Seeking Guidance on Planning a First Testosterone Cycle

Heyeveryone,

I'm planning my first testosterone cycle, hoping to start in early December, and I'd really appreciate some feedback from those with experience. I've done SARMS in the past and want to transition to a testosterone cycle to see my full potential.

I've done some initial research, but I know my current plan has gaps and I want to make sure I'm doing this as safely and effectively as possible. I have several key questions I'm hoping you can help with:

1. Compound & Dosage: My current thought was to use Testosterone Enanthate. I've heard a starting dose for a first cycle is typically in the 300-500mg per week range. Is 600-800mg/week too aggressive for a first cycle? I want to maximize gains but prioritize managing side effects.

2. Administration:

· Needles: What gauge and length do I need for drawing and for injecting (assuming intramuscular)? Do I need different syringes for each?

· Frequency: How many times per week should I be pinning to keep blood levels stable? I've heard twice a week (e.g., Monday/Thursday) is standard.

3. Cycle Structure & PCT:

· Cycle Length: What is a recommended duration for a first cycle? 12 weeks? 16 weeks?

· Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT): This is a major concern for me. I want to preserve my fertility. What PCT protocol (e.g., Nolvadex, Clomid) and on-cycle supplements (like HCG) would you recommend to help with recovery?

4. Ancillaries & Support:

· What essential supplements or medications should I have on hand before I start? I'm thinking about an AI (Aromatase Inhibitor) in case of high estrogen symptoms, but I'm not sure when or if to use it.

· Beyond PCT, what liver/organ support do you recommend?

5. Practical Stuff:

· How long can a vial of testosterone be kept once it's opened?

· What is the typical concentration (e.g., 250mg/mL) I should be looking for?

I know this is a lot, but I believe in doing things the right way. Any insights, experiences, or pointers you can share would be incredibly valuable.

Thanks in advance for your help❤️🙏🏻.
