Hey there,
I plan to run a first steroid cycle of Testosterone E. I am not sure of how long I should plan to be on. I have the following things at home:
Arimidex 90x1 mg
Tamoxifen 100x 20 mg
Clomid 40x 50 mg
Cabergoline 20x2 mg
Testosterone E 50 ml
HGH 1'200 iu (generic, but all fine, tested it out for 3 weeks)
Finasteride 60x 5 mg
HCG 15'000 iu
When I was a teenager, I had pretty bad acne (primarily in my face) and treated it with Roaccutane (1.5 years). Today, it is not much of a problem anymore.
Cycle Plan
starting out with 250 mg e5d (first 2 months at least) -> then maybe increase to 300-350 e5d
including 0.25 mg of Arimidex (e2d) to have Estrogen under control
(maybe Finasteride @0.5mg daily) to have DHT unter control
blood is planned to be done 3 weeks after first injection (DHT, estrogen, testosterone, prolactin and liver/kidney etc.), and then going-forward all 6 weeks and of course 8 weeks after PCT (LH/FSH, Testosterone, Estrogen, Prolactin)
PCT (12 days after last injection)
(maybe HCG 4 weeks before PCT, @ 250 iu e3.5d)
Nolvadex 20mg for 6 weeks
Clomid 100 mg for 1 week, 50 mg for 3 weeks
no more Arimidex
3g of Vitamin C daily
Questions:
1) Do I have to worry about gyno when using Arimidex 0.25 mg e2d? Or should I maybe only do e3d 0.25mg? (might be enough for 250 e5d)
2) I hear a lot of negative things about the use of finasteride. However, I've also read that in low doses @ around 0.6 mg (ed) it helps to reduce DHT by around 40-50%. Wouldn't this measure also help against hair loss and acne? What do you think about using finasteride only on cycle to bring DHT to normal ranges during cycle?
3) As I plan to do around 8 weeks of 250 e5d (as a start), how long should my cycle in total be? I thought of everything between 3 - 7 months (7 be the upper limit). If I'd do more than 3 months, however, I would slightly increase dosage of Test E over time. What do you thing is the best option for me in terms of length? My HPTA will be screwed anyway and I will have to do PCT, so therefore it makes sense in my eyes to stay on as long as possible or as long as recovery in PCT is not critically affected?
4) Should I use HCG while on cycle? If yes, I would plan to do 250 iu twice a week, but should I inject HCG from the beginning or only 4 weeks before the last injection in order to bring testicles back to normal size?
5) What is the difference in after-cycle regeneration when you do 3 months instead of 7? Is there anyone with experience? I mean, in general it is of course the case that the longer the cycle - the longer the body needs to recover for your own testosterone level. But after what length of cycle is recovery in PCT critically affected? What is the optimum spot? 4 months?
