Thrombophlebitis

[OnceNatty]

Around 8 years ago, I tried to go on my first cycle. I was planning 300mg test per week...150 every 3.5 days.
After just 3 pins, I got shallow clots in both inner thighs (thrombophlebitis)
I stopped immediately, saw a Dr, went on a heavy dose of Ibuprophen for 10 days and it cleared up.

I'm wanting to try again but obviously have some concerns.
What are the chances it was just bad gear? Am I crazy to try this again? Would it make any difference if I started at 100mg per week for a few weks to test the waters?
Thoughts?

More than likely it was a bad carrier oil, because that can cause inflammation. And also could have been contaminated. We can’t give sources here, but it’s best to stick with reputable, well reviewed sources. And 300 to 400 is a good first cycle… nothing wrong with that.

I'm hoping so; or some reaction to that particular oil and not the test. I'd really like to be able to cycle. My current source is using this exact product he'll get me so it should be good.
Thanks

NOT if it's the carrier oil, he might not be allergic to something that you might be allergic to. Are you allergic to coconut oil? MCT, grape seed oil and cottonseed are probably the three most common carrier oils. MCT the most common in the past few years. But castor oil, sesame oil and even olive oil are used to make gear. If it was the high dose garbage like test 400 you likely were reacting to solvents, ethyl oleate could also be the issue. You could be sensitive to BA or BB as well

Honestly, testosterone is probably the only thing that's not the problem. It's much more likely to be a carrier, solvent or contaminated products

That's great to hear! Gives me a little more hope.
