I’ve been off cycle for about 4 weeks now.
Time for a little recap:
My cycle lasted 12 weeks. I’ve gained 20 lbs, not much fat, some water retention, good amount of muscle mass and a lot of strength. Here are the compounds I took:
-D-Bol
-30 mg ED
-Initially, I was supposed to take it for 4 weeks, but had to stop after 3 weeks because of gyno issues.
-Testosterone Cypionate:
-Week 1 - 12: 250 mg x 2 per week.
-Trenbolone Enanthate
-Week 8 - 9: 100 mg EW
-Week 10 - 12: 100 mg x 2 per week.

D-bol: Although it is often recommended for beginners, I learned the hard way that you still need to be very careful with that compound. I was planning to take it for 4 weeks to kick start my cycle but had to stop after 3 weeks because my gyno got out of control like I wrote. Fortunately, as soon I stopped taking it, my nipple sensitivity went away. That’s why I know for a fact that D-bol is what caused my gyno, not the testosterone. I took 1 mg of Anastrazole ED to fight the gyno. Some members on the forum told me I’d feel like dogshit but I’m glad I still did it because my nipple sensitivity went away a few days later and I still felt good afterwards. I will never do D-bol again though. On top of having a high aromatization, it didn’t give me the strength gains I was expecting… Trenbolone did though! More on that later…
Testosterone Cypionate: This time, I know I got the real deal. When I got tested before jumping on gear, my level was at 17 nmol/L. Then, I did a cycle with some testosterone from Mexico (Omega) and got tested towards the end of my cycle. My test level was at 21.5 nmol/L which is still low considering I was taking 500mg of test weekly. During this cycle though, my level was at 51 nmol/L. It started to kick in after about 4 weeks. My libido went up and so did my strength.
Trenbolone Enanthate: Ah the infamous Tren! Whenever I said I would jump on Tren, I’ve been called all kinds of name. What’s funny is that I suspect that most of the people who criticized me have never even tried Tren and are just regurgitating whatever they read on internet. It seems like if you decide not to follow the general guidelines, in this case doing a testosterone only cycle since I was a beginner, you get crucified. I don’t believe in following the same path as everybody. I believe in doing some research, listening to others, but in the end, taking my own decision. I like to think for myself. That’s what I did. I have been told I would have some crazy mood swings, insomnia, huge sweats, and Tren cough. I never experienced those crazy mood swings. I did notice an increase in aggressivity, but it was controllable and actually good in the gym. If you are not a jerk when off gear, I don’t believe you suddenly become a complete jerk when on gear. Same thing goes for alcohol. I did have some trouble falling asleep on a few occasions but nothing serious. I did sweat more but nothing crazy. I did not have any Tren cough. I’ve had some weird sudden very kinky sexual desires at times. Unfortunately, I must say that the quality of my erections went down. On the positive side, my strength dramatically increased without much water retention. I hit several new PRs. I felt like superman. Overall, my experience with Tren was positive. I was looking for good strength gains without too much water retention and I got it. Bottom line is, everybody reacts differently to drugs. The only way to know for sure how you will react is to try it. I do agree that generally speaking, it is best to wait until you have a few cycles in before jumping on Tren, but it is not set in stone. There are many factors to take into account. In my case, I’m not planning to do many cycles, I didn’t want to take baby steps, and I had good quality Trenbolone available.
My blood pressure is till below 220/80. The cycle did have a negative impact on my cholesterol though, but nothing alarming. My LDL-CHOLESTEROL is at 4.3 mmol/L and my HDL-CHOLESTEROL is at 0.6 mmol/L. The good news is that my Triglycerides are at 0.9 mmol/L, which is still low. What surprised me is that my red blood cells and my hemoglobin haven’t changed much. They are still in the normal range. I was expecting that steroids would increase them but it didn’t. That’s probably why my blood pressure hasn’t changed much…
Unfortunately, although all the sensitivity was gone, I still had a lump the size of a raisin on my right nipple at the end of my cycle that I got from the D-Bol. I did 2.5 mg ED of Letrozole for a little more than 2 weeks. Some might say this was way too much Letrozole, but I did get rid of my lump. So yes, gyno is reversible. I obviously got tired because my estrogen level probably got very low, but it wasn’t that bad. Now, I just need to watch for a estrogen rebound effect, since my body will want to increase the production of estrogen to raise my level back up. I will get another blood work to monitor my estrogen levels. My testicules haven’t lost much size though so I don’t think I will need much more for my PCT.
In conclusion, despite my gyno issues, I am still happy with this cycle. I’ve learned a lot through personal experience. This is worth much more than hours reading on Internet about steroids. Hopefully, some of you will benefit from my real life experience
