That being said, he has posted now. Shouldnt we share our knowledge so that he can make an educated choice instead on an uneducated one?

As stated above using steroids at 17 runs the risk of causing life long damage to your endocrine system which could have a detrimental effect on your health.
Also estrogen could possibly cause the fusion of growth plates.

Finally steroids are not to be used when you are severly underweight like yourself, they are there for when you have reached your natural potential and what to take your body past its limits.

Due to your age it is likely your account will be suspended as you do not meet the minimum age of the board, however please continue to use the site for research. You will find lots of valuable information to help you with your problem, especially in the diet, training and supplement sections of the board.

Don't take steroids at 17. Until around 24 years old, your endocrine system is in development. Taking steroids shuts down your endocrine system. This is a very bad thing to happen when it's at it's most crucial period. In addition, being severely underweight likely means you are not eating enough. I know... "But I eat all the time!" Trust me, you don't. This forum has a very good diet forum, I'd check that out. Many people don't realize just how little they actually eat.

Steroids wont do anything helpful for you until you are at least 25. You will seriously screw your body up if you take them at your age. This is common knowledge.

Try taking protein weight gainer powder and give it a few years.

Gallon of whole milk everyday, Big mac and shove some mayo in there, eat fries with mayo and ketchup, cheesy bacon potatoes, you full? eat some more!. Adding weight is about calories/food not roids!

[chuckt12345]

just be patient,, your young and your metabolism is prb rocket high,, you will start slowing down and putting on weight. i was skinny until i hit 22/23. Right now you need to focus on eating the right stuff,, even though you could prb eat 5000 calories and still not gain. Dont worry about how big your friends are,, theyll prb all be 400lbs in 5 yrs

You eat a lot? No, you don't. If you actually ate a lot you'd gain weight in either the form of muscle or at the very least gain body fat. Through my experiences with people, I have found that a lot overweight people underestimate how much they really eat, and underweight (hardgainers) greatly overestimate how much they eat. They'll have one big meal and then they'll be "full" for most of the day and they'll recall that "big" meal and assume they a lot a lot when they barely ate anything most of the day. And if they did eat a lot, it'd be foods that have a low caloric density, they fill you up but don't have much calories in them. So eat more, if you don't gain weight, eat more than that , if you're still not gaining weight, eat more than that! It's impossible not to respond to surplus calories and not gaining any kind of weight! Your body would have to defy thermodynamics!

Too freaking young man. Stay away from AAS for many years.

OP, if you're truly believing you have a test issue that's preventing you from gaining weight, at your age, go see a doctor. Most likely, you're just not eating a lot. I myself am a "hard gainer" too. It turned out, I just wasn't eating enough. So I started out eating six small meals per day, then I started to gain, then I started adjusting those meals and making them larger so I can meet my macros and I gained more weight. Use the nutritional/diet forums. Bodybuilding.com also has very good dieting forums too. You're not going to put on pounds over night. It's a long process so don't get discouraged if after 3 months you aren't Arnold.

[MAC MAN]

Yes, steroids are for people with either a medical problem (which is addressed by a doctor) or by athletes who have achieved success in their goals naturally looking to get to the next level. Not for kids who are looking to find an easy way out.
