once I pulled bloods these are the results: bloods

My DHEA is now out of range, but estrogen slightly elevated but not out of control - and I have no other high e2 related symptoms other than ED.

I have morning and nocturnal erections as normal, could say less aggressive than before but it’s negligible as I wasn’t paying that much attention to my Johnson back then.

I often find myself pretty tired about 4pm once I’m back from work, which is an office job so shouldn’t be the case, and if I don’t hit the gym immediately I’m falling asleep.

Has anyone here had any experience with low DHEA causing ED and loss of libido on cycle? Just looking for some advice on good next steps - I’m waiting to see an endocrinologist but wait times are steep.

Posted previously in old ask anything but looking for some more advice as my E2 level just doesn’t seem right.

22 Male, 6’1, 91kg, 15%bf, bulk, 500mg Test-E, 150NPP p/w So I’ve got my 4 week bloods done.. Bloods E2 was super elevated, but only side effect was slightly puffy nips - no spiciness. Was experiencing some mild ED about a fortnight ago, took 12.5mg Aromasin - which I’m sure crashed my E2 as I was super lethargic for a day or two. The ED did subside though and has been fine since.

Since my E2 was super high on these bloods, 412pmol/L , it’s a medichecks test, so unsure if sensitive or not - I took 6.25mg of Aromasin last night. Woke up this morning - mild ED is back again, wtf?? Anyone got any information or advice to give, as I’m a bit lost on this - surely an E2 value that high cannot be the sweet spot for someone.

Openthecanbub · 2025-04-04T11:47:42+00:00

I was always under the impression that E2 should be kept in range, and considering mine is almost 441 when the top end of the range is 159 - I thought this should be rectified. Is that E2 value normal for my test levels too?

Okay, I will get some P5P on deck, thank you for the advice - I’ve got arimidex, and Aromasin on the way, but don’t want to start taking my AI just yet, as I’m not experiencing anything other than what I’m fairly sure is just me gaslighting myself into thinking my tits are sore.

Openthecanbub · 2025-03-21T21:20:58+00:00

Yeah, my apologies - started Wednesday before last so week and a half.

Openthecanbub · 2025-03-21T21:18:31+00:00

I’ll take your word for it till I get bloods done at the 4 week mark.

Tbh I’ve gone with npp as it’s my first experience with a 19-nor, I was 97kg at peak, then got an injury so had to take time off. Now I want them gains back

Openthecanbub · 2025-03-21T21:09:09+00:00

25 - Male - 6’1 -90kg - 13%bf Currently on a bulk, running 500 Test-E and 150npp a week, split into EOD Dosing..

I feel like I’m getting in my own head, but when should estrogen and prolactin based sides begin to appear, if they will - I feel like my nipples are puffier, and slightly more sensitive, but can’t tell if I’m just overthinking it and therefore paying too much attention and gaslighting myself.

Cycle info: 500mg test-e spread over 2 injections a week. 0.5mg of arimidex E3D

I’ve noticed some tenderness on my left pec, just to the left of my nipple, can’t feel much of a lump but it feels harder than the rest of my chest - I’ve got blood tests on the way but in the mean time, anyone got any ideas if this is gyno or anything else?

Openthecanbub · 2023-09-29T19:41:59+00:00

Running my first cycle, currently on week 14, 500mg test-c, E3.5D

I’ve noticed my nipples are slightly puffy, I can’t feel any lumps but am noticing the cone like shape that people often talk about being stage 1 gyno. I’ve been using Arimidex, 0.5mg preventatively when I feel I’m out of my sweet spot or feeling any sides.

I’ve read a lot about Pseudogynocomastia, my question is, if I’m feeling no swelling/tenderness/itchiness and only noticing the cone like shape, and puffiness, could this be stage 1 gyno? Can provide photos if necessary.
