Yes, but in my opinion if you only plan on doing a few cycles you're probably better off just sticking to diet and training.

You wouldn't be able to keep anything past your natural potential anyway once you stopped cycling and unless your diet and training are already spot on you'd probably end up losing anything you gained during the cycle anyway.

That being said my cycle recovery was easy peasy. Did get a little sad on clomid and toremifene, but nothing like I thought it would be. Never lost the ability to gain or maintain an erection even during PCT. I actually had higher test levels after my cycle PCT than I did before, but I believe they probably returned to normal or close enough to normal that I can't tell the difference after a few weeks out of my PCT.

In the end it's your choice. Nothing is certain, but in my experience I'm glad I cycled sooner rather than later. I regret doing the cycle because of the fine not really visable hair I now have on my upper arms and chest, and won't cycle again in fear of actually producing visible chest, and back hair. But yeah I'm super glad I cycled earlier rather than later. It was a learning experience and kinda fun. I recovered extremely easily (although my cycle was only Test E and Var @ 630mg and 100mg, 12 and 8 weeks respectively).

This doesn't mean you'll have the same experience though. You may have a weak ass endocrine system that cripples and falls apart after your cycle. No one can really know for certain although I doubt you'll have trouble as long as you stay away from heavy hitters like nandrolone and trenbolone or don't do excessively long cycles and do a proper PCT.

That being said being on cycle was amazing. I have never been that strong in my entire life and I'm a pretty strong dude already. I felt invincible. I definitely miss it and you should take into account that it may even be slightly addicting to have that much power. I don't personally have an addictive personality but if you do you may want to steer clear because man was it a great feeling.

Yeah, so I suggest doing an excessive amount of research before you even plan a first cycle and then really really think about whether you want to do it.

Anyway that was kind of my experience with a cycle. I was 22 when I started my cycle 8 months ago BTW.

Good luck with whatever you decide. I don't think there's really anything more I can share with you, but as someone who first cycled around your age recently if you have any questions I'd be more than willing to answer them for you.
