Female 1st Cycle of Anavar- 25mg How much is TOO much?

[AerialAngel]

Hi Guys!
This is my first time posting and was hoping at least a couple experienced people could help coach me along my first cycle of Anavar.
I am 5'2" 125lbs, about 15% BF, I have a vegan diet and I am a silks aerialist (google it)
My goal is simply to GET STRONGER!
I am attempting to get 150 grams of protein a day (not whey however, since it is derived from animal product)
My job requires a lot of upper body strength and flexibility so I decided to start taking var in the morning with my breakfast. I don't train until after 5pm, I use light weights, and a pull up bar, along with my silks. I am going to mix in some cardio as well.
I have 50mg Capsules, and I have been told to split the dosage in half because 50mg is "too much" and I have also read most women only taking 5-15mg dosages.
Why is it "too much"? I have seen plenty of men at 150lbs take 100mg, but why would 25-50mg for a 125-130lb female, not be a good dosage to increase gains?

I am on day 2 right now, I took 25 mgs yesterday and this morning, and I have noticed that I have been peeing very frequently.
Is this normal? I am thinking maybe my body is just adjusting to the var? or is this a sign that 25mg is "too much"?

Should 25mg be ok to take for a couple months?

Are there any women that have experience using 25mg dosages or higher?

I just want to make sure that I am not going to permanently hurt myself by "overdosing"!

Thanks for the help!

yes!!! way too much!

5-10mg a day tops.. and I would consult with females who are experienced with compounds.. very risky for you to mess with var because if its faked you will find yourself in a heap of trouble

also the pumps from var may be counter productive to your goals, they will get worse and worse.. I would also consider taking taurine with it

remember its still a male hormone even though it isn't androgenic and taking too much is a bad idea .. and 100mg for a 150lb male is too much, that's someone who doesn't know how to workout or eat who overdoses on AAS to compensate for their laziness..

I am 200 pounds and take 40-50mg a day.. because it is a dry compound people don't understand the mechanics behind it so they run higher dosages then is necessary. in other words because they don't put on 10 pounds of water they assume its not doing anything

Once you start getting into higher dosages, you may start displaying male characteristics. For men, 100mg ED isn't unheard of but women normally start In the 5-10mg range to guage how they react. You're carrying much less body weight than a male and you certainly don't want to experience things such as voice deepening, exelerated hair growth, and possibly enlargement of the clitoris. A female starting at 25mg is too high IMHO.

Ok so I can't change the 25mg i have already, ingested the past two days, but I should be alright if I drop down to 10 a day from now on? What are the risks that I have now?

i would stop taking it for a couple days to let the large doses you took taper off then continue at a lower dose.

Did you do any research before starting this cycle?

Your dosing is WAY too high for a first cycle and right off the bat. Var needs to be taken every 8-12 hours, not once per day.

We need to start low for a few reasons. First, when women mess around with hormones it can do some crazy things to our body. Our bodies like small, slow changes.
Then of course the whole side affect thing. You WILL get sides. You need to be fully aware of the possible sides and be ok with the chance of them being permanent. Now, the chances of sides with Var being permanent are fairly low, but it's not impossible.
Var is more often than not faked. Which is another reason for starting low. You don't want to be taking 25mgs of what you think is Var and turns out to be DBOL.

Are you taking a good probiotic? Many women get yeast infections while cycling. I highly recommend getting one. It needs to come refrigerated too, once it hits room temp the live bacteria dies, making it worthless.

BTW- I'm going to be starting an aerial silks class for beginners real soon. I just found out the classes are held literally 30 seconds from my house.
