Hi All,

I'm a newbie, just joined today and I'm already enjoying this forum very much!

I have been training for about 4 years and up until now have been natural apart from taking clen every now and again. I seem to build muscle fairly easily, but I wanted to experiment with roids to achieve that polished, ripped look! I'm pretty concerned about side effects (masculinisation) as I think I have a slightly higher level of testosterone already as I have a fairly deep voice, some facial hair (not much) and I seem to have a larger than average clitoris (so I'm told :( ) Would it be advisable for me to try roids? I don't know much about them to be honest. :confused:

Thanks for any feedback

Hi Diversity,
From my own experience with roids the most problematic side effect has been increased hirstutism, facial hair and body hair, this had increased slightly with each cycle. Obviously this is not life threatening & can be dealt with. Other side effects, enlaged clitorus, deeper voice were temporary for me but I do feel that had I stayed on for longer or used a higher dose then a point of no return would have been reached. I generally stayed on for about 10 weeks at a time. i haved used primo' (no longer available I think) deca and test prop ( i think I was ill advised there, long acting test would have been better, there is less masculinisation for more muscle building if androgen levels are constantly slightly elevated rather than fluctuating up and down)
As regards doseages i never used much more than 100 mg of any thing.
Efects on the menstrual cycle were noy severe, lighter bleeding whilst on, back to normal fairly soon. Deca actually made me have temporarily heavier peroids ( i think this may be due to its progestogenic effects??) However I have heard other reports of more severe menstrual disturbances and there is probably a relationship between bodyfat levels & menstruation.
Be very cautious, use amall amounts and build up little by little until you know how much androgen you can tolerate.

hope this helps
