Low dose tren for 14 weeks - is that too long?

[BatmanVAR]

I tapered up from 10mg on a TRA 8 week Tren stint. Killed my lipids as well. Pita or Prava, Ezetimibe, Citrus Berg, Fish and oil and cruise after should fix it. Yeah the bloods right before would of been money. How "bad" is the cholesterol? Yeah EQ prior could of contributed.

Total cholesterol: 97
HDL: 23
LDL: 63
Triglycerides: 44

LDL and triglycerides are great, the issue is HDL and total. My HDL has always been lower than normal (highest it's ever been was 42 even before PEDs and when diet and supplements were perfect) so I started at a disadvantage anyway.

Ever ran your apoB? Yeah to be tanked only 9 days on the Tren would assume using mutliple compounds would be the factor. Sorry if I missed but what support Rx are you running?

 

[BatmanVAR]

I only recently heard about apoB so I'll do it at my next check in 4 weeks.

12/1 I went from a TRT cruise level 180mg of Test C a week to 500mg a week which started my blast. I also ran 50mg of Anavar a day the first 4 weeks

12/28 I stopped the Anavar and added 250mg of EQ a week

1/15 I added 20mg of Tren Ace a day (140mg a week)

Yeah I know, I did not properly plan this cycle and I shouldn't have added things in mid cycle. Lesson learned for next time.

I think the Var and Tren tanked your good cholesterol from my own personal exp.

I ran Var 50mg extended and my good was tanked. Tren tanked as well. With the Var, Eq, then Tren probably it. Keep an eye on it, throw the standard interventions at it and do serial labs.

Yeah I know the var tanked the HDL from 42 to 28, because I got labs when I ended it, but my total was unchanged then. I think I didn't give it enough time to recover before I added EQ and Tren which further lowered HDL and then made my total drop as well.

I've got a plan I'll run for 4 weeks and see if it's any better, but I suspect it's going to remain in the toilet until the cycle ends and I go back to cruise dosages of Test C only.

Follow up. Currently on week 3 of 100mg tren E (after spending the previous 7 weeks titrating up from 20 mg). Got some labs back today.

Prolactin 16.3 (up from 12.7)
eGFR 87 (down from 91)
RDW 16.1 (up from 15)
Cystatin-C 0.90 mg/L
Cholesterol, Total 114 mg/dL
CRP - 6.62 (this has been high for a while, this is actually lower than last time so I wouldn't attribute this to tren. I was dealing with an infection and I'm on high dose Accutane (120mg/day))
Triglycerides 40 mg/dL
HDL Cholesterol 28
VLDL Cholesterol Cal 10 mg/dL
LDL Chol Calc (NIH) 76
LP(a) 18.1
ApoB 71

Bunch of crap unlikely to be related to tren but ask if there's something you wanna see. If I didn't get it I'll make sure to grab it next time.

Not too shabby eh? Final verdict: Risk < Reward. Will check again next month and see if we're still trending in the right direction.
