Doubt I’m sick sick.
I’m one of those guys that hardly ever get sick.
I quit drinking 6 years ago and I don’t think I’ve ever been sick since.
I do my injections at 7pm Mondays and Thursdays.
Last Monday I felt fine. Did the delt injection, went to sleep around midnight, woke up around 7am Tuesday feeling like the flu.
Fever, hot flashes, sweats, headache, BP was 151/80, lethargic.
Stayed in bed most of the day Tuesday, drank about a gallon of water. My eating was very poor that day.
Went to bed Tuesday night around 10pm, night sweats again.
Wednesday morning BP was a little lower but still high, massive headache and lethargic still. Went to work anyway. Started to feel a little better towards the afternoon/evening time. Thought it had passed.
Went to bed Wednesday night, night sweats all night, headache when I woke up today.
Decided to train anyway, had a shit session.
My libido was thru the roof a week ago, woke up with morning wood every day, tons of enegry.
Just feel like laying around all day now, and these headaches are getting old.
I’m not sure.
Unless my vail is bad, or the start of the nolva brought this on, if that’s even possible.
I will say that I’ve always been a over responder to everything I’ve ever taken.
1 10mg pain pill makes me extremely loopy/high. 1 Benadryl will make me sleep for 13 hrs. Caffeine puts my BP through the roof etc.
My previous/first cycle was 500mg test weekly and Masteron(forgot their dosage and can’t find my log book). My source at the time was making everything himself and he coached me throughout my cycle before I was using this board.
He did have me on adex E3D but they were capsules he had made himself so I have no clue as to the dosage, but I felt great the entire cycle until pct.
Only issue I ever ran into was acne near the end of the cycle, and noticed some of my hair starting to fall out which I read later could have been largely to do with the mast.
Thanks for the help studhammer, appreciate you trying to help me troubleshoot.
I’m gonna try dropping the nolva and add .25 adex on injection days for the next week or two and go back to glute injections. If everything goes back to norm I’ll keep the adex there and try another delt injection. Hopefully it’s not the nolva as that’s what I had planned to PCT with.
I think Mast works as an AI and you also took Adex. So it’s possible that you’re one of the types of people that genuinely needs an AI. Most guys here just recommend starting without as many folks don’t need it, but it’s not the end of the world if you do.
However, if you want to know for sure, go get a blood test now before you start the ai. Then you’ll have a decent idea at least! It will help you also if you plan to run future cycles.
Cycle looks good and I agree with some of the other members don’t just run an AI for the sake of running one. I don’t personally run Nolva either as I have always done blood tests prior to the start of the course, half way through the course and then post PCT and obviously adjust any drugs if bloods come back with abnormalities.
That’s just how I do things, but if you don’t have access to getting bloods done then run Nolva as a preventive measure and if estrogen related sides become to severe then swap out the Nolva for an AI to lower estrogen levels.
Don’t get discouraged brother. There was nothing like the first cycle for me either. Sounds like you gained and retained a lot of mass the first time. That’s a good thing but those additional pounds are harder to come by now. Don’t listen to your “friends” pushing the hard stuff on you either. Do what you’re comfortable with. How is your composition? Is that improving along with the minimal weight gain?
Hey fellas just wanted to touch base and maybe get a little advice.
So I finished this cycle. I ran it for 15 weeks.
Later in the cycle I bumped things up a bit.
Fished up @750 test e/ 600eq weekly.
212lbs, didn’t see much in size but did recomp a little.
Instead of pct’ing right away like the first time. I started cursing at the advice of friend.
Started cruising on 200mg cyp once weekly.
Currently on week 8 of the cruise, not really having a good time with energy levels. Pretty tired most of the day. Very bad shoulder acne that started at around week 14 on my blast. It actually seems worse now. I’ve been trying adex E3d at .25 last 4 weeks thinking my e2 was high but I still feel the same and acne hasn’t gotten any better.
I grabbed my new vials today and realized when I got home that it’s sus250. I’m thinking maybe once a week pinning isn’t gonna cut it anymore.
Wondering if I should pin more often now or just pct with nolva.
@mr.kaption
You are probably doing more harm than good using the Anastrozole when only doing 200mg/week. 4 weeks after cycle (when you started the AI) you were probably just getting into the 200mg/week levels and your body needs time to adjust. When I went from 160mg/week to 185mg/week it took about 7-8 weeks for me to start feeling as good and then eventually better than I felt at 160mg. Using the Anastrozole with such a small dosage of T before your body is used to the new levels isn’t optimal. If I were you I’d drop it and give it a month and I’d bet you feel better.
I discontinued the use of adex. I really don’t feel like pinning 3 times a week with sus and kinda pissed off my source keeps selling me his old stuff he doesn’t want anymore so I’m just gonna come off the cruise and pct with nolva.
My last pin was on 3/16, 200mg test cyp.
I’ve been taking 10mg nolva daily while on cycle and during trt. Should I keep taking it or stop and wait for pct to start taking again?
40/40/20/20 within nolva still the protocol?
When should I start pct? This will be my first pct with nolva, I used clomid last time and it was a nightmare.
