Hi everyone
I’m new to the forum. Thank you for all the information on the topics. It reminds me that knowledge is power. Do your research before you dive into the deep end. Unfortunately, I didn’t do that and I’m not sure what to do next. Having read the Newbie post, I realise that my failure to plan my cycle, particularly my PCT cycle, has been my downfall.
i have been on a cycle for what certainly appears to be way too long. It seems to me that I have two choices. Stop my cycle and start PCT, or stop my cycle except Test, which I should lower to a maintenance (maybe better to say “TRT”) dose. What to do and how to do it is where I get stuck. I’ve read the forums on these topics, but I’ve found it difficult to find a uniform answer on the process.
My problem:
I had never done a cycle. I researched the topic, but ultimately followed the advice of what I believed to be a veteran. I started on Test E (500mg per week). I built up to 1000mg per week after about 10 weeks. I then added Anavar (20mg) for period of 6(ish) weeks. I added EQ once I completed the Anavar. I ended up on Test E (500 mg per week) and EQ (500mg per week), which I still take. On about Week 20, I added Deca (150mg per week). I experienced crazy headaches and stopped Deca after about a month.
As it stands, I have been on Test E for 8 months and EQ for 5 months. I followed the advice of my supplier all along, but accept that I should have done my research properly and made smart decisions. Hindsight is a perfect science. When you don’t know what you doing, it also easier to simply follow the advice of someone who sounds like they know what they are doing.
I haven’t experienced any side effects to date, except for the headaches on Deca. I had blood work done about two weeks ago and all looks good, except that my red blood count is high. I have arranged for a venesection on my doctor’s advice. My blood pressure has been a bit high at times, but it seems to have settled since I stopped Deca.
It seems I need to stop the current cycle, although opinions differ as to how I should do so (as well as what to do after that). I have researched the topic and am confused. All I know is that I have overshot the mark and must act now. I don’t know whether to taper or whether to simply stop. I am also lost between whether to take Clomid, Nolvadex and HCG, and for how long to take each one. I have been told all three products for two weeks, only Clomid and Nolvadex for 4 to 6 weeks. I have been told start immediately, start two weeks after your last injection. Obviously each person I ask has a different opinion.
I don’t know whether I should stop Test altogether. My Test levels were low last year when I had blood work done (Lower than the range accepted as “normal”). My doctor discussed options with me at the time, which included TRT as a last resort. I didn’t do anything at the time. I suppose the “problem” was temporarily solved when I started Test E. Hence I don’t know if I should continue with a maintenance / TRT dose of Test E even when I stop my cycle. I understand such a dose of Test may negate the need to do a PCT cycle altogether, but I would need to monitor it.
I am quite lost at the moment. I’m not sure what next do, nor how to do it.
My last consideration is what to do next. Obviously I need to do more research and read more credible forum threads. But I want to think ahead so that I have a proper game plan and am not merely doing what I am told next. I am 1.86m and 104kgs. I have put on about 10kgs in the last 8 months. I don’t want to bulk. I want to focus on lean muscle, strength and definition.
I am sure that “what do you suggest I do” isn’t the correct question to ask. But any input, advice, guidance would be much appreciated. I feel that I have overshot the mark and am shooting blindly in the dark. The have not placed my health at the forefront and now need to do so asap. You only have one body. Look after it. Right?!?
