Bad idea.  The endocrine (hormonal) system is extremely complex, sensitive and variable.  Even experienced doctors, with periodic blood tests on their patients, have difficulty maintaining their patient's hormones properly.  A person who treats himself with hormones is asking for trouble.  In your case, it will probably make your puffy nips worse -- no way will it make them better.

If you can deal with your puffy nips as they are now (perhaps by wearing a compression garment), then I would definitely avoid doing any additional cycles -- otherwise surgery may become your only option.

I recently had surgery due to gyne partially caused by steroids... Dont take the sauce, please... I am paying the price for stuff I did 10 years ago.  Not only did I have to pay 5000 dollars for surgery, I also have low testosterone and on test therapy for the rest of my life due to a tumor that was found on my pituitary gland. 

So you might be thinking of the short term side effects like gyno, but think about long term side effects, like liver and kidney damage and any organ or gland that part of your endocrine system... 

Steroids are a temporary result, once you are off most of the gains go away but potentially have longterm side effects... 

Just think about your future...  I was young and didnt think about the side effects.. Now im 34 and dealing with them....

You now have the professional opinion of a good Doctor and the voice of experience from someone who has been where you are wanting to go.

Recognizing their wisdom, I can add nothing.
