Hi I'm 8 weeks into a 15 week 500mg test e only cycle, I'm 23 years old.
Someone told me to be careful of erectile dysfunction, what are the chances of this happening after 15 weeks? Is 15 weeks to long?
My diet is good and I have a proper pct.
Thanks
It's hard to say some people are more susceptible then others I'd say that 15 weeks is too long. It's also worth mentioning that you shouldn't be taking AAS at your age because your endocrine system hasn't fully developed and thus could cause long lasting issues. You'll have to use HCG before you start PCT for the best change of recovery and you should also monitor estrogen as that can play a part amongst others in ED.Quote:

It just depends
I had family issues and had to travel and havnt been to the gym In 3 weeks but was still using, hence the 3 extra weeks. What do you think??

Young or not
Another friend of mine, decade younger than me(he's in his mid 20's) tried to come off after being on for about a year. . . . Didn't work, he couldn't take being off & got back on
If you can recover from a 12 week cycle then you can recover from a 15 week cycle. I actually prefer 15 week cycles because it makes no sense to me to leave half empty bottles of gear laying around after your cycle. Might as well keep it simple and finish the 3rd bottle. The KEY is going to be how you approach your pct and how well you stay on top of your blood work and manage problem causing hormones like estrogen and prolactin.
If your estrogen is high then it will prevent your testes from producing enough testosterone. Your HPTA cannot tell the difference between test and estro (same goes for DHT but that's not the focus here) so if estro OR DHT is high it will keep test suppressed. That is why it's important to keep estrogen around 21 ng/dl while stimulating LH and FSH for proper recovery.
I'm thinking about doing 16 weeks because I'm at week 5 and I still don't feel anything really. Look the same, and I bought from a reputable supplier with pharma ampoules. The scratch off codes verified with the manufacturer. The only thing I am is angrier. I get pissed at everything.
I have only had erectile problems while on Deca. My body does well with all other AAS except that one. It was brutal on my marriage so I never used it again.
I know no one wants to hear this but I would really wait a few years until you're older. You're 23 so you probably already have testosterone coming out your eyeballs. You have plenty of time. That said, I have been on 500 mg of Test (I don't believe the esther affects the answer to your question) and have experienced no ED both when I was taking Arimidex to control estrogen and when I wasn't. In fact, I have been rock hard nearly 24/7, and I'm 36 years old. So, I had the opposite experience. It's almost a problem to be honest with you, because I constantly want to fuck my wife, but she has a normal libido and just isn't into doing it 4 or 5 times a day. Before getting on Test I experienced occasional ED problems, and any drinking nearly ensured I couldn't get an erection.
Depends on the person - a big part of ED is psychological as well. Even when my test was low after a cycle never had any issues whatsoever.
I wouldn't think a 500mg/wk for 12 week cycle would produce significant erectile dysfunction if the cycle is run properly. I would be worried about the affect the Test will have on your brain development. Not being funny, the average male's endocrine system, the stuff that controls the natural production of about 100 hormones, does not mature until mid 20's. Taking exogenous Test or other Test related products can affect the development of your endocrine system. This could cause ED or other sex related issues. Then again, like Samson said, it depends.
^agreed, then some
I am so content with waiting to start juice till I was 30+
The young guys I know, run heavy gear - and are mostly sub 25. . . How will they b when they are my age now? Oh well, GL to us all
I can’t even imagine bro I waited till I was 36 to use aas and it took about 10yrs of cycling and pct with perfect protocol to experience ed issues I couldn’t imagine how much it would suck in your 30’s...these kids have no idea the real consequences imho I’d give it all back to not have these problems...I manage with trt and cialis but I’d rather no have too...my 2centsQuote:
