First cycle protocol:
500mg Test/week and 1000iu HCG- 250mg/500iu Thursday night, 250mg/500iu Sunday night
Timeline: December 17th-February 2nd
Ancillaries:
Cialis 10mg EOD
Kratom 3-4 grams about every day. sometimes 6-8 grams if twice in a day.
Medications:
Bupropion 300mg every morning
No AI’s used. Took one tablet of arimidex in the beginning thought maybe i had some strange feeling in my left nipple. But seemed mostly psychological and not worth taking any more AIs for.
I did have a little bit of erectile dysfunction in the beginning. Maybe more psychological than physical. Like a disconnected feeling. Even with the Cialis. Which I just started taking a month before all this mostly for fun. It seems to actually help with depression a bit as well. And it seriously works. This is why I am sure it was the test. But that seems to have gone away and my sex drive is good now.
I also, got sick the week or two before this test and was mostly really congested. After the test I dropped my dose down to 250mg for a week because I thought maybe the testosterone was causing some congestion. Anyone else experience this? Or was it just a cold or flu? Test flu? Some people from work got sick too though. Anyway, it was already going away but I kept going to the gym and it would come back so I just took about a week off from the gym and dropped to my dose to 250 and now it seems to be gone. Though I still get minor congestion but nothing to unusual.
Didn’t notice too much difference in gym performance or appearance or feeling. Maybe just a placebo of strength and energy when I first took it. Seems that I am breaking plateaus in strength but nothing too unexpected. Diet has been cleaned up tremendously so not gaining as much fat on a bulk. I think i’m actually leaning out as I gain weight. The test may be helping with all of this stuff but it’s hard to really tell how much.
My estradiol is super high. Is this normal with the test levels I have? Previously I always tested between testosterone 300-500 ng/dL. Estradiol around 30.
I have slight pinkish reddish color to my face. Other people noticed it before I did. But I should probably donate blood like all you people say to do. Still waiting on IGF-1 results but I wasn’t taking HGH or anything.
I am since this test taking 50mg of Anavar and 2iu of HGH along with the 500 test. I wanna see how that goes and maybe up the test to 750mg. But it seems it will be about time for a break soon. Anavar might be making it hard to sleep. Gonna try taking it in the morning. I also seem less hungry. Not as much appetite for sure. Like eating seems like doing an errand or something. I seem to notice more in the gym than with just the test though. Not sure I notice the HGH much. Maybe faster recovery for my joints.
That’s about it. Not sure how far I will go with all of this but I plan to just cruise on a TRT dose in another 4-6 weeks.
