Hi all,
Trainer designed this cycle for me. I would get fever every time when I inject. Needles are sterile. Good injection technique. Gear is good, sourced from opti. Bloodwork was good before starting, no inflammation, have done 3 months of 200mg per week pharma trt in the past.
But this cycle doesn't seem to be working. I ran this for 3 weeks thinking it would go away but had to stop because normal life stuff was getting in the way of annoying fever everyday.
Any thoughts?
Regarding the fever, agree you should try injecting compounds separately to isolate the culprit. It's highly unusual for MCT oil to cause system reactions.
Regarding the cycle...
1. Why is this trainer giving you a SERM + AI for 150-200mg ea test P and Primo, not to mention two 5a-reduced orals - proviron/anavar ? If it were MENT, I would understand. Primo, proviron, and anavar all bind very strongly to SHBG which will increase free T. That with partially blocked aromatase pathway will increase DHT levels in tissues that have high expression of 5a-reductase, ie skin appendages like hair follicles and sebaceous glands, and prostate. So expect very oily skin, hair loss, and prostate enlargement. The anastrozole itself may be appropriate if you aromatize heavily, although personally I think aromasin is a far better choice ~ 12.5mg in lieu of 0.5mg anastrozole; adding the tamoxifen just seems to be adding unnecessary risk for blood clots.
2. Why is this trainer giving you test prop to use with EOD injection? That gives wild swings in T levels (see attached plot), with far greater range and duration than natural diurnal variability. If prop was used to be able to rapidly adjust the dose okay, but daily injections are the way to go. I'd have used cypionate or enanthate for EOD use, matching the primo.
3. Why primo at this point in time? It's terribly overpriced and fake/mislabelled product is on the market. One of my friends got some bad (non-) primo from a former source at SSL, we suspect it was EQ + tren, and a source at ASF just got busted for selling bad PrimoE200 (Jano tested primo 120 + testC 65) and MastE (Jano tested mastP 120 + test E 111). Not something I'd be concerned about with Opti, but it's not the best time to be have to buy these compounds. Most honest sources including Opti are OOS, and those honest ones that have inventory are charging dearly for it. It's a good compound but an attenuated androgen there are other options. For the cycle your trainer designed, I'd have chosen either TestP + MastP (readily available) at 25mg/day or TestE/C 25mg + MastE 25mg or DHB 12.5mg EOD (if mastE unavailable).
Anyway, long reply you probably weren't wanting but food for thought.
