Nervous and excited for first cycle

[Xoomd]

Well, everything has arrived in the mail, and I will be starting my first cycle today. Managed to get everything legally.

Planning on Test C 125mg every 3.5 days, for a total of 250 a week. HCG 250 a week while on cycle, and the first two weeks of pct. Clomid 12.5mg every day for two weeks beginning one week after last pin. All in all looking at 8 weeks on test, about 3 weeks pct. Will get bloods done at the conclusion of pct.

Have accutane, finasteride, and an AI on hand in case of any sides. However, I would assume any sides would be unlikely with the beginner level dose.

I know this is a fairly mild run, but I want to keep things as simple as possible as I get used to this.

Any comments / questions / concerns are entirely welcome!

You’re going thru a trt clinic and obtained everything with a script?

 

[Xoomd]

Yep! My bloodwork was decently lackluster, 380 test, and I was very upfront with them about my goals.

 

[Poppy]

You’ll free great on that amount of test. That’s my trt. 125 cyp e3d.

Please keep us posted. Maybe start a log if you have time.

 

[Poppy]

I do have questions. Not bashing or needling you.

If you’re on trt… why only 8 weeks?

How old?

 

[John]

Well I feel excited for you @Xoomd

Generally HCG is stopped before taking clomid. Also 12.5 is super low for clomid. No nolvadex with your PCT? Not trying to part you apart just curious

 

[Poppy]

I just reread your post. I’m being a big goob today.

You’re not on trt but actually cycling with plans on pcting off.

Sorry buddy. Happy for you. Keep us posted.

What @Poppy said… if you’re test is at 380 probably worth staying on TRT indefinitely. You already have low test. A “successful” pct would bring you back to your original range. 380 and feeling like shit again lol

 

[JLee]

Just re read this. You have Low T and have been prescribed test but you don’t plan on staying on?

 

[Poppy]

@Stretch22 @JLee

Brought up good points brother. Your t was low… not terrible but low. When you pct back, that’s about where you’re end up. Have you considered just staying on trt and maybe running a cycle once a year or so.

I understand this is your first time and that’s cool. Just some stuff to ponder.

 

[Xoomd]

They send 6 months worth of supply at a time. If I were to take it exactly as prescribed it would just be a constant 200mg. If I take it in blocks with pauses between then I would have enough supply to do 250+mg at a time with breaks in between. I just turned 27.

 

[Xoomd]

I would prefer nolvadex honestly, but the company I’m going through only offers Clomid, and I’m not certain of a reputable source of nolvadex.

 

[Xoomd]

That’s sort of what I’m feeling on the fence about. I know my test is low, but I don’t really have symptoms of low test. I’m really truly doing this just for the gains. Would the prescribed 200mg be enough for good gains? Most posts I see of people doing just test are at the minimum 250mg. That was the rationale for cycling was to be having enough supply

 

[Stratfordave]

Just stay on the 200 mgs per week… you will see way more benefits then only blasting 250 and going off. Commit yourself to a full year of great eating, training, and the prescription dosage and you’ll be happy. If you want to supplement with additional testosterone down the road, plenty of good sponsors here to inquire with after you get your feet wet.

 

[Xoomd]

I appreciate that advice. Now that you mention it really does make more sense to just cruise at 200mg and not have to worry about pct or anything. Then I’m a few months see if I want to increase. I’m sure the extra 50mg wouldn’t have made me into Ronnie Coleman.

 

[JLee]

I agree with @Stratfordave @Stretch22 . Stay on, keep everything nice and level. You will still make gains. Also all the sponsors here are top notch so if you decide to add some stuff in down the road you can do so with out worries.

 

[Xoomd]

Also, as a noob is, I am curious, I am pain $120 for
|Testosterone Cypionate 200mg/mL, 10mL (Compounded|. This includes shipping. Is this generally a decent price?

 

[woodwalker1889]

Is there a local trt clinic nearby or a endocrinologist? Typically locally is cheaper than through the mail.

 

[Poppy]

Hard to say about prescriptions. The mail order clinics tend to be way higher. My 6 month supply from doc after insurance is 30 bucks. Now that’s only 100mg a week. That’s all local.
