So 12 weeks went by rather quickly. I'm 2 weeks from my last 250mg Test E injection & I'm starting my PCT today.
1st- my cycle went good. Solid average gains of 11-12lbs. I'll say lean as my BF dropped by a percent. I learned to keep air in my needle so when I aspirate I can see blood easily if I hit a vein. I did hit a vein once (glute inj.) but due to oil in the needle I didn't aspirate good enough to pull blood & felt some seriously painful results. From then on no more glutes as a different time I didn't hit a vein but went through one and back flow still hit my system. That sucks bad!
Sex drive & attitude. All I could think about was sex, if I didn't get it I think I acted like a dich. Far from "rage" but definetly reminded me of what it was like during puberty/early 20's (I'm 35 now). My wife was impressed with the gains, less impressed with the 24/7 ultra heightened sex drive. Now, I've always had a very high sex drive & thought it would be fun to be as horny as I was back in my "early" years. After a bit, thinking with my dich 24/7 wasn't so fun.
The gym. Actually, I didn't work harder. I kept a solid 4 days a week of good hard workouts & left plenty of recovery. I did well on my diet. I'm happy with the 11-12lbs in 3 months.
STARTING NEW DRUGS-
OK, Testosterone is one thing. It's already something natural & if your source & gear is good then I doubt any male would have issue. Adex (think that's what it was) for my AI at o.25mg EOD I had to mess around with. I preloaded Test E so I had a rapid increase & since I noticed no change didn't start my AI. Eventually I felt some sensitivity to my nipples & started my AI & the issue resolved Immediatly. I found the AI controlled the acne that was starting along with any sensitivity. When I started my cycle I prepped & had Letro on hand in case the Gyno monster attacked & I'm glad there was no need.
PCT MEDS- tamoxifen/Nolva & Clomid. This is where I'm being careful. There is a lack of info (that I could find) on side effect for males. Doing a...
Nolva(tamoxifen) 40/40/20/20 along with Clomid 100/100/50/50 or 100/50/50/50 starting today (2 weeks from last test e shot) was worrisome. I've read enough mistakes & learned from mine. Everyone's different. I started with 10mg Nolva & will increase. I do feel a bit itchy but it's going away now (been an hour). I'll give it another hour then try 25mg of Clomid & see how I do?
Hopefully I can keep increasing the PCT Meds & will not have any issues. The AI was fine.
Anyone have side effects from PCT Meds?
Should I continue to use my AI while I work into my PCT? I could be running full strength in a day or two & thinking back probably should have started "testing" a couple days ago. Thoughts?
End thoughts- I'm sure glad I had the help here & waited a good 6 months with everyday solid research before doing my first cycle. AAS sound "easy". I found its much harder, required MORE dedication & hard work. Above all it does come at a cost, mentally it's something I think you know only after the fact. I'm looking forward to my second cycle. Maybe in 6-9 months. I also do not believe I'll need to go beyond Test E. we'll see..
