    First Cycle Log

    Hi Guys,

    After a lot of planning / thinking and researching I've finally started my First ever cycle on Sunday. I took the first shot on Sunday and Second Shot today. Will keep posting about my stats/ diets and exercise on daily basis. Here are my stats :


    Age : 32 Years
    Experience : 4th year
    Weight : 194 LBS
    Height : 5,10

    Protocol :

    - 250 mg test e , Sunday , Wednesday
    - 0.25 mg arimidex every day
    - 250 iu HCG Monday, Thursday


    For HCG I was unable to find Sterlie vial here. So I mixed 2 ml of Bac water into the same vial that has the HCG powder. So now I've 2500 IU per ml. I am using 10 points of 100 IU insulin syringe. Please guide me if I am wrong here.


    Thank you,

    Hit the diet section and post your diet with macros.Many a cycle was ruined due to bad diets.Your 1st cycle is your best so you want everything to be right.Good luck!

    Do your log here, MEMBER'S CYCLE RESULTS

    I would drop your AI to .25 eod. And adjust as need, you should be pulling bloods at 7-8 wk mark so you will know then. Of course if your using too much AI or not enough you will know before you get mid cycle bloods because of sides from E2.

    If you got pre cycle bloods that will help you alot.

    I've a bit high level of estrogen before the cycle it was 36 and after second day of my injection my face was bloated that's why I changed my protocol to 0.25 mg every day.

    Had the third pin today and freaked out a bit .. I snapped the ampule .. filled the syringe .. cleaned the location on right thigh with alcohol .. injected the 24 x 1 inch syringe into my thigh .. aspirate and pushed.. everything went as planned. After few secs when i pulled the needle back .. there was blood every where.. I have never imagined that much blood can come out. Luckily it got stopped within few secs but man that was terrible. I am thinking to start using 1.5 inch needle. Apart from this nothing special till now.

    it happens when you nick a vein. That's the only reason I keep a cotton ball handy. I put it right on the injection site when the pin comes out. With the pressure on it like that you will avoid the mess

    I've been using bayer testoviron depot 250 mg . Today I read its leaflet its saying :

    1 ml Testoviron Depot 250 mg contains 250 mg testoserone enanthate ( the equivalent of about 180 mg testosterone ) in oily solution ?

    Is it underdose ? I am only taking 2 ml every week.

    Everything has been good. Three weeks ended. Already can see some results, I am almost lifting 10%-15% more weight on every exercise. Also I don't want to stop working out even after i finish all my exercises for the day. Diet is also good. One thing that I noticed is my testicles are shrinking. I am already taking HCG on Monday / Thursday every week 250 iu . Shall I increase the dosage to Monday, Thursday and Sat every week ?

    It's not underdose that's the case with all test-e. It has something to do with the ester. I think 100mg test-e gives you 70mg testosterone. Only 100mg of test susp gives you 100mg of testosterone because it has no ester.

    Are you cutting? First cycle with no carbs is a waste IMO.

    Think test is enough for 1st cycle, but if you need to do it do it at the end. Again would look at diet first.

    Yes you are right. I didn't want to be super huge :\ but I am going to add some good amount of carbs from now.

    Alright will save it for my next cycle

    Also, waiting for after the pin is a good rule of thumb to take your AI dose... day after pin or day of works well... when getting mid cycle bw done its best to draw the blood at your trough(say 3 days after your last pin b4 going in... all these things can impact your readings as well... GL OP!

    Its amazing to see the gains in just 6 weeks with just 500 mgs test e per week wondering what other compounds are capable to do. I am really glad to see my body growing in front of me.. Already gained 9 lbs :\ my shirts are starting to shrink specially because of shoulders and chest.. No side effects at all except my balls are bit shrinked .. overall I am feeling really great..

    Started to get some acne at the end of 8th week. I've been always acne free person so i got few spots on my arms and back. Started taking Zinc, L-cartnine and taking shower two times with hot water and scrub my back real well with lofa using oil cleaning face wash. The acne is gone completely in 2 days. Feeling a bit sad the cycle is going to end in 3 weeks, till now it has been a life changing experience in positive way

    Done with the last injection of 10th week yesterday. Went for blood work. LH and FSH are gone completely. Was really thinking something is wrong with my HCG since my balls were shrinking. Bought a pregnancy testing strip and it confirmed the HCG from the vial has been gone long .. arghhh feeling so frustrated.


    Anyways bought a new vial for HCG going to use that now. I inject 500 iu today instead of 250 IU. Since I am in 10th week any suggestion for dosage ?

    Also my Estrogen are still pretty high 52 pg/ml. I m going to start using AI every day.

    Keep using 250ui twice a week.

    HCG will not raise your LH or FSH.

    Done with the last injection on last Wednesday. Going to wait for 2 weeks. Will be running AI 0.25 mg ED till then. After that my PCT will be as follows :

    Clomid 100/100/50/50

    Nolva 40/40/20/20


    Very happy with the cycle results.

    Please let me know if my PCT can be improved in any way ?

    Too much clomid, its better this way:

    Clomid: 75/50/50/50

    Nolva: 40/20/20/20

    Make sure its pharma clomid and nolva, not ugl.

    Hey ahm I’ve been considering a cycle of my own for quite some time. Congrats on you first cycle and your gains! I was wondering if the injections were painful usually? Also how much of your gains did you keep after pct?
