27 yr old natural BB considering first cycle.

...my GP agrees that rather than wait possibly several more months just to consult with the urologist, I should privately pursue my own healthcare while keeping her and my eventual urologist informed of all my doings.

- Can I shoot in the glutes exclusively?
I really would prefer not to inject anywhere else.
- Cypionate or Enthanate or both?
- 500, 800, 1000MG per week? Less to start with on my first cycle I'm guessing..
- Nolvadex and Arimadex for on cycle and pct? From what I've read these two should carry me through most of my troubles.
I might honestly blast and cruise in low doses for the rest of my life if it keeps my testicles atrophied. My wife and I already have two kids so I'm not too concerned about fertility, just the grind of being beholden to a hormone bottle for my health and happiness. Regardless I want to start with a simple cycle and find out two things:

A. Does the epididymitis improve with the use of steroidal injections?
B. Does the epididymitis return after going off-cycle?

You are either inadvertently or deliberately obfuscating several issues here.

If the overwhelmingly common cause of epididymitis, infection, has been ruled out, then I doubt you've been formally diagnosed with chronic epididymitis. How do you know it's not testicular torsion? And without knowing the cause, where have you seen published that androgen therapy is an appropriate treatment? Because it isn't, so don't confuse these issues.

Depending on the specific assay, your T level is not below normal. It's on the lower side of the normal range. However, if you start exogenous androgen administration, understand that your basal T will drop below normal. And you will be on TRT for life.

I'm positive that your GP did not condone, in any way, that you self-administer steroids for either of the above issues.

However, since it sounds like you're going to do this against any medical advice you do receive:
-You can inject into glutes exclusively, but self-injections are much easier in the Vastus Lateralis.
-Mixing esters in this application is unnecessary and complicates half life calculations. Enthanate has a shorter half life and will clear more quickly, and more active hormone per mg.
-500mg/w is plenty. 800+ is too much.
-Common wisdom here is to use an AI on cycle to control estrogen, without adding a SERM like Nolvadex. Continue the AI through washout, then PCT with a SERM. I prefer the non-reversible steroidal AI Aromasin and the SERM Nolvadex.

To reiterate:
A. No
B. Yes

I've decided I'm not going to do injections to relieve my epididymitis (Yall can take a breath at this point) My health is my number one concern and this seems like this would serve only to complicate matters.
Im grateful for all for all the (non-hateful) advice guys, I'll continue to push myself despite the pain, smoke a lil extra weed and continue to wait for a call from a urologist.

P.S. No its not torsion I've been checked multiple times.

P.P.S. Here's a natty bicep pic for all the haters.20170303_083719.jpg

Glad to hear it. Good luck!
