Female Midcycle Bloods Review

[Suprachica79]

Hi all,

32 y/o female on week 5 of anadrol. Dosing is as follows -

week 1-3 - 12.5mg daily split am/pm
Week 4 - 20mg split am/pm
Week 5 - 25mg split am/pm

The below bloods were pulled at end of week 4 and I want some advice on how to proceed. The plan was to do at least a 6-week cycle if not push it to 8, but with these results I’m not sure if I should continue. For reference, all my baseline bloods were within range with the exception of ALT was a couple points above reference range. I’ve never seen my ALT/AST this elevated, nor have my lipids ever been less than stellar.

Bottom line - am I over reacting to consider stopping or is this normal while on cycle and fine to continue? Currently taking 600mg NAC Three times daily for liver support and don’t know if it is helping or hurting. This is for lifestyle and not competition so more concerned with long term health than whatever gains anadrol may be contributing. Thanks guys!

Not familiar with female blood work personally. I also don't have blood work while on an oral. I am curious how you are liking the anadrol? Have you taken other compounds before?

 

[Suprachica79]

Generally liking it - I honestly have not noticed a single side effect and believe it’s definitely aiding in some muscle growth and strength increases for sure. However, this is my first time intentionally eating at a surplus for training purposes and hypertrophy so it is difficult for me to discern what is doing what.

I have previously done an 8-week Anavar cycle at 10mg split am/pm and also really liked that cycle as my first try at AAS supplementation. Eating at a deficit; made some modest physique improvements on it.

IMNMO (in my non-medical opinion) Stop the anadrol, your liver is not liking it at all and you don't want this going to cholestatis. All orals will tank HDL, 29 is still not too bad, just 10 mg of winny or var in some women will take their HDL < 20, but short term, really not a concern esp with normal LDL, in fact we really don't know what having a lower HDL bc of androgens means relative to CAD risk. Now the ALT, that's > 5x UNL and more liver specific than AST. Not worth the risk.

I dont know much about females and gear.
But what I can say is....
Some of us respond well to Orals, some dont.

I cant even run Anavar at 40mg for more than 4 weeks without feeling like shit and having issues.

What’s wild is I feel great - strength gains and hypertrophy are good and I have not felt any negative side effects at all yet. More energy overall. By the end of my Anavar cycle I could tell it was time to end it - lethargic by mid afternoon, joints and tendons starting to get achy. No bloods during that cycle so not sure what I looked like clinically, but I feel good overall right now.

I wouldn't, as a male push anadrol past 4 weeks, 5 would be the top end for me!

Anything 5X normal for liver values are a real concern. If you are training VERY hard I would take this into consideration as well.






High liver values drop off pretty quickly when you stop so permanent "damage " isn't a concern for 99 percent of people.

Anadrol is pretty harsh. You mentioned your health is important to you long term. Don't worry you probably have plenty other cycles to come lol!

I didn't even see you tag me for some reason...

I definitely am training intensely and I should note that I was on vacation for 5 days prior to the bloods being drawn (got back on Sunday evening and bloods drawn the following Friday) I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy several adult beverages which might have played a hand in my liver values as well. I think I’ll finish the week out and then d/c for a 5-week total, finish my 8-week bulk and then maintain for a month to reset for my summer cut. Next up - Primo!

 

[Human_backhoe]

Next up - Primo!

My wife just had to cut her primo cycle...... The sides got too much and unacceptable. Start low lol.

[Human_backhoe]

[TrennedOutLunatic]

Damn - I’ll be doing ace and will certainly be starting low - can I ask what sides she had?

 

[Human_backhoe]

Enanthate yes?

Yes enanthate.

 

[Human_backhoe]

Damn - I’ll be doing ace and will certainly be starting low - can I ask what sides she had?

Clitoral enlargement. Doubled its size and then a bit...in only 3.5 weeks. Everything is back to normal now after she made the correct call to cut it

Lol it was also WAY to sensitive!!!!!! Walking was a problem. It was not enjoyable for her.

Well that would be a deal breaker for me as well - totally not worth it. I’m doing this for lifestyle enhancement and self development - if I can’t walk without discomfort then wtf am I doing lol. Hopefully I will not encounter the same issues - so far I have run an 8-week cycle of Anavar and finishing up a 5-week cycle of Anadrol at modest dosages with my only noticeable sides of slight irritability and possibly very slight clitoral growth. So far, I think I would be considered a good to great responder so let’s hope that continues:

Everyone is different. You may have absolutely no problems at all. She had no problems with anavar at all. You will probably have no issues with Primobolan.
