My hormone doc gave me a script for test var and winny. I am running test only now. This is my 5th cycle in the past two and a half years. Was home invaded and pistol wipped and had damage to putitiory gland. Using test e at 500mg/wk. Doc wants me doing it in cycles to see if my endocrine system can ever return to normal so I do not need HRT for life. Well anyways. The doc said due to recpitior downgrade he advises using var for only 5 weeks. He said from researching blood test that he felt that var becomes less effictive after about 5 weeks and results usally are not seen much past this. I have friends that run var for 6-8wk and seems like they are still seeing results. Is this true about var working best for only 5 weeks?? Is 5 wks long enough to get good results with var ? Is my docs advise correct??
