Lean bulk cycle

Here’s my situation: I never planned on having kids, so I used steroids for a long time without HCG.

But at some point, I realized I did want to become a father. Actually, I’d go even further — I believe having a child is essential if you want to grow as a person. It’s the biggest responsibility anyone can take: being accountable not just for yourself, but for another life. It’s a deeper, philosophical part of life.

I’ve now been on HMG, HCG, and various supplements for a year and a half. I’m planning to get a semen analysis soon, but honestly, I’m not confident about the results.

That’s why I strongly advise thinking about this in advance. Even if you’re not planning to have children right now — just freeze your sperm, just in case. It gives you options later and might save you from a lot of regret.
Thanks for sharing your story. I know I will probably change my mind, I've changed as a person so much in the last 2 years, so it is foolish to believe that wanting kids is something that will never change. On the other hand, from what I've seen, recovering fertility after moderate steroid abuse isn't that much of a problem and even a lot of top pros have gotten children while in the midst of their careers (Cbum, Lunsford, Wilkin and others)
 
Cycle update #2 (8 weeks in - 27th of July):
1. Stats

  • Weight: avg. weight over the last 7 days has been 95.7kg
2. PEDs Protocol
  • PEDs: added 100mcg of Driada's IGF1-LR3 in the evening. Switched from lyophilized version of GH to liquid one (both from Driada), because I couldn't be asked to reconstitute a vial every 3 days (also my hands feel tighter in the morning, possibly connected)
  • Ancillaries: No changes
3. Training & Nutrition
  • Due to some measurment errors on my part, I was eating more than I measured. I upped the calories slightly so now I am on 3710kcal, 224g of protein, 533g of carbs, 67 g of fats and 17g of fiber
  • Reduced potassium intake to 780mg morning and 600mg midday.
4. Progress & Notes
  • Training performance going up, big lifts are progressing, I'm setting PRs (at reasonable rep ranges - I almost never max out) every session
  • No side effects, even the hairline seems to be fine

My guess is that soon you’ll need to increase your daily caloric intake to around 3900–4000 calories.
