poll on your cycle length

[jagdpanther]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
I'm recently became a member of this site and am interested in finding out what the average length of your cycles are. Please feel free to write why you prefer this length, and the pros and cons. I'm running this same poll on another thread with the same user name so if you respond in both add that information in a post so I can factor that in.

Thanks,

Jagdpanther

Used to run cycles 12-14 weeks, but now am doing 4-6 week short cycles. Shorter cycles seem to work for me now.

cheers

how are you setting up your shorter cycles?
All short esters?
Are you mixing ester lengths and front loading?
You say the shorter cycles are working for you now, what is difference you notice?

I'm asking as I just did a short cycle for me - 10 weeks. I liked it because the acne wasn't as bad as on longer cycles. I can deal with insomnia, night sweats, and, just about anything in the book but acne. I'm 38 years old and never had any acne scarring until last year when I did a ten month cycle. I never want to go through that again. This last 10 week cycle was originally planned as a 12 week cycle but I bailed because the acne started to act up.

What did I notice?

Pros
1. PCT was shorter!
2. I didn't feel the blues that bad or for that long while I was waiting for my test levels to come back up.
3. I'm only 5 weeks out from my when I started PCT and stopping taking clomid to see what would happen about a week ago - I feel great and my sex driver is good.
4. My acne only got semi bad

Cons
1. Weeks 8-10 are usually when I start seeing better results physically. I probably could have stayed on and kept growing for a bit.

Thanks for the welcome bro!
Funny thing is I've been a lurker on this site for longer then I've been a member at the other site (or even knew about it). This was one of the first steroid sites I found when I started to do research. I can remember spending many a late night reading and rereading the steroid profiles trying to decide whether or not to take the plunge. I studied for a good 6-8 months before making my choice. Today I think it was the right choice
Brings back funny memories though - I used to feel paranoid just reading the web pages in my room, which was dimly illuminated by only the monitor's eerie glow - LOL.

b cool,

I'm becoming more fond of 8 weekers myself.

Update:
I'm running this same poll on another site and thought I'd compare the numbers.

-------------------Other site----------here-------totals
8 or less-----------------3-------------8-----------11
10 to 12----------------16------------21-----------37
13 to 16-----------------9-------------7-----------16
more then 16------------12------------2-----------14


interesting points
1) largest single category from both sites was the standard 10 -12 weeks
2) the responders at this site were heavily concentrated in the 10-12 week category
3) If the we were to simplify the data from the other site, making two groups: 12 or less and over twelve,then cycles longer then 12 weeks are favored there

unfortunately these polls are one dimensional in that there is only one question. It would be interesting if we could ask other questions like age,
number of cycles etc. Then we might be able to correlate the data into a pattern or trend - then again maybe not.

As originally stated one of the reasons I started this thread was to find out why people preferred a particular cycle length. Why? I'm experimenting with my own cycle lengths and trying to figure out what works best for me.

Please feel free to comment on any aspect -health, pct, keeping gains, etc.

b cool,
