So what's the point of running test-e only first then? I thought it was to see how you react to just test since it's usually a base, so that there's no side effects from other compounds. If it's such a crapshoot then why bother?

There may be a misunderstanding.. I've used it once before already and I'm asking if I can expect to respond to it the same way if I do it again

So you're saying every cycle of testosterone could be different? I'm talking about test specifically

I don't think I am. I'm asking a question that some people may be able to answer based on experience. I am simply asking if the first cycle is a good predictor of how you react to test or if it changes each time.

That doesn't really answer my question though. My question was whether or not hair effects vary cycle to cycle or if I would have noticed a change the first time around. We know that it's genetic.

I ran 500mg of test-e/week for 16 weeks. I was concerned with hair issues and while I think I may have thinned while on cycle a bit, all over my head, after being off for a while my hair seems to be as it was before cycling. Should I be fine in the future for running another cycle of test or is...

Yeah I know it just speeds up the inevitable. I'm 30 years old and didn't have really any receding or thinning prior. It does run on my mom's side of my family but not every male showed it and nobody lost all of their hair. In my case, no facial hair changes really, I still have some patches, no...

So nobody knows what the "symptoms" of AAS-induced hair loss would be? Like what I would be experiencing? I know it's genetics. I just don't know if I HAVE those genetic traits and that's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm 12 weeks in, my hair seems to look the same.

I expected to notice a change in 12 weeks, yes.

How long is the normal consensus? Aren't some cycles only 12 weeks to begin with?

For a while I couldn't tell if I was shedding hair on 500mg/week of test-e or just looking more for hair loss and finding it since I was becoming neurotic about it. I'm on week 12 and in the mirror my hair doesn't look different from what I can tell, both in terms of hairline and thickness, but...

Do you have any opinion of ru58841? Why wouldn't you wanna be big and strong with hair if you can?

That's the age-old response on these forums. I get it, some people don't care about going bald. I do care, my appearance matters to me. AAS also enhances my quality of life. I only live once, I feel as though I have the right to try to have both if possible, I don't think it's much to ask even...

I know people lose hair either way as new hair grows, and those of us with thicker hair lose even more, but how do you differentiate between hair loss from AAS and just shedding normally? Now that I'm on cycle I'm more neurotic about it, notice I have hair on my hands in the shower, but...

I got nervous and changed to 12.5mg asin EOD instead of E3D by taking a dose last night. Another forum said that it could be the beginning of gyno. Should I hold back? My nips do feel a bit itchy at times but I'm not sure if that was from rubbing against my shirt either. It does seem like E3D...
