What Came 1st The Chicken r the Gyne (finasteride)

[mustang26]

My experience:  Been on propecia for about 1 year.  Have  seen an increase in gyno (I think), BUT i have also put on about 10lbs, so that may very well be the cause.  
On the other hand,  I was going crazy bald, and now i have a full head of hair.  
For me (and i am in the minority on this board), I love propecia.
I have always had some gyn, so it being a little worse isn't a deal breaker to me.  My options were gyn and no hair, or slightly worse gyn and full head of hair.  I chose the second option.  
Good luck.

thanks mustang... thanks dude.... i hope someone can tell me how to post a picture in here to get everyone's opinion before i go really crazy over this.

i was taking 0.83-1 mg of the stuff since my gyne-paranoia kicked it.... i skipped today's dose and probably tomorrow's.. not sure what i will do next... stressing over my decision a lot!

i think the risk of chemical castration and impotence would outweigh both these things...but that's just my opinion...

Mustang made several good points,  among them:

Propecia does not have adverse effects on everyone.

A lot of people come to this site who have had trouble with Propecia.

He made an informed choice between balding and gynecomastia. He did it right!   People who use various drugs are making a choice.  Most should be better informed before making those choices.

Not sure what you wanted me to comment on. I think your chest looks good in some of the photos - particularly the last one -- which doesn't even look like the same chest really. The others look a little big from two of the angles, such as the one here http://xs28.xs.to/pics/05190/Picture9.JPG .

I really don't know what to say because it looks okay from one angle and not from another angle. Sometimes webcam photos can be deceptive if it is shot at a certain angle.

does it look Gyne-y to you? nervous

it's all the same chest, mine... ur right it looks different on each pic, thats why i'm so confused. i dont know if i have gyne or not.  i'm losing a lot of torso weight recently and now i see the gyne-y nipples. i dont know if it's my fat distribution in transition from the weight loss because i have more visible abs and that V-crease by my crotch. or this is GYNE growing.  can you feel the gyne actually growing? i think i can feel it growing all day long.... another thing.. can i go from zero to gyne in 3 months? how long does it take?

[mustang26]

While you may have a small case of gyn, i dont think its anything to worry about.  Your chest looks pretty ripped to me.

thanks .. i've literally been on this website since friday afternoon going nuts thinking i was going to wake up needin a bra.... so thanks for alleviatin some of my worries.

[mustang26]

haha.....no bra needed.........just remember, you are probably your own worst critic.  Im sure the situation seems significantly worse to you then to anyone else.

Puffy nips and a real mild case at that.  It's the kind of thing that you could fix or not fix depending on your means, but I really don't think it's the kind of thing to develop a lot of anxiety about.  I don't think very many folks would ever notice.

[boobhater22]

I think it looks fine. I wouldn't worry about it!!!
