Balls, shrinking, and not shrinking

[burnthiscorpse]

My last cycle a few months ago was the first one in 8 years. Within 3.5 weeks my nuts were like raisins.
Now, just 5 weeks into my next cycle, my nuts havnt shrunk that much. Maybe still 2/3 normal size.
Any special reason for this? and.....noooooo , my gear isnt bunk.

Are you taking an AI during this cycle.

Some people experience only light atrophy when using AI's consistently on cycle.

Obviously HCG does this as well, but also tricks your body into thinking LH is still being produced... This is why even though you might not atrophy while taking an AI, it is still important to use HCG or HMG which fools your body into thinking it never stopped producing its own LH.

Sometimes lighter cycles can be less supressive thus less atrophy... I don't find this to be the case too often.

My bet is that you are using an AI, right?

I'm not using an AI bro. I dont get gyno.

Last cycle was prop 100mg eod for like 8 weeks then 600mg test E and 200mg of deca with the prop for 3 weeks. I was about to drop the prop and continue another 7 weeks just E and deca but I injured my knee and had surgery.

This cycle is 600mg test E wk 100-150mg deca wk for joint hrt. Added dbol 2 weeks ago at only 15mg ED. Gettin more and upping it to 25 mg ed for another 4 weeks. Also plan to up the deca to 300 in the next month or so.

Interesting my friend...

I've run lower dosed cycles in the past without major atrophy... Like 350mg test per week.

I wish I had an answer for you...

I'd say you're just lucking out this time , but since you do notice some atrophy, I would jump on low dose HCG during the cycle to keep everything normal, and so you'll have an easier recovery afterwards...
