I've started and anavar only cycle 40mg ED 10mg dose spaced out evenly though out the day.
I'm 22 years old, 5'7, weighed 165lbs before my cycle. One week into my cycle i now weigh 172lbs. Guess i wasn't near my natural limit yet....

I chose anavar because i wanted to "test the waters" when it came to AAS, I'm not scared of needles, just scared of side effects
You're experiencing sides now right?. When i started Var i knew it would eventually shut down my natural test, but i didnt realize it would be painful, and happen this early into my cycle. I realize many people are agianst oral only cycles, but so far i"m making amazing gains and dramatic weight gain.
AAS works bro.
My testicles are hurting. From the research I've done, I've learned that this is my natural test shutting down
Yes you're right, along with testicular atrophy. Is this true?
Yes you'll atrophy some as your nuts shut down Some say anavar will barely/slowly shut u down, yet i've found other posts about people reporting testicular soreness early into their anavar only cycle. Should I ride it out? Get some HCG? End my cycle?
I would end it now, do a PCT and research on how to do a cycle
Others have also told me that the only reason I'm gaining weight is because the anavar is in my system along with my natural test, and that once my natural test shuts down my gains will come to a screeching halt. Any advice on this?
Your gains will slow or stop and you'll loose most of them after you end the var because your natural test levels will be low. PCT will help
For those that want to recommend adding testosterone, I'd like to say that I'm not ready for that serious of a cycle yet, (well then you shouldnt have started a cycle in the first place)
Looks like you had the answer before you started bro My diet and workout is on point, but i dont want to have to worry about aromatizing steroids. Anavar seems like my best option for my goals.
Also, since anavar doesn't aromatize, will my body be void of estrogen once my natural test shuts down? I've been told that anavar is harmful because since it doesn't aromatize, while shutting down natural test, my body won't have any sources of estrogen. Any advice on this?
One last question, would dosing all my anavar in the morning, eleviate stress on my HPTA?
No i read this in another thread, but it sounds like bro science. SOmething to do with the half life of anavar only being 8 hours
Thanks for the help in advance, I know I should have done more research,
Yes but you can stop now and research on how to cycle correctly but let's be honest, idiots never know they're idiots.
