First cycle - some help with bloods please

[Skippy the kangaroo]

Hi team,

A quick introduction, I’m new to the forum but I’ve been lurking a while. My stats are as follows;
5’10” - 84kg (185lbs) - 29 years old - 11.3% bf
I am currently on my first cycle, I am running the following;
500mg test e e3.5d week 1-15
Arimidex 0.5mg e3.5d week 2-15
Novaldex week 17-21
Hcg 500iu per week throughout the cycle

I’ve gotten my bloods done after my 3rd pin (start of week two) prior to starting my AI which I just started today (week 2 day 2). Would appreciate some help dialing in my dose and what your thoughts are on the bloods. Sides are minimal at this stage though felt like I had high blood pressure and flushed prior to starting AI.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks,

Skippy the kangaroo

Still zero side effects. Not even oily skin. Is that normal?

Would you prefer side effects?

Nah man I’m good as is. Just interesting as I assumed AI was a necessity prior to starting but it’s nice that I can reevaluate that

Someone remarked the more side effects you have, the more your body is responding to the steroid. Is there any truth to that? Say if you don't have any side effects, you may not be a good responder?
