First Cycle: All You Need to Know

[ron1204]

if i were you id stop immediately and start a good PCT, i think you haven't been on it long and if your body was working fine before you should be able to get back to it fairly quickly.

Since it was only like a week and a half you'd PROBABLY be ok without, but a pct isn't gonna hurt if you can get it quick. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you didn't have it on hand before starting.

Why are we boggling up a stickie? For future reference please start a new thread with your questions

I am in the first week of my first cycle and have tolerated 40 mg Dbol and Test E well so far. I took my first prophylactic dose of Anastrozole 0.5 mg and felt odd right after. It felt I had fullness in my throat , No itching or other signs of an allergic reaction but I got concerned and took some benadryl (12.5 mg) . The symptoms lasted an hour and then subsided. Has anyone experienced anything like this ? I know there is a debate of using AI prophylactically vs PRN but after reading about Anastrozole it seems like this is a really powerful drug.
With my experience today I have three options:
1. Not using AI unless I develop signs of gyno -nipple itchiness, irrtiation, lump etc and if that does happen then either end the cycle and PCT or try another AI?
2. Try 0.25 every 3 days. It will be difficult to split the pill into 4 quarters but can try.
3. Try the same does with small dose of benadryl to be on the safe side.
Is it common to get estrogen side effects if not on AI? Your input would be appreciated.

Disregard the above. I started a thread with the same question.

I would have went with option one from the start. Not everyone gets gyno or estro sides, everyone is different. You may not need anything

awesome write up. (im replying because i cant figure out how to save the thread and want to be able to find it again)

I remember my first cycle I listened to the guy selling it to me instead of researching like a bafoon, he had me on Sust Deca and Dbol. When I asked about PCT he said just dont come off thats what most people do. Needless to say I royally ****ed myself up for a long time estrogen was through the roof I am guessing coundnt get hard and when I did couldnt cum no matter what. Posts like this are where every Newbie should start. My body bounced back on its own but I bet it was a year of viagra and misery if i remember rightly

So i know this is an old ass thread, ive read it several times though, it seems now the current thought process is to run test only as a first cycle, this thread talks about running test/dbol as a first cycle.
Has there been a change in thinking or just new info since this was originally posted has come out. Or is it all just a matter of preference?

My stance has always been the same. I've not been a great fan of this stickie for the reason of adding the oral. test only has always been my recommendation

Seeker is a pussy tho. Dbol is the greatest thing mankind has invented.

Fight me seek

 

[Bro Bundy]

I think it depends on the person to do a test only or a oral+test for a first cycle..Im all for orals and test as a first cycle
