    How do I keep my cycle secret?

    So I think I have my bases covered. I’m doing a cycle but want to keep it to myself. I have my stuff in a place I can use in private.

    I know balls shrinking is a side effect. How can I explain that away to a partner?

    Are there other telltale signs that I’m on a cycle I have to worry about?

    I’m not. I thought that was for fertility which I’m not worried about, but now that I’m reading about it, I see that it’d be helpful. Thank you

    Telltale signs... how bout a radical physical transformation? Used syringes sitting around? The occasional bruise, bump or lump from a wonky injection?

    Visit your gym adjacent TRT clinic weekly and mind your own business. Your member appearing bigger compared to your shriveled nuts is unlikely to be a hot topic.

    The transformation I figure is chalk up to just “going to the gym more” with a “better routine that pushed me through a plateau”

    The lumps I hadn’t considered. Thank you, I’ll be mindful of that

    "Partner" as in significant other?

    If so, I would question why you're hiding this from your spouse or gf/bf.

    Gym partner? Heck I'd come clean to them too, if it were me. Years ago I worked out with a guy, and I did one cycle. He knew all about it and was astonished at how much stronger I got in those 12 or so weeks.

    As in girls I’m dating but not living with. I feel like it’s none of their business. I just am preparing so I don’t have to answer any awkward questions if they try to make it their business

    Just tell her that you're transitioning.

    Hiding something like this from a significant other is not a good idea. If something happens to me and I am in the hospital unconscious, my wife is the one that makes all the medical decisions for me. She better know what all I am taking drug wise. Honestly my daughter also knows as she is the back up on telling the doctors to unplug me!

    Yes, my lifting partner also knows. Granted I am just on TRT right now so while my gym progress is pretty damn good it isn't like in human. I do plan to blast once all the TRT hormone factors are leveled and yes I would want all the above to know that also. My gym partner will be able to better push me then between Blasts and regular TRT times.

    Deny deny deny . Think of a reason it makes sense to u but not them . I'm not using steroids it's vitamin shots . My blood work said I was low on folate . It's a shot so my weiner stays hard for 3hours. Say shit like that let them know you're thinkin of them

    If she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed maybe tell her that she is so hot that you have to jerk off every hour just from thinking about her & your balls need time to fill back up ? If she buys that, then explaining gyno & hair loss will be a lot easier.

    Are you being serious? Ugh, I feel like shit for encouragement of the grammar policing. Apologies.
    You never know what someone is going through and a great reminder to have grace. I feel confident in speaking for Navy that he was just having fun but didn’t realize it was at that expense. Again, I’m sorry.

    Best and I hope you’re doing ok

    Lol.sorry bad taste on my part and at the expense of "getting back" at a fellow grammar nazi.

    No tumor that I'm aware of. I knew the correct term, but somehow it got reversed when I posted it.

    Apologies again.

    Edit. And this stupid phone doesn't help. Replaces misspelled words with other misspelled words. Lol

    OP, in case it isn't obvious, we don't generally recommend keeping your cycle a secret from an SO, especially not one you live with.

    You can (and should) reverse / prevent testicular atrophy with HCG .

    I can see why people would want to keep this secret from their wife/girlfriend. If the relationship goes sour it can (and probably will) be used against you in divorce court or in family court (when you're trying to get custody of your kid).

    But at the same time, if you can't be totally honest with your wife about everything and you're holding things from her, then you're creating a separate life from her and yourself. In that sense you've put yourself outside of the marriage.

    Besides, it makes it easier if your old lady can administer some of the shots.

    I get it, and thank you for the feedback. I don’t mean to seem like I’m being really sneaky or unethical with a significant other about it. When I say partner, I mean girls I’m dating. I’m single, and the girls I’m seeing aren’t ever going to move in or share a bank account. They are friends and we share a fun times together. They’re free to do whatever they want. I don’t feel like they need to know all my personal details.

    Thank you again, I appreciate the knowledge and experience being shared

    SADLY,

    THIS is the gospel truth.

    If she is about to become "the former Mrs (insert surname)", then you can be sure that the gloves are coming off in the courtroom, and possibly with the cops...

    Make sure she does some of the injections and that would make her an accessory!

    A lot of people say the gloves come out and it would be full battle, but I really think if that is the way it seems the gloves have most likely been off for a while and you were just pretending life was good! If I can't trust my wife to know everything about me and where all my skeletons are hiding then I probably shouldn't be marrying them in the first place. Her crimes are mine and mine are hers.

    It must be a really vindictive bitch to call the cops on your steroid use . I wouldn’t let anyone I’m casually dating know. Only when I’ve been in the relationship for at least a few months would I consider telling my partner, and only if the topic of children came up. I told my current gf about it when she found a syringe in my bathroom maybe 5 months into the relationship. She’s an angel and would never do anything like that, even if we broke up.

    Every female I ever came across, that I’ve had serious conversations with - just automatically assumed I was juiced. Let alone the people who know me from my past - I gained a good 50 pounds or so. Lol

    But, I wouldn’t just tell random folk I’m spiking up illegal substances

    Hey brother, you forgot to add to this: In an ideal world / relationship...

    Oftentimes, even the most careful captains, while charting their course, run their vessel aground; ships (and I do mean relationships) end up "on the rocks"...

    I wasn't saying that as a means of dissuading people from being honest with their wives. In fact, I'm saying if somebody isn't wiling to take this risk, then they probably shouldn't do gear.

    I've yet to meet a woman that wasn't vindictive after a breakup. They will and do anything to fvuk you over. Especially when alimony, child support and custody of the kid(s) is being fought over.

    That being said my old lady knows everything about my past and present. Like I said, if I can't be honest with her, who the fvuk can I? She's my best friend and who I confide in with everything good or bad. Besides, what I've done, what I'm doing and what I will do affects her. She has the right to know if I'm doing something that can give me an early heart attack or stroke.

    The secret is to have many naked pictures of them.
