I’m on week 4 of test e cycle doing 375 mg of test e a week and starting to get acne around my mouth and getting paranoid of hair thinning I have nolvadex on hand was wondering if it’s safe to stop 4 weeks in and will I still excoerience a crash in libido ? Please help
If you stop you’ll still have acne for another six weeks, minimum. If your hair is thinning then the bad news is that it was going to thin anyway eventually. As far as libido goes, you’ll have the same problem you would (or would not) have had at the end of a full cycle. No one can predict how you will respond individually to a cycle or a pct.
I don’t mind the acne I’m producing now I’m just afraid of it getting Incredibly worst twhen I’m 8 weeks in as I had bad acne as a teen u think I should just stick it out and finish my 15 weeks I feel great so far
The acne calms down once you get to a more steady state. Or at least it does for most guys. You’re blasting hormones at your body right now, all kinds of things go haywire at first.
If the acne is the only side effect then I say stick it out. If you were having other more serious, non-cosmetic side effects I’d be more concerned.
My buddy got a prescription for an antibiotic that cleared up his issues. He said he will text the name to me. You may be able to get your hands on it. Or, can you go see an understanding dermatologist and have insurance pay for it? Some dr online said the achne is only a problem if it leads to scarring.
If I stop now will my hair go back to normal it just seems it got really fine these past few weeks or maybe I’m just looking at it too much
It kind of depends. Some guys are back to normal, some were slowly going bald already and that slow pace resumes after a cycle is done. The only difference is the speed at which they shed while on.

Both acne and hairloss runs in my family largely but I’ve kept those side effects to a bare minimum since starting cycle. I realized I must shower ATLEAST twice per day minimum. I always washed my back with a wash cloth using Dove or Ivory bar soap never no liquid soap for me because that type of soap all in itself causes me acne.
For a day or two my back was burning like crazy I could see and feel the back-acne growing LOL! Just a patch of red dots with like hard white heads popping out.
So I went to the store, went to the section that sells sponges for washing dishes. I bought a super rough Scotch Bright Pad that is on a handle so I could scrub my back really good. I lather that up really good with Dove Exfoliating Bar Soap and scrub the hell out of my back twice a day everyday. Since then I have not gotten any bit back-acne, I’ll get a weird pimple here and there but that happens to like everyone I think that uses AAS.
Just clean your skin multiple times a day using good soap and scrub moderately. Also make sure you’ve got fresh clean pillows, clean bed sheets and blankets as well as those places carry lots of bacteria.
As for hair loss, I’ve got some pretty bad genetics for it and I’ll probably be bald eventually but not for awhile. About 3-4 weeks in I noticed my hair was falling out quite a bit. I went to Walmart and bought a bottle of Nizoral shampoo and it’s seemed to have really helped either that stuff really helped me or my hormones leveled out. I use that twice a day in the shower I scrub deep into my scalp with it, trying to exfoliate dead skin cells and bring blood to the follicles with better circulation.
All in all my really good hygiene and my cleanliness is what attribute not getting acne to.

So u think if I just stick it out my hair will stop falling out and thinning ? Its thinning and I’m starting to notice my
Scalp more then when I started I know my dad started receding around my age it doesn’t look too bad now thinking I wanna keep it from getting worste
I don’t want to sound mean, but if your hair is falling out and you see scalp, other people notice it too. I see other people fighting the losing battle and i’ve fought it myself. At some point you have to let it go. There is one guy that has tattooed his scalp and line. Another does the horrible comb-over.
Being bald is badass (you can’t be fat). You have to own it though. And getting ready in the morning is a little bit easier.
The only thing that did help me greatly was accutane at 20mg/day for 6-8 weeks. Other than that hair loss is genetical from what I understand you would lose it anyway, just later on in life.
When I ran my fingers through my hair quite a bit of hair would fall out into my sink. Now it’s not bad whatsoever and I’m even taking anavar and now just started Masteron.
Lots of people in my family are bald. It’s OK to be bald. My brother was completely bald age 25. I assume you’ll be bald eventually like me, but this is something I weighed out in my decision to take gear before I ever took a shot.
