I can deal with shiny, but I'm scared of some sort of extreme breakout lol.Awesome!! That’s exciting! Are you going to start a log? I’d love to see your progress.
I have oily skin too. It definitely got a lot worse on var. I’ve kind of just accepted it. My forehead is shiny and gross. Meh. [emoji58]
Good luck on your cycle!! [emoji1320]

I will likely run a log. I've been creeping on this site for over a year, so it seems only fair. Lol.
I too have oily skin, and started var a couple weeks ago and have noticed oiler skin. Similar to when I'm on 500mg of testosterone. Sucks. Also breakouts on my shoulder area.
I got one of those huge under the skin pimples last week. You know the kind you can't just pop. Frustrating. I blame it on the var. I'm on a low dose too, ~40mg daily. Anyway I learned a new trick for how to get those cystic, under the skin pimples to form a head and become popable. These special bandaids made for blisters, they draw fluid out. Put one of those suckers on it over night. Wake up. Pop that sucker. So satisfying.
I just realized how much of a dork I sound like talking about pimples.

Such a shitty workout. I feel exhausted. My left knee hurts like shit still. My lower back is still hurting. My mood is shit. I had zero motivation. I hate days like this.

I've made a decision to begin my taper early. I dropped my morning dose to 5 and will take 10 in the afternoon before I workout. I think that my body is ready for a break. I've noticed that I feel less motivated to train and more sluggish. It was suggested to me to only run an 8 week cycle, but I'm hard headed. I pushed it to 10 weeks and I think 8 would have been plenty. I'm on week 9 now and will be tapering off the rest of this week and next.
Sides: Same, except for an increase in irritability. My mood is just fucked. My tolerance has dwindled to nothing. Zero patience. Short tempered as hell. This has been progressive. I think that being tired has contributed. My knee and lower back pain doesn't help my mood either. I'm not sure about training today. I'm considering yet another rest day due to the pain. I'm sad because I don't think I'll be able to squat this week. I don't want to risk making it any worse. I'll update more on Monday and will take some photos soon. Have a great weekend, all!!

Happy Halloween Guys!!
I'm feeling pretty good today. I needed those 2 back to back rest days. My lower back and knees are still hurting a bit. I decided to do low weight, high rep squats on leg day. My lower back definitely appreciated it. Knees, not so much. My mood is better. It really messes me up that I don't have a period but sill experience pms. I'll be in the worst mood and hateful as hell and suddenly realize that it's that time. I do think that some of my irritability is a side effect of the var since I've kind of been on edge the whole time.
My cycle is coming to an end. It's crazy how fast it flew by. All in all, I am very pleased with my first experience with anavar. I think I tolerated it very well. Sides have been minimal. The saddest being that my breasts have left my body. [emoji17] I wasn't working with much before, but wow. They are gone. I plan to have breast augmentation at some point in the near future.
I have 5 days left of this cycle. I'm down to 10mg a day. I'll be dropping to 5 mg for the last couple of days. I'm definitely ready to give my body a break but excited for my next cycle too. I'm undecided about what to run next. I plan on starting HGH soon. I love what anavar can do but I'm not sure I want to run another oral cycle just yet. I want to give my liver a break. I'm thinking about running primo. Any suggestions? I plan to continue my caloric surplus for several more months and pack on as much muscle as I can. What is a good female cycle for bulking?
Edit: judging by her logs, anavar and npp were her best bulkers.
That’s correct. Npp and var. I guess I should have somewhere mentioned too that fertility is not an issue for me (anymore). I have no insight into lost or regained cycles. I’m 50 and haven’t had one since I was 47.
