Interesting lesson this 1st cycle.

**Wazz** · 12-22-2012, 04:37 PM

Well, I've gone from learning via reading for about 6 months on AAS to my first cycle "hands on" learning. It's a simple 500mg per week Test E cycle with all gear for AI, PCT & just in case~ Gyno.

Now, I did do a frontload of 750mg (1st injection), I know just over 600mg was the "ideal" number but wasn't worried about it. I did notice a Labido difference in 4 days. I know some say it takes longer but this was definitely out of the norm for me. 2nd injection came & went, my Labido has been level & very strong. I could say there's a difference in the gym but....... I just feel good, that's about it.

Aromasin was started at o.25mg EOD but I slacked. I began wondering if I really needed an AI. I stopped for about 10 days & behold I started feeling sensitive nipples. Itched like crazy. No puffy nips, just the feeling that Gyno would follow shortly if I didn't stay on this. The night it started I Immediatly took 0.5mg Aromasin then the next day o.25 & my nipples were back to normal. Over the next week I learned that I do better & have no sensitivity if I stay at o.25mg ED or o.5mg EOD. Now "normal" is now perky type nipples? This is what they've been like since day 4 on....

I have everything on hand (Nolva, Clomid, Letro) incase needed & I'm very glad at this point that nothing was rushed. I hated that feeling & getting caught with my pants down & nipples driving me nuts would have been freakin' awful. So for beginners I must say, listen to the veterans here. Everyone's different & you never know.

Protocol continues as well as watching how my body responds. I definetly understand why beginners should only attempt Test for a first cycle. I am curious what others did when they ran into this & if there is anything else I might want to pay attention to.

I'll be back on tonight & see if I have any replies/recommendations.

Thanks, Wazz

Sounds like your taking a great approach to this and nice informative post. I think you would be finr at .25 EOD though as the idea is not to use anymore than you have to. Keep an eye on BP...it's the first indicater for me!

How long have you been on now, how are the gains??

Wazz, glad to hear things are panning out for you. What are the odds of this morphing into a cycle log?

Well I am glad you found out about your ai without having trouble.

I assume your AI is Arimidex not Aromasin .

Sounds like you have it dialed in.

It's late, I'd have to dig in the gym bag for my log & dates. Around a month now? +/- few days.

Gains. My weight fluctuates about 2lbs a day no matter the time. This month I remember logging 3lbs avg. in gains. I've been keeping a great log & could post up the entire cycle when done (planned). Getting in everyday to update online during this time a year is tuff. I'll watch the BP. I did notice that my sleep is effected when off AIs. Its an early indicator, odd but works. I'll keep month 2 very tight & regular, when the last month starts I may try to stop the AI & keep a daily log of health/sleep & see how it effects me before feeling the sides on my nipples.

I just want to really learn the effects & KNOW exactly what to watch for..

LOL, I had to breakout the gear just to do a double check. Otherwise my dosage would have been off, but it's yeah, its Arimidex /anastrozole... I can't believe I put Aromasin, but glad you guys knew what I meant

Even though I had read a lot on AIs I went back & really dug in. I agree with you guys in that o.25 ED might be a bit much. Since the sides have gone away I'll bring it back to EOD and pay attention with no slacking. It would drive me nuts not knowing exactly what's needed.

Also read up on the half life. Sounds like the concensoius is to work the AI schedule to the day after you Test Pin. The idea being that both the test E & AI will peak at the same time.

I'll be on here & there, thx guys/gals
