Mid-cycle changes

[NuthnButTest]

I wanted to throw some things out there about my current cycle

I do this on occasion because I don't feel I need such a large dose and I've changed my cycle twice. Now here's one of the things about this, I still feel great even at a lower dose

Test cyp, no AI, no HCG, no PCT yet as I have another 2.5 months I want to complete and than PCT for the year until next spring

Started at a little over 1ml a week x1 injection per week.
Switched it up to .5 ml x2 injections a week which would bring me to 200mg testosterone per week at 2 injections instead of one
Switched it up again a few weeks back and now I'm only running one injection of .5ml and the other about .3 so in total roughly 150mg test a week

Some notes

Feel great even at a lower dose
Still lift/train hard and pumps are insane
Noticed an odd thing about the testies though

My testicle size actually returned to normal without HCG on the cycle and than it shrinks again post injection/few days after


Mid blood work is actually coming up in 2-3 weeks

Some other things I've noticed
Drop in body fat
Muscle itself is hard for days after pumps
Incredible mood changes - Used to be depressed now always enjoying the sun outside

Some other things I added to my supplements

Zinc, Magnesium, Omegas, liver/organ defender, Niacin, Uni-liver, vitamin d3...

Any tips/concerns appreciated

I've been reading up as much as I can and haven't felt like I need AI or HCG yet but will consider it once I find a better source

This is TRT you're referring to correct? I ask due to your terminology of "current cycle" and "mid-cycle" you referenced along with PCT.

[NuthnButTest]

Yea, this is TRT related and not really about HRT I posted it in the wrong section it seems

Basically looking at blasting/cruising before but now think 2 cycles a year and PCT the rest of the year is the way to go for me

I also understand, my "cycle" is a bit low and most on here wouldn't consider anything below 250mg a week to be a proper TRT cycle

[kelkel]

Well, 200 mgs per week is really just high end TRT (or HRT = same thing.) So you're shutting down your HPTA for a replacement dose of test. Now, odds are it's more than you're producing naturally but I/we don't know your age or have current blood work to review. Take some time and read the Successful First Cycle thread at the top of the AAS Q & A Forum. It will help you greatly.

Ultimately if you think you need TRT then start reading the sticky threads at the top of this forum too please.

And welcome to the forum!
