Hi all,
I have a particular medical situation and I'm looking for some advice to get the most out of it. I hope some of the more experienced amongst you will have some good ideas.
So about the medical part: I've recently lost both testicles due to testicular cancer and am now dependent on HRT for preservation of, well, male characteristics. I've been taking transcutaneous testosterone (2% gel), 80 mg/day for about six months now and I'm not too unhappy with it. My plasma T levels are a steady 30nM or 850ng/dL which seems pretty ok.
I've been working out a lot during the past couple of months (initially as a coping mechanism), and have acquired a taste for it. At some the working out has become about gains, next to just fun (I figure most people here know what I'm talking about), and well, I want more ;-).
From what I've read I don't have much to lose by using AAS, so why not? My current goals are first to get rid of some body fat, so what would you recommend as a supplementation to the Test?
I was thinking of starting a Trenbolone Acetate cycle, with 50 mg EOD to start.
So to my questions:
Do I still even need to cycle? I mean, there isn't much natural androgen production to recover anymore. Or do you think there will be down-regulation of ARs along the way if I keep it up indefinitely? I imagine that my Hypothalamus/Pituitary is already out of whack with the artificial Test.
What is you opinion on the risks? I hope to keep the lipid profile somewhat in check with good nutrition. I've chosen Tren in particular to minimize effects on the prostate (I've had enough of cancer for a while). Anything else?
I'm curious about the sexual side-effects. Obviously sexy-time has been less than awesome sans balls, so I wonder what I should to minimize further problems. I've heard good things about proviron/mesterolone in that respect. Should I add it (50mgs) on date night? Or does it only work when taken continuously?
Hope you guys have some tips,
- J
