    From what I have recently researched they are replaced every 3 months.. I have heard cases where people changed them monthly....

    The pellets work by acting as a reservoir so that your body can use them as needed. The test is used based upon an persons rate of metabolism which acually increaes the flow of blood around the pellet thus releasing it to the body.

    Sphincter,

    I am not sure on that.. I am on HRT and only use FDA approved compounding pharmacies so I dont know anything about UGL's or anything about hush mail...

    Sorry

    Thanks for your question..

    Lexed,

    They make a small incision and insert the pellets.. So yes that have to make the incision every time.. There are people who have it done about 4 times a year or so... The pellets completely dissolve..

    How does one go about trying to get perscription steroids? Is it just a case of a lot of guys being "lucky" and having low test which allows them to get trt or is it more about making connections with the right people?

    Amorphic,

    It's not really begin lucky IMO.. There is a big difference in wanting to do a cycle and having to take a inject once a week or month for the rest of your life just to feel normal..

    Most Docs I have spoken to dont like to prescribe HRT for men under 30 .. Low test can lead to a lot of diffrent symptoms.. Most men with low test complain about low sex drive and mood swings.. You have to have the proper bloodwork done to see if you are a candidate for HRT..

    Yeah I didnt mean to make it sound like its a good thing to have low test. Just curious about how a lot of guys who are heavy cyclers have access to pharm grade steroids on perscription. I'm assuming a lot of these guys must have connections with sports doctors or illegitimate people?

    Hey Merc, I'l be starting a test only cycle soon. Not to go over 200lb. I've ran a dbol only cycle [I](25-40mg/day, 5wk, no SERM or AI)[/I] and noticed [B]I attracted not just bloat but major fat storage around the midsection. [/B]Granted I could have lowered the salt intake, and I did eat alot (clean though), but man did I blow up on that compound.

    My question is:

    [B]1[/B] - Does this mean I will be prone to attract [I]belly[/I] fat with test only cycle? [B](250mg/wk -12wk -Test Enanthate)[/B]

    [B]2 [/B]- Should I start the cycle without an AI and see how I respond to the test enanthate before introducing an AI?

    This will be a first test cycle for me. A lean bulk cycle. [B]250mg/wk Test Enan. - 12wk[/B] Stats are:

    [B]48yr - 6'1" - 185 - 12%bf - 35" Waist - Maint. Cals: 2700 cals[/B], so far

    Hey thanks alot for your input!!!

    Merc just last question what are the dosages given to these compounds for trt?


    TEST - 100-200 mg EW ( I have seen higher doses and some docs use a every other week inject protocol..)..

    DECA - 50 -100 mg EW ( again I have seen higher doses on this )

    WINNY - 25 mg ED ( I have seen lower and higher doses prescribed on this )..

    ANAVAR - 15-25 mg ED .. Not postive on this one but when I talked to my doc in the past he said that's what he usually starts people at)..

    ANADROL - 25 -50 mg ED .. Most docs I have spoke to about this said they only like using it for 4-6 wks with thier patients

    GH - I have seen docs use alot of different protocols on this.. Some advise 1-2 ius per day following 5 days on / 2 days off inject schedule.

    HALOTESTIN 10-20 mg ED

    Lexed keep in mind Doctors will determine what doses they think should be used after doing a full blood work makeup.. It will vary from patient to patient..

    Amorphic,

    Yea in every profession there are corrupt people .. If you are not feeling good and have bloodwork done that shows your hormones are out of balance I would definitely want to work with a good doc ( not just some doc that quickly hands you a script without even reviewing anything) ..

    I advise going to a endocrinologist if someone is having problems .. I would not want some money hungry doc messing around with my hormones and making the situation worse in the end..

    Hi Ecto 9,

    No it dosent mean you will be prone to attract belly fat.. Dbol adds alot of water weight for most people .. I have a friend that had the same thing happen when using dbol.. He dialed his diet in the next time he used it and didnt experience that problem..

    As you know your diet is very important. Make sure you a drinking enough water when you go on cycle and keep your sodium intake low..

    Where you incorporating any cardio when you did your dbol cycle??

    You are only going to use 250 mg of test per wk for your cycle .. I wouldnt use a AI for that cycle.. You could keep adex or letro on hand , but I would also have nolva close by just in case.. I would use the nolva if you start to get symptoms , and , than if you like you can drop the nolva after they subside.. Keep in mind nolva lowers IGF-1 and alot of people report back that they experience less gains when using nolva in thier cycle..

    Merc, have had this question on the main forum with no answers, thought I would hit you up. While they are still trying to figure things out, the doc has put me on a beta-blocker called Atenalol. Every test they have run is perfect, go figure! I am getting an appointment with a new doctor at Mayo, as I think this whole things is out of my docs league. (He actually had the balls to tell me that sometimes he hits a home run with patients and other times he has to run them around the bases and I am one of them....idiot) Anyway I am still planning to run a var only cycle. Found a local source, but still waiting for product. I am gonna wait until after I see the new doc, etc., but if they determine that I need to stay on bp meds, can I still run a cycle; be it the var, or test, or whatever?

    Hi Brow,

    I want to let everyone know that we have been pm'ing for a little bit so i am aware of some of the things you and your Doc have going on...

    Last we spoke he was trying to get you off the BP meds and you had said that you thought you wouldnt need them anymore .. What came of that ??

    I dont know why he would have started you on atenolol ? yea sounds good you are going to see another doc...

    I know people that use BP meds when they are on cycle and dont have any problems ..

    As I told you before I like using test in a cycle I know you want to try var .. I will say I have seen people have ok results using just var but again I like using test in my cycles..

    What is your BP at now that you have been on the BP med for a while?



    Can you please explain to me why Aromasin is used during PCT w/ Clomid or nolvadex, what side effects happen w/o using it during PCT, and is Liquidex an ok alternative, thanks


    Hi Dsmooth,

    Alot of people are using Aromasin in thier pct that are following Anthony Roberts PCT protocol ( aromasin, hcg and nolva)..

    You see HCG is suppressive so using nolva helps to block its suppressive nature (on 17 ohp) .. Hcg blocks the conversion of 17 ohp to test . Without getting technical about it using nolva inconjuction with HCG will stop this from occurring.

    Aromasin is added in this pct to stop any suppression from the estrogen engendered by the HCG..

    Studies show that nolva makes type II Ai's ( like letro , adex) less effective.. Aromasin is a type I AI and it does not need to be present to continue doing its job on the aromatase enzyme .. A type II Ai is partially eliminated by nolva and needs to be present to continue doing its aromatise inhibition.. Once a type I ( aromasin ) AI does its job the enzyme it attached to is useless..

    So for that reason liquidex is not a good idea with his PCT protocol..

    There are also people who use a AI and a SERM without HCG for PCT.. The AI is added mostly to help with estrogen and to help increase test levels..

    dsmooth ,

    I dont like clomid only pct.. I have acually had bloodwork done in the past using clomid and it took a long time for me to recover.. From personal experience and from other peoples blood work I have seen Anthony Roberts PCT works the best..

    Are you already into your pct or are you just planing it?

    Merc,
    Thanks for the response. Well Friday, it was actually at 134/57! When I was in his office on Tuesday it was 155/88. So was it up cause i was anxious, maybe? I actually am beginning to think that the meds are bringing it too low. I am looking forward to see the new docs. Hopefully they will figure it all out. Hope all is well on your end.

    Brow

    Yea I went back and was looking at some older pm's you sent me and they have had you on a roller coaster with this BP thing for awhile now.. I am glad you are going to get another opinion.. Please make sure to keep me updated with everything ...

    All is well here .. Thanks for asking.....

    dsmooth

    Nolva is a more effective SERM than clomid .. It takes approx 150 mg of clomid to do what 20 mg of nolva can .. Since you are 10 days into pct you might want to just stick with the clomid ( since you said you feel good) .. You could add nolva if you wanted to .. Have you considered a over the counter product to add to your pct ?? Alot of people really like Myogenx ... There are alot of threads about it if you want to check it out just do a search on here.. Also have you read Anthony Roberts pct protocol ?? In the future you might want to give it a try.. What was your cycle and what are your stats ??
