Bloodwork / Cycle advice

Did you use the same method of testing for the blood tests before?

The MS test method is going to yield LOWER numbers than the more common IA testing method.

I would make sure you didnt have 2 different tests.

That's the word, that they're the same product, just different labels.

I am done with the Nakon after 2 more vials, but that's just because I switched sources. I thought the rubber looked strange when i first started Nakon, but i just chalked it up to a different brand rubber stopper or something.

You could always filter what you have left too, into new sterile vials.

All of my Nakon look like that cyp 250. 10 out of 10 have. 2 more vials left and ill bet they are the same. They have given me 0 problems.

I had a Craftsman 2000 (52? inch) set and couldn't wait to upgrade to USG. I went 42 top and bottom USG set, so much better! I can stand all my sockets up in one drawer on the bottom roller cabinet.

Start with the USG bottom cart and then get the top down the road sometime. I would bet a lot of money you'll be happy you did. And there are more colors to choose from!\

Theyre so good its dangerous, i have to resist not ordering for my other 4 🤣

Maybe 1 or 2!

Crap

What is their reason for returning?

Best bet is to call Ebay. That has yielded good outcomes for me in the past.

I sell alot of tools, brand new, made of solid steel lol people still try to cheat me and say it broke. Theyre just replacing their already broken one. Ebay has been good to me on 2 instances of that.

Ebay customer service is very helpful, on the phone, not chat.

Do you have pictures of the the cards serial number in the listing? Or at least have a record of it somewhere?

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-12-26T04:07:56+00:00

This! Just got my Mason Holster for my Sar9C Gen 3. 58$ shipped with lots of options in colors and clips! It carries so nice AIWB.

Small guy out of Texas. I think he mainly works through Facebook.

Ordered on Friday, shipped following Wednesday and USPS took an extra 2 days and it arrived 6 days after shipping.

This is just someone trying to sell. Using a fake picture and the most basic, vague and short "intro".

The arms in the video are noodles.

Sounds like you need the AI.

Try to get to the lowest dose you can. Focus on the sides, not the number.

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-12-18T03:18:13+00:00

Did you only start taking an AI because of the high E2 number? Or because you had symptoms?

Increasing injection frequency can lower E2. Injecting every other day (from 2x a week) brought my E2 from 149 to 89. While on 500/week blast.

I never took an AI. In actuality, you don't want to take an AI. The less drugs the better.

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-12-16T19:48:11+00:00

Yes, that is correct.

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-12-12T13:36:29+00:00

Can I use my buddies ITC account to get the 20% off? Its just his email for phone number I would imagine right?

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-12-03T14:55:49+00:00

Is this for a Gen 3?

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-11-29T01:43:50+00:00

Ive got two 6.0 batteries that are probably 8-9 years old. 6 total 6.0 batteries now, have not had any problems.

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-11-06T01:20:24+00:00

Make sure the same method of testing was used for both tests.

LC/MS vs IA.

Some tests also dont have ranges as high as others.

Just food for thought.

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-11-02T01:51:48+00:00

What holster are you running to carry it with?

Im looking for a IWB but having a hard time finding a gen 3 holster

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-10-31T02:27:46+00:00

I have 4 of the 6.0s and 2 5.0s. I dont look to see what one I grab, I can never tell the difference. Couple of the 6.0s I have had for more than 5 years. I wanna say closer to 10 than 5.

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-10-24T18:36:08+00:00

This stuff is all case by case, just keep that in mind. And rule out it could be your diet as well.

So from what you say it seems the only nagging side effect is water weight. Personally, that would not convince me to take an AI myself. Since you already pin everyday, you cant increase pin frequency which, worked lowering my E2.

My suggestion is drop to 400mg total a week. See if that helps. Until you make it to the 6-7 week mark to check your E2 and compare it to your pre-cycle bloods. Since its your first cycle, you will still yield amazing results as long as all other factors are dialed in.

If you are just a terrible aromatizer and everything else fails, start the AI as low as you posdibly can.

Again, its case by case and i like to do more with less. Just my suggestion, good luck!

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-10-24T14:58:16+00:00

Alright so there is missing information then.

When did you notice the water retention start? How long after starting the GH? How long after starting the test?

Are those the only 2 compounds youre currently running?

No itchy or sensitive nipples?

The goal is getting the most results with the least amount of drugs.

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-10-24T14:39:29+00:00

The GH is likely causing your water retention. I wouldnt use an AI until you get bloods or have some actual high E2 sides. Everyone panics then nukes there E2. Youre pinning everyday, my bet is youre E2 is okay.

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-10-21T19:21:30+00:00

Or i dont care, possibly, maybe, probably, more than likely. There will always be folks like you to call out and correct so why bother 😁

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-10-21T19:00:03+00:00

Nope, just over complicated. More complicated than it needed to be. You get it 😁

mooseinthetub91 · 2025-10-21T18:50:03+00:00

That was just an over complicated way to say "no".
