Newbie female AAS user

Hi I’m new here. Here’s a bit about me:
24 year old female who began lifting at 16 but got serious about it closer to 20. Right now we’re in lockdown where I’m at so I don’t have access to a gym meaning I’m a little fluffier and weaker than I would otherwise be but when I was going to the gym I was hanging out at 5’4” and 130lbs with a solid muscle base. I cant heavy squat because of my knees but I was at 225lbs for reps of 6-8 on dead lifts and sumo dead lifts, 315lbs for reps of 10-12 on hip thrusts and 600lbs for reps of 12-15 for leg press.
I’m not competing, simply lifting and bodybuilding as a hobby/obsession. My goal in terms of physique is looking like somewhere in between a bikini competitor and wellness competitor.
Currently my main experience has been with SARMs which I only started at 22. I stacked Ostarine 15mg and cardarine 15mg for 8 week cycles with 8 week breaks about a handful of times.
Most recently, I did an 8 week cycle of Anavar with 5mg in the morning and 5mg at night (so 10mg total daily for 8 weeks). During the first 2 weeks I was taking ephedrine for appetite suppression and weight loss support so because I had Helios (albuterol, caffeine and yohimbe) in my hands but I didn’t want to take that without being kick started on getting leaner. I took 2 weeks off the ephedrine then did 3 weeks of the Helios. During my 8 week Anavar cycle I was also running the 8 weeks of Ostarine 15mg and cardarine 15mg.
Overall I saw pretty solid gains from that cycle and definitely got leaner. Felt stronger almost immediately from the Anavar and the Helios did wonders for appetite suppression. Minute negative side effects from the cycle overall. Acne was definitely notable and got worse coming off before it got better. Was mostly bummed to see my strength decrease a bit once I did come off the Var. But that’s me and my experience with anabolic so far. Comments, tips or other relatively female-safe anabolics recommendations would be greatly appreciated a! I have no issues with injectables by the way, and have an order of primo coming in that I’m looking to run next. I’m also exploring turinabol.
I'd be interested in hearing more about how primo treats you when you run it. We have very few females posting experiences here.

I plan on tracking progress pretty closely and keeping a little journal of my experience. I’ll definitely be posting something here when I consolidate all the info after running it:)
 
I seriously can’t tell if you’re serious

That is actually a thing some guys swear by... I tried it on my first cycle but it didn't do much for me.

Black African soap helped a little bit and so did Dr Bronner Tea Tree Soap... But the only thing that really got it under control was accutane. Acne pretty much became something to no longer worry about after doing a full course of it.

I’m going to try to exhaust all other options before accurate. That’s one less substance to introduce to put strain in my body internally. But I’m sure it was very helpful

Yeah, I guess that was kind of my point... I would not recommend it unless literally nothing else touches it.
 
Regarding recommendations on compounds to use in women, I am not really in a position to recommend anything for them or even gentlemen, but since Bill Roberts has been mentioned, I would like to include in the discussion Victor Black´s video where he exposes, with many details, why he believes that the most friendly compound for women is Testosterone in low doses. What you, girls that have used it, think about?

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve never seen victor black’s channel before but that was definitely an interesting take on female AAS use. Very in depth and explained extremely well. Gives me a lot to consider
 
3 mg a week? So 1.5 mg twice a week? Using the normal concentration of testosterone enanthate, that would be 0.6 clicks on the tiniest of insulin syringes . . . this is like the excess error amount in the needle.

How would you possibly dose this amount?
My wife was looking into testosterone (never went through with it, at least not yet) and the endo was talking about having a deodorant stick like thing that women can use. Just 2-3 clicks per day apparently. Since she didn’t go through with it idk what it looks like or how it’s used exactly. But apparently this is one way of getting ultra low dose test

You could add 20 ml of sterile oil, then the concentration would be diluted and amount of oil per shot would increase obviously

Some labs produce in concentrations of 10 mg/mL, else it's indeed pretty much impossible to dose that low. Unless, as Logan mentions, you dilute it further yourself, which I can easily see going wrong by contaminating it in a non-negligible number of cases.

Having said that, 3 mg weekly has little to do with gaining muscle if that's your goal as a woman. While it will put your testosterone a bit above what's normally seen in healthy, menstruating, women, it's of little help for gaining muscle.

As known, testosterone is very potent for muscle-building given in the right dosages. Give hypogonadal men TRT and you'll see increases in LBM and strength. Give eugonadal men gradually increasing dosages of testosterone in the supraphysiological range, and you'll see gradually greater increases in LBM and strength.

However, if you give women with low testosterone, as seen in menopause, 3 mg of testosterone weekly (which puts them above normal levels), you don't see any of this yet. Quite in fact, you don't start to see any changes in strength or LBM unless you go beyond 12.5 mg weekly:

The threshold is just relatively higher.

A standard treatment/prevention protocol for acne that I would advice is zinc (up to 40 mg daily), vitamin D (>1000 IU daily), omega 3 fatty acids (1 g EPA, 1 g DHA daily), and either application of benzoyl peroxide cream (2.5-5%) or a topical retinoid (adapalene 0.3%) every other day on the affected areas. Benzoyl peroxide has a bleaching effect on textile, so probably most convenient to stick to a retinoid. If all else fails, isotretinoin (roaccutane) works massively well. Even dosages as low as 10 mg daily or every other day can lead to good results, with little side effects.

I wonder if this changes in women who have not yet begun menopause though...

All things equal, I would guess you're actually more likely to observe body composition changes in an intervention like this with women having a low testosterone vs women with a cycle and normal testosterone (thus also assuming the same age). Granted, at older age you do see somewhat of a gradual increase in anabolic resistance, so the "all things equal" isn't precisely fair, because they were on average in their early 50's in this trial. But at least in men older age (60-75 years old) doesn't appear to affect the muscle-building effect of testosterone:

That’s totally fair, I think I’d tend to agree with that logic. Thank you for attaching theses studies. I look forward to browsing them when I can
