Uh, according to Bill Llewellen(sp?) deca is the BEST choice for women, mg/mg as far as fewest side effects.
All that other stuff about small doses of winny and anavar and all the other crap you hear, is IMO just myth.
Why should women avoid deca? The only reason I can think of is if they were going to be tested for steroids for some reason or another, which is like .0001 percent of women in America.
The whole reason nor-testosterones even exist is that they are less harmful to women! (We're talking evolution wise here, not pharmaceutically.They are secreted naturally during fetal development.)
As far as avoiding long esters, again, long esters are generally safer. Which is safer, test suspension or cyp., as far as sides? The whole purpose of a long ester is steady release.
What Bill said makes sense. Think about it: my wife is pregnant right now and secreting some nor-testosterone. If anavar or winny or whatever is safer, then why in the world would mother nature expose fetuses and women to what is basically Deca?
