Achy Balls?
Hey all,
Just wanted to know if anybody could shed some light on this? I have been on cycle for 6 weeks now - started with 200mg of Deca and 500mg of Test, but dropped the Deca on the 3rd week after I was advised against messing with it. I.e. Test-E only for the past 3.5 weeks.
I experienced a dull aching in the Testes within the first week of the cycle, and it has been coming and going ever since. Nothing too extreme, and more of an irritation than anything, though there have been some uncomfortable moments. The pain is most noticeable after sex, though it hasn't impacted my sex drive, which has been very high.. Kinda feels like that pain you get in the testes when you've had too much sex, but in this case the frequency of sex is not excessive, yet the pain still lingers on..
Have done a lot of looking around but can't seem to find any consensus on what the cause might be? I have not been taking HCG throughout, and have only just started taking Arimidex @ 0.25mg EoD now, as I felt no need for it before. I will be starting a short course of HCG on the last week of the cycle.
The only comments I've read on this seem to indicate that this is something that is temporary, usually at the beginning of a cycle or during PCT at the end, whereas I have been experiencing it regularly throughout the entire cycle. Testes seem to have shrunken very slightly, but nothing extreme, so I don't think I am dealing with atrophy just yet. Again - just a dull aching in the testes and around that region, always worse after sex, lasting from a few hours to a few days. No rhyme or reason to it other than that.
Does anybody have any similar experiences, or ideas as to what might be causing this? Could it possibly the lack of Arimidex, given that I only just started taking it now? I haven't had any Gyno or excessive bloating, so I didn't want to take anything extra that wasn't absolutely necessary..

Shutdown. HCG may help as well as Nolva. You're about to PCT, so your balls will be bouncing soon!!
BandoleroTo be honest, I have gotten this before and it seems to happen when I am getting extreme shutdown, and or running too much testosterone. This is just me tho.. I would get extremely horny but I couldn't finish well and everything would ache afterwards. I would definitely get bloods as rusty has said but what worked for me was adjusting my dose.. I backed off the test and found other compounds that I responded to better. Now my cycles are always 200 of test + 800 of EQ, or 350 of NPP a week. I run nothing else. That's just me like I said.
Thanks for the info. As I said, I dropped the Deca 3 weeks into the cycle, and have continued on 500mg Test-E alone for the past 4 weeks - but my issues with sex have been the opposite. I.e. I actually experienced my first case of PE a couple of times when I was hooking up with my new girl - very embarrassing, but I put it down to extreme arousal after hours of foreplay. Once I got that out of the way, my performance was excellent - controllable and enjoyable.
I kinda deduced that the aching might be related to shut down, but I am still horny as hell, and have no trouble getting it up or finishing. In fact, I have already dropped my dose down to 300mg, as the insane libido was actually becoming a problem. I couldn't kiss her or touch her without getting an instant hard-on - which is not good when you are out in public.. Every time she wanted a hug, I was ready for action, and she actually ended up scolding me for being too horny..
Definitely experienced soreness and aching after sex, but never enough to stop me from going again! Kinda seems like the Deca was trying to shut me down while the Test was making me horny, so there was a conflict going on there. I really regret messing with Deca, and I am praying that I stopped it soon enough to avoid a long and dull recovery. If there is one time in my life when I cannot afford to be shut down with no libido, it will be the next few months..
Am cutting my cycle short at 9 weeks. HCG for 10 days starting the last week, then standard PCT with Clomid and Nolva 2 weeks later. Hopefully I can get my balls back without too much drama. Apart from the aching (which comes and goes) - they actually look pretty normal.
BandoleroNo problem... Sounds like you got it worked out.. i wouldnt worry about the deca at all. It takes about 5 or 6 weeks to fully kick in and 200mg is nothing. If you were running 600+ for a few months then id be concerned. I love deca ... I mean the fast deca NPP.
Cheers man. Not sure if I got it 'worked out', but I am getting there..! So you reckon 200mg of Deca for 3 weeks is negligible then, in terms of suppression and recovery issues? I was totally shitting myself when I actually did some proper research on Deca Dick etc - thought I might have earned myself an extra painful recovery.
I just wanna get off the shit and recover as fast as possible - realised I was ill-prepared for it, and it turns out I will be doing a lot of travel this year anyway. Having extra libido and vitality is fun, but I need to be much better educated and prepared before I ever run a cycle again.
BandoleroI mean its possible like an asteroid could hit us soon but I seriously doubt it. In my body my dick would laff at 200mg of deca for 3 weeks but the thing is your gunna be shutdown anyways from the test your injecting. I would just play with the dosage and you will find your sweet spot. If you still wanted to run deca, get some cabergoline and you wont need to hesitate.
RustyhookerBefore you hit a high dose of adex....get bloods. Huge difference in usage and its by person. Not by guesses.
.25e3d
.25eod
If you cant see the difference, your gonna feel it in your joints.
Good advice, I took a little too much adex, .5od, and my e2 was at 5.7. Felt pretty shitty. Bounced back easily but lesson learned.
I really regret taking the Deca, as I was totally uneducated about what a serious compound it is. I dropped it approx 4 weeks ago and continued on with just the Test, but now I am seriously worried about getting Deca Dick when I stop the Test in a few weeks..
Been horny as hell ever since starting the cycle, but am worried that my libido is gonna crash when I finish the cycle, and that I'm gonna have issues with my new girl when I see her again in a couple of months.
Will look into getting bloods - but do you have any advice for a smooth PCT and recovery? By the time I finish the cycle, I will have been Deca-free for 6 weeks, so hopefully any levels in my system will be negligible by this point?
You ran nandrolone for 3 weeks at a low end dose. One option for recovery could be low dose hCG. 250-500iu e4-5d for 21 days, then a standard PCT one week after last hcg pin. AI prn signs/symptoms of high estro after last Test pin and during hCG administration. No reason using big doses of hCG, it could precipitate gyneco.
Definitely bloods...
Amputation is the only option. I am sorry to tell you this. I am But look on the bright side you won't have any problem securing a script for testosterone.
Screw you man.. This is my life, my balls, my relationship!
Achey balls... Time to find a new girlfriend. Maybe massage w happy ending?
X2, I haven't looked back since I went for the removal after I felt a dull ache in my ball bag, I'm described as the song bird of my generation as my voice never broke.
300 SavageDefinitely the deca..Happens to my Friend every time he runs deca.
I've never had the achy balls except for during PCT although I have only run HCG throughout a couple of cycles. How much HCG and at what frequency dosing?
Same thing happened to a friend of mine. It goes away eventually.
cycle history? Deca made my balls feel weird(no pain though) after a few weeks im guessing it was shutting down my system but that is to be expected when using a 19-nor. Hope you did some research before jumping on deca.
