What are/were your AAS regrets? Do you have any?

[oscar1990]

Do you have any? e.g. to young, addiction, depression, cant come off, want more results, loss of sex drive, additional expense, time pinning, burden of pinning?


whats yours?

[austinite]

Endocrine system damage, irreversible pigmentation, loss of libido, TRT for life at a very young age, depression, suicide thoughts. Age 21 to 29/30 were the worst years of my life. Should have been my best. This is all a result of foolishly cycling at a young age, prior to an epiphyseal line.

[Livinlean]

Taking M1T's in highschool. Cycled too young and too many long lasting side effects.

[Papa Smurf]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

HRT for the rest of my life, because I was too young, too stupid, too trusting (of the dude that sold me the stuff) No internet or forums back in the ole days......just word of mouth.

We thought PCT for test was to ramp on and then ramp off...............what stupid kids we were!

Oh..........forgot to mention the 7 or 8 years of depression, failed marriages, before I found out I had low T

[The Bear 79]

My regret is nowhere near as severe as the above posts........

I wish I would have waited to reach my natural peak / limit before cycling.

[Lunk1]

Wasted cycles and $ is my only regret...so far

[isaac_wood85]

Started when I was 24, only regret is not being slack with diet and pct

[Granovich]

austinite WINS!!!!

[lifeofdefiance]

Only on my 3rd cycle, but I have none as of now. No lasting sides or anything. I guess saving money would have been the only good thing out of not cycling for me.

Actually I take that back. I ****ed up my diet/training towards the end of my 1st cycle and during PCT and it caused me to lose a lot of the gains I made.

[kelkel]

Mine would be not being able to cycle due to work from 89 to 09. I missed my prime competitive years.

Constant libido issues. Gets me in trouble every time!

I hope you're not the person i think you are. If so, you best get while you can. If not, i apologize. You do know i'll find out right?

[marcus300]

I don't have any regrets and ive done plenty of daft and dangerous things but the one thing what was horrible to gp through was low testosterone and the transition to trt. Going through low test was a living hell, infact it was daily torture what would break any man. Horrendous feeling.

[Howell]

No I guess I'm not the same person but must have been bad lol.
I'm a newbie

[Brohim]

marcus what do you consider low test? I hae tested in the 300's before and still function pretty good it def. not horrible.

[Brohim]

Austinite I never heard that pigmintation was a side of steroid use . It seems like you have everything straight now with HRT - I bet you wish you could get your test to normal levels without it. Thanks for posting

Not common. But back then (near 15 years ago) the doc said it was likely in those who are very prone to acne development, which I was back then. Everything is great now, yes. I certainly would prefer to have natural test levels, however, I am very happy to have treatment

The most important thing before anyone goes on TRT is to find the root cause. There is always a reason. If a doc ever says You have low T, here is a prescription... you need to find another doc!

[bigJ_777]

No serious regrets so far except for when I used clomid for pct, I broke horribly on my first weeks of pct, looked like I had a disease..it was all over back & shoulders, arms, and the face..hurt like a bitch. Nolva never did this to me, I must have been alergic or something, never again

If you don't mind me asking how old were you guys when you started cycling (for those who say they cycled to young). And do you feel if you used PCT and ran low doses and not stacked anything crazy you'd be fine after? Limited cycle, like 3 cycles, at low doses to get a good boost then go from there until later on, cycling again?

Thanks Austinite. I had bad acne too when I was in HS so maybe not try any additional testosterone now! lol. I am 32 and feel a little sluggish at times and test levels have been tested at almost 500. Even though a cycle of T sounds great I will just workout and not be so focused on trying to be in the best shape possible. I am also getting married in September so now that I secured a hottie she say's it's ok if I gain a little fat. haha

Congrats on the upcoming marriage bro!

You could get some extensive blood work sometime to find out what's going on. Meanwhile, so I don't clutter up this thread... if you have time PM me and I'll give you a list of supplements that helped me get out of the "Sluggish" mode.

[auswest]

Uneducated starting cycles.

Allowing bf to get to high..

Skipping legs

[Brohim]

Thanks brotha! PM on the way..

[stpete]

I'm going to "clutter" thread and tell Brohim that i need to know more about his AV. Really nice!

It's a model - but she looks almost exactly like my Fiance that is why I used it except she has a little darker hair when she doesn't highlight it. But the butt is most important! lol

[stpete]

I have to be careful here...Do you know the girls name? Too much test....

[FONZY007]

Mine is also using to young, even when test was at 67ng/ml I never had libido problems... Trt for life..

Woow that's amazing. It really hit my libido hard or I should say soft lol

[Knockout_Power]

Unlike most, I didnt start too young, but I did start while uneducated. Got injured training for a fight and my coach put me on a cycle to speed up recovery. Biggest mistake ever. He knew very little and I knew less. Got on here shortly after and corrected my mistakes.

[XstabberX]

I'm two weeks into my first cycle at 44 and feel amazing. I guess my only regret is not starting a little sooner. I appreciate the forum an all the advice I get so I can not make some mistakes as others. People on here do seem to genuinely care and want to give the best advice to stay healthy.
