Looking for first cycle advice, 25-year-old male

[Nishka]

Hey guys,

I have been lurking the forum and reading around a lot so I would like to introduce myself. I'm a 25-year-old guy, I have done a ton of research
I really want to start testosterone but I have a couple of problems

I live in BC and getting blood work in Canada without getting it on your insurance while being in BC seems impossible

My plan is to just pin every day or every other day test C and start with something low like 120 mg and then titrate up from there until I'm at 200 mg or a little bit lower

I am 12-13% body fat so I am cutting right now just to get it at 10% so I can do a nice bulk

I have an aromatase inhibitor on hand
Do you think I can do it without blood work? Because I cannot get blood work it seems
Also gonna be taking 0.5 grams of dutasteride and I've already been on low-dose Accutane.

Anyone have any advice for what can I do for blood work? I have been looking around the forum and couldn't find anything for BC, Canada.

Thank you so much!

You need to measure your own test production previous to a cycle. Btw 120-200mg is not a cycle dose, just high dose TRT.

Duta 0.5mg not grams. I think you do not need that for just a cycle. You do not want erectile/ libido sides from it.
(tabs you can split, caps not)

yeah i just want to do high dose trt max dont want to deal with too many sides.
i think with high dose trt i can gain 5-10 pounds of muscle? which will be ideal for me ( i already work out)
the biggest thing for me is the bloodwork

Really need bloodwork. My try is 60mg and that puts me in the higher range of normal, I pin once a week. Different dosages have different affect on different people. Find a way to get bloodwork.

advanced blood work is advised. At least you need oestradiol and total test

Get blood work brother! It’s not just test and e2, but kidneys, liver, heart and lipids among other things that are very important.

If you can’t afford blood work or insurance you can’t afford the gear because it is 100% a prerequisite and will be required while you are on cycle b&cing or coming off.

The idea for how to do the cycle sounds fine. Working up from trt sounds good, but you also should get blood during to see where the hormones put you.

Anyone have any idea on how I can get blood work? I live in Vancouver BC. I heard I could go through a natural path clinic it’s quite expensive though I do not have a family doctor so maybe if I go to a walk-in medical clinic they would give me blood work?

I’m in BC too, you’re right blood work is tough to get…. Fucking pain in my ass.

I would suggest going to a naturopath doctor, you can buy specific blood tests from them. They aren’t that expensive when it comes to the cost of steroids
But they are expensive compared to Americans yah…. God damn BC health care system

Because naturopaths aren’t covered under MSP they’re usually less likely to ask, about why, but you can bullshit them a little bit, and either say you’re just getting a baseline or you’re really curious
Or whatever you want to say really.

You should be able to get all your other bloodwork for free though a walk in clinic, or an online clinic Avee health online is good for that.

Edit: you could try asking some of the online doctors to test your hormones, just use the zero libido reason and no strength

Tho in my experience they always tell to get therapy instead and it pisses me off ..
Try to get a male doctor not female

Don't go playing games with your blood while not being able to monitor your blood.

There are people in Canada that that do this

Learn how they are getting bloodwork done
