Prepared but hesitant

[Pantalones]

I'm prescribed 200 mg of test cyp a week for weight loss-induced hypogonadism that never resolved itself. Although I'm prescribed 200, I only do 100 mg injections a week because it puts me where I need to be..but I've always thought the extra that I save from doing this would make for a nice cycle, and I do have enough for one. I also have some tren that I had planned on using soon, but I'm a little hesitant because some things have come up. Overall, my life is stable right now..no real stressors and I could definitely put up with the tren sides without getting burnt out. I have the time to put into a quality cycle, however I'm dealing with some shit health wise..or so I think.

Recent labs are good, they'd say I'm healthy and g2g

WBC all good
RBC good again

Despite a good looking BW, I've lost about 10 lbs in the last year, and my appetite's been a little diminished lately. I'm not as strong or as big as I was after my first year on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and I'm thinking I've hit some sort of a wall with testosterone and am experiencing diminished returns..I want to switch it up for awhile and then work to maintain the gains I make.

I've attached some pics, and honestly I don't know. I'd say I'm in good shape physically and mentally, but I'd like some opinions.

Wouldn't hop on until your diet is perfect.

Yeah, this is where I still have some improving. I've got a solid workout plan, and yeah I get all the necessary nutrients but not always in the right amounts. A little tweaking and that will be in check though. As far as size though?

If you have your testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose down and overall feel good on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), you can try tren. Have you ever blasted while on trt?

I would go with some ace if I were you and maybe try it out for 4-6 weeks at a low dose around 100mg eod. You need to have something to combat prolactin sides. Your bw looks good and you seem healthy, so you can give it a try. It will help you put on some lean mass and hopefully get some of your weight back.

In terms of diminished returns from your testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), have you increased you testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose to see if that affects weight gain? What happens when you increase your calories?

As far as a blast goes, I've never tried. I was doing the 200mg a week but didn't really notice any improvements. My appetite has been diminishing significantly, but I can still shovel food down so that's good. I've been getting cramps, excessive gas and abnormal bowel movements lately so I'm thinking it may be something gastrointestinal.
I have tren e already so ace isn't an option, but I do have caber on hand for prolactin. Upping my calories I can gain weight but not the way I was able to my first year on TRT. I could eat whatever and it'd go straight to muscle mass, now its a little muscle a little fat maybe, definitely not in the same ratio as before. I almost started to think it was my bodies inability to cleave the cypionate ester but that's just nonsense. I think a little cycle would do me some good though.

If it is gastrointestinal, the weight loss may not be as surprising as you think. I'd try to get a stool sample, colonoscopy, and possibly an egd if I were you. You could also get a cat scan of the abdomen and chest before the others to make sure there isn't anything abnormal going on. Have you left the country (assuming you're from US) in the last couple of years? The chances of a parasite being in your system goes up significantly if you may have gone to another country.

Before, you blast make sure there is nothing abnormal in your body. Tren is great, I've used it recently and loved it. I didn't experience too bad of sides like the one's most people experience, but I was on a low dose.

I haven't ever left the US, but shit I work as a CNA and deal with other people's feces all the time. Do my symptoms warrant enough evidence for a doc to look further? Hardest part is always convincing doctors you have good reason for a test.
