Sorry for the long-ish post, cliffs at the bottom if anyone's too lazy to read.
So this past summer I decided to try my first aromatizing IM injection cycle. I have done a few oral cycles before, mainly consisting of var with proper PCT, but nothing too drastic. I've always responded very well to lower doses (I'm not a very big guy, under 200lbs and 6ft) and shorter cycles of AAS, but I figured it was time to bring out the big (relative) guns and do things right with test.
I was on 400mg Test-e for 5 weeks (and 400mg Test-P, in two doses/wk, for two weeks preceding this, as I didn't want to wait for the Enanthate ester to do it's thing). I also took my remaining Anavar for weeks 3 and 4 at 50mg/day just to clear it out of my medicine cabinet.
That's it. I had great results.
I had nipple sensitivity and water retention on the cycle so I started taking a dose of aromasin every day, which combatted it a bit... I'm worried I was having issues with other hormones, such as progesterone or prolactin as 25mg of aromasin should have dealt with E2 sides.
For PCT I did a month long bomb clomid course of 100/50/50/25 and I stayed on aromasin for the first week, reducing the dose to e5d for the remaining three.
That was almost 3 months ago. And I still feel very different, hormonally. For starters, I'm getting chest and face acne, like crazy. It started mid cycle and has continued. I haven't dealt with this in over 8 years, since I was 17 or so, and even then it wasn't this bad. My face is incredibly oily all the time, I wash it several times a day with water and a clean paper towel. My beard and chest hair is much thicker as well now too.
Sexually, well, the libido has been a roller coaster ride as well. I recently started dating someone who is, IMHO, the most attractive woman I've been with to date - and I'm just not interested in sex that often. On cycle it was crazy, an explosive sex drive. During PCT I resorted to liquicia and PT-141 just to get it up... I'm still using both of these products regularly, months later. My ability to get it up is much better, though I'm almost indifferent to the idea of doing it. I've never had issues in this area.
Emotionally, I'm very aggressive and very easily aggravated. I'm not normally like this, so I keep it under control... But it's not always easy. My lifts didn't suffer in the slightest after my cycle either, In-fact, I've been able to keep up or increase my PR's each week... I've put on weight during PCT as well, Something that's never happened before after a cycle IME.
Bloodwork shows Free-T levels in the mid 500s, which is actually good for me as I was low-T for a long time without knowing it. No other issues with liver enzymes, and I wasn't covered for E2 testing.
So, wtf is wrong with me? Any takers on this one? I know it's long, but this is causing me a bunch of distress, which honestly, likely contributes to the issue considering the powers of placebo
Cliffs:
Did a T-P, T-E and Var cycle with proper PCT over 3 months ago.
Had major issues with androgen sides like oily skin and more active hair follicles.
Still have major libido issues.
Emotionally, I feel very different.
