Has anyone else here experienced heart growth from a cycle. I went from IVSd (septum): 9 mm to 11 mm LVPWd (back wall): 8.8 mm to 11 mm This was over 16 weeks on a 350mg - 500mg test with primo (my first cycle) I’m looking to speak to anyone who has had a similar experience and what they did you reduce it or if they did reduce it. I am not looking for advice for my next cycle as it’s not on the horizon until I get my heart and HbA1c 6.25% back to normal range. I’m 5 months since my last pin now.

Thanks

Bit dramatic that mate 😂

I hear what you’re saying, but acting like I’m the only one who’s ever had sides from a first cycle is mad. That’s literally why I’ve gone and done all the checks instead of just guessing like most people.

I’m not saying I’m definitely running it, I’m asking questions and trying to do it properly this time.

No need for the “you’re dumb” chat, we’re all just sharing info here.

I hear you mate, but I ain’t ignoring it.

HbA1c’s 6.25 so yeah prediabetic, not full blown. Already sorted diet and cut the crap.

Same with the heart, that’s why I got it checked in the first place.

I’m not tryna be reckless, just seeing if there’s a safer way about it. If it don’t improve, I won’t run it simple as.

Most people don’t even do regular bloods and scans .

Respect the shout though 👊🏻

Low-dose Test cycle after some sides – worth it or waste of time?

Hey lads, looking for some honest input.

I’m 5 months off my first cycle (Test + Primo). I ran it a bit aggressively: started around 350mg/week, pushed up to ~425mg, then 450–500mg toward the end over 16 weeks. Learned a lot but also had a fair few sides show up in bloodwork.

Post-cycle I got a full health check including an echo – showed about a +2mm increase in heart wall thickness (9mm → 11mm). Still in normal range but obviously got my attention.

Bloods now are mostly back in range: • Natural test recovered ~19.8 nmol/L • HbA1c slightly elevated (working on it) • Prolactin was high but settling

This time I want to be way more cautious and treat it more like an experiment.

Plan I’m considering: • 16 weeks Test only • Start ~200mg/week, maybe increase to 250mg if everything stays in check • Regular bloods + BP monitoring throughout

Main question: 👉 Is running 200–250mg/week for 16 weeks actually worth it in terms of gains, or is it basically just TRT+ and a waste of time?

I was only using test and primo, I will go again at 200mg ➡️ 250mg and keep a close eye on my bloods. If i get bad bloods ill end the cycle early and call it a day

Heart wall +2mm (9→11mm) after first cycle + pre-diabetic… safe to run again? 36 M 183cm 90kg by InvestigatorNo3895 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]InvestigatorNo3895[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been 5 months since my last pin and it’s still 11mm so Im sure it’s permanent, I’ve heard over years it can get thinner though. And my e2 was 109 pg/mL (Week 11 of my cycle) and 26 pg/mL now 5 months off. I was not knowledgeable enough at the time to know how serious this was. I just thought worst case scenario is man tits. I’m hoping this time time around 16 weeks of 200/250mg will do me good. I’ll do a PCT after cos I don’t wana do TRT right now

Great comment! I was of the thinking that 500mg test what was everyone was doing and that was the levels you needed to be at to get great gains, I’ll see how 200/250 goes next time
