First cycle log Test C only

Hey everyone! After watching discussions for a while, I finally took the plunge and did my first injection of Test C about 5 minutes ago. It was a breeze, went smoothly into the ventrogluteal spot with a 24G needle.

I'm waiting on my Aromasin, Nolva, and Clomid to arrive, so for now, I'm keeping things simple and starting with just Test C.
Here's the plan:

Weeks 1-4: 200 mg/week
Weeks 5-8: 300 mg/week
Weeks 8-16: 400 mg/week

I also have NPP, Anadrol, and anavar, but I might consider those for my next cycles.

Any thoughts on the gradual increase? I'm capping it at 400 mg per week for my first cycle, even though some suggest starting lower. Appreciate any advice!

I'm currently taking 350mg of Testo C per week and it's working really well for me. My testosterone levels went from 8 to 52, which is great progress. I'd advise against following advice suggesting higher doses like 500 or 600mg for a first cycle.

It's important to be patient and wait for the AI (aromatase inhibitor) to come into effect. My estrogen levels shot up initially, but thanks to Aromasyn and Novaldex, I managed to quickly bring it under control.

Learning proper injection techniques is crucial. Also, don't be surprised if you don't feel immediate changes in the first couple of weeks. Make sure to eat more than usual and gradually increase the weights at the gym to avoid injuring your ligaments.

Before starting, get a blood test and continue getting them every 4 weeks. This is your first cycle, so it's essential to understand how your body responds."

I hope this helps!

If your estrogen is high before your menstrual cycle, it might continue to increase during it. It's good to check levels both before and during your cycle, around 4-5 weeks apart. When your testosterone increases, it's normal for estrogen levels to rise too. For example, 52nmol/L is approximately equal to 1500ng/dL.
