Yeah I completely agree.... More is not better and there are def effects ... For a female I ran the dose on "high" end. Wrapping my mind around that is tough .. Had I done 5mg I doubt I'd have the same progress or problems lol I mean side effects I had. Everything has been bareable but this is def a dangerous zone to get into ESP being a female and I think safety is key.
I felt a female log was important bc there is so much conflict with information and tons of misinformation. I read about men recommending their gf 25mg a day to start and even my male friends said that. Had I not done research I wonder what would have happened but IMO that's just way too much even 12.5 mg was a lot for me. I really thing 15mg would be tops.

What a day.... Just an FYI ... So I woke up today super bloated I mean pop belly and all. I was confused as to why I looked like I had a little pregnant belly. Anyways as the day went on I got my period, not a normal one though. Not enough for a tampon, not enough for a pad. Enough for a panty liner. Plus I had really bad constipation. Yes I know its effen disgusting. They say that's normal on your period and a side of var so what happens when the two happen at the same time... A pop belly. I'll def be increasing my fiber intake yet again this week. I just hope I have no additional surprise like last month where it was playing hide and go seek and then it would come back like it was playing a joke on me.
Strength wise I did squats on the smith machine and I was able to do a 140lbs that's by far the most I've done with squats and that's not really so etching I worked out too much before on cycle even though my legs are pretty strong but I would 50lbs maybe 70lbs if that. That's going into my most improved category right there.

Hey Electra, fantastic log! Thanks for posting your experience. I have been reading up on female cycles, and there is just soooo much conflicting information.
Sorry if I missed it, but did you start at 12.5mg/ day or you built up to that? Did you split your dose? I guess this would be your 5th week, how long are you running it for?
I'm super curious how you make out with the nolvadex , please keep us updated!
-
Yes I started there and I split the dose one in the morning one a few hours before bed. I am in the middle of my fifth week and I have not started nolvadex, my plans are to taper down to 5mgs of anavar then start the novladex so by the end of January I should be starting that. I def will. I keep learning as I read and as I go through this because honestly I feel like I've gained a world of knowledge from this experience. It's one thing to research it and have thoughts about potential outcomes and to actually live it and see it. It's motivating and challenging at the same time but I think it is worth it with proper planning.
What I can say:
1. Proper planning is needed
2. Expect sides at the dosage level I'm taking
3. Know how to deal with it
4. Stick to the diet and work out regimine that you've had
5. Set realistic expectations.. Not that you're going to look like a supermodel and lose bodyfat from a pill
6. Expect muscle growth and hardening
7. Expect people to say things about how you look different
8. Expect new people to say "are you an athlete?" I get that like 6 times a day now
6. People will ask you for advise like you have an exercise science MBA
7. You get irritable at times
8. Youre going to be tired all the time even with numerous amounts of green tea
9. Say goodbye to you're nightlife. It doesn't exist on cycle, you want results, it allows you to push yourself harder and youre going to feel your body fein for recovery... So a Saturday night date with your mattress and pillow is to die for
10. Don't drink... I had two glasses on nye got sick and went to sleep... A waste... Hence what I said about nightlife lol
11. Your period is not your friend on cycle... It's your enemy and it goes and comes like a sneak attack... I'm not kidding one bit
12. Fiber... Constipation sucksssss
13. Work out harder than you think you can... I keep adding weight and for some reason I end up lifting way more than I ever imagined so DON'T ASSUME!
14. Acne happens a little bit
15. Buy a pack a fresh razors... Your hairs on steroids too... Forget shaving every other day, be prepared for a nightly ritual
16. Don't be that dumb person that thinks steroids literally burn fat
17. Don't be mad if you don't look like an editorial model, you're not suppose to look sick and thin
18. Your breast disappear and they go faster than another body part. Say goodbye and have money for implants you're going to need them b.c you end up looking flat chested... At least back pain is no longer a problem.
19. Some guys will wonder how you're lifting more... Your answer should be genetics not anavar
20. Don't entertain bullshit on steroids b.c. It's a great aid to help you achieve your goals just stay focused and ignore the outside world ESP if it is not needed.
21. The success you have during a cycle is not a the steroid it's you, so reread the above do homework and then when you fully understand and are aware of what you Re getting yourself into... Then decide to sign up for the steroid train or walk away.
Why do I stress that.... When I did my research I read a really heart wrenching story that literally broke my heart for this girl. She was on anti steroid forum... Why was I there... Well I wanted to be well informed and I didn't want biased information but lets be real the world we live in is biased. So I decided to find sources where I could get the good sides and a,place to find the bad sides. Anyway besides that, I read this girl she was 20years old at the time had a boyfriend who did bodybuilding and got her involved, she was having a hard time building muscle so he got her some primo and var. she stacked low dosages at 5mg each 2x a day, she did a cycle looked great and felt great... It wasn't until after cycle she noticed a change.... The change was in her voice... She was a singer and she was attending a performing arts school because she wanted to be an opera singer and she could no longer hit the high notes anymore bc her voice would crack. That change impacted her whole life And she decided to attend a different school and a different major. Her dream was shattered. Reading her story I felt for her because her dream wasn't bodybuilding it was singing. Steroids really isn't for anyone. The athlete, the person with a dream that deals with physiques is willing to take on those risks, a singer or an editorial model... Not so much.
Whatever you do... Do your homework first especially before making a definite decision.

Excellent post Electra! I should have stated that I have done var before, 5mg for 3 weeks, then 10mg ED for 3, total of 6 weeks. That was about a year ago. I just started my 2nd cycle today. I started with 10mg ED and am going from there.
You're bang on with that info!
Can't wait to hear how the nolvadex works for you

Basically a week left into my cycle... At this point my body is changing as fast as it was orginally but I feel like I'm getting "harder" I'm def getting stronger everyday! I absolutely love it! I'm almost sad it's done so soon. I've basically covered... The side effects, the challenges, the benefits, the risks, obviously my experience, "the unforeseen" hide and go seek period.
At this point all I really have left to share other than progress is what I learned and what Im taking away from this...
1. I can push myself much more than I thought I can
2. Discipline is crucial to success ... To see results
3. Emotionally... The changes were tough to deal with and scary hence I can see why females sometimes stop a cycle but I learned I was able to with stand the adversity
4. Var wasn't the determining factor in my success, just there to aid it
5. It tough to stay awake on this stuff lol
6. Fighting my odd cravings was sooo hard
7. Females using aas is very very different than when a male uses aas.
8. I believe pct for females
That's all folks.... For today at least. Night

Sounds like you had a good go with it Did you record your measurements before your cycle? Any before/after pics?
Thanks for taking your time to share this

One week left... Today was great. I did upper body and I didn't increase the weight this week. I worked out with a lot more intensity and at a faster rate. I was surprised at my performance and lack of fatigue. Not that I'm complaining lol. It's all good news in my book.

Gw taper up to 10mg morning and 10mg at night
Nolvadex 10 mg morning 10mg at night no tapering

Thanks yeah I thought it was important bc when I was researching female use over the past few months before I even decided to start cycling I found so much conflicting thoughts, not enough detailed experiences, things were way to vague so I decided I was going to do a detailed log of the good and bad and try to be as in depth as possible. I'm glad to see the other females getting involved too, I think it helps everyone out.

Today pct starts I'll let you know how this goes
