Hey guys. I just joined. I've been looking for a place to post some questions and have them answered by people who know what they are talking about. I hope you guys can help me out. Here we go: I've taken Andro before and it worked pretty well with out any side effects, but recently I did a pro-hormone stack for 12 weeks, and I think I might have some side effects. Maybe I'm imagining it, but I think my nuts have shrunk. The thing is sometimes they are almost invisible (worse than in the ocean on a cold day) and other times they seem fine. I'm seriously not sure if I'm just imagining it, though. My testosterone levels seem to be normal (no gyno and regular sex drive... that means my testosterone level is fine, doesn't it? I'm not sure). Can a person experience shrinkage like that and still have a normal testosterone level? Am I just imagining it? Please let me know. And if there is some supplement to help me fix the problem, could you let me know that too. by-the-way, I've decided against using pro-hormones again. Thanks in advance.

I think the best advice here is to stop using them. I have never been a fan of prohormones, and never will be. Many side effects that at first are not evident can become big concerns. Some folks they do nothing too. YOu may not be one of the lucky ones, but why push the envelope? Remember, health should always be your number one concern in this endeavor we undertake, training and proper diet, with everything else secondary. Be smart.

Thanks. Yeah, I haven't used them for a couple months and I don't plan on using pro-hormones again. But what's passed is passed. Any advise on what to do now? Do you think I'm imagining the side effects, what can I do about them?

Unforunally if they have shrunk, its a lil too late. Just because you have not seen side effects on the outside, didn't mean somthing was going on internallly. your testicles shrank cause the prohormons made you body think you had ample supply of testasterone. So there fore your testicles( they produce it along with many others) to say "hay we don't need to make as much". So they shrink. all you can do is learn from the past and you might want to go get your prostate examened, cause prohormons are known to enlarge it ( not a good thing)

Thanks Andrew. I think I'm just imagining it, because they are normal size but just seem to shrink up more than normal when cold. But, anyway, enough with that. Do you think I might have low testosterone now that I'm off of the pro-hormones? How can I tell? If I had low testosterone would I get gynomastia for sure? I really think I'm just over reacting, but I had to make sure. Thanks.

I echo what ioioio said and add the following. I have a general rule that I go by and it is this-If something seems/appears wrong with my pecker, nuts, or a-hole, I seek professional help. Think about it. Of course, this is my personal rule and may not work for everyone. Good Luck
