I've been away from these forums for a bit but still appreciate the members and quality content when I do comeback.
I'm researching a new cycle and wanted to get some feedback. I've ran a small oral only cycle a few years back and only got a place of effect. Two years ago I ran my first pin cycle and kept a pretty extensive log on here, you should be able to find it by my name.
I had very good success on that cycle and with only a small E2 scare in PCT, I came off cycle feeling great and kept a LOT of my size and weight....then I got sick.
I saw doctor after doctor and they couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. This was a few months after PCT, so I am not implying the illness was caused from the AAS. I was having bad digestion issues, appetite sunk low because I was having BM issues. After about a month of this it came to the point where I would have to have a BM anytime I stood up. My wife one day looked at me and said I looked pale and dehydrated. A trip to urgent care verified my dehydration, that they aren't equipped to treat, which brought me to the ER for an IV (that I never received after 3 hours in the ER and consuming mass amounts of water). I was referred to my GP who requested a colonoscopy and esophageal endoscopy, I was 36 years old. The test results were negative, they determined I must have had some form of infection that finally passed. The polyps they did find they biopsied and we're benign, and the esophageal endoscopy showed irritation from acid reflux and herniation of the duodenum.
Although this gave me peace of mind, I didn't feel 100% so I was cutting back on calories to avoid having to crap every hour. My weight began to drop a little but then I became depressed. I started a new job, stress set in, I drank too much, I made excuses.
That was two years ago, I maintained but have been in a fog, a funk for quite awhile now. I think the whole timing threw me off mentally as I'd just come off cycle, saw amazing progress and gains...only to watch a lot of those just go away due to the circumstances.
I take full responsibility for not taking action sooner, but sometimes that fog is just effing hard to come out of.
Which brings me to today.
My natural test was low before my cycle two years ago, around 280-320 (within range by my GP, however my energy, libido, and just overall good feeling if well-being) have been low since even before that cycle. My doctor wouldn't prescribe TRT since I was within range. I plan on getting bloods in the next few weeks, I already assume my natural test levels will still be low.
Which brings me here. I am free of the fog, I'm back hitting the weights again consistently, have my cardio and meals dialed in. I'm working with an amazing coach (who is open to AAS). I want to do a mild cycle, to try and take off some more fat and give me that better sense of well-being that low T takes away. I'm not looking to gain 30lbs of muscle in 16 weeks. I want realistic goals, realistic timeframe.
I still have on hand.
Test-E
Adex
Asin
Clen and Var (the wife's)
But I'm open to any suggestions. I've been reading up on NPP and EQ, however I'm not looking for a mass building cycle and don't want deca dick lol.
I ran Tudca and milk thistle last run and kept alcohol to almost zero during cycle, liver values stayed in range so I'll probably do the same. Looking back I did have a bit of moon face but I was running Dbol weeks 1-4 and it was potent, I mean lower back crippling potent.
I'm open to any ideas or suggestions. Thanks everyone and it feels great to be back.
