Female Anavar First Cycle Log (with T3/Clen)

[FemFitness]

Hi everyone,

I've been searching the net for months now for solid info on Anavar (oxandrolone), for women and couldn't really find what I was looking for, so I thought I'd make a log for those who are curious and are looking into their first cycle.

A bit about me - been training for 3-4 years now and I competitively powerlift. My main goal with this cycle isn't aesthetic, but to maintain, and possibly even increase strength while dieting. I bulked to 170+lbs, then dropped to <160lbs naturally over the course of several weeks, and was planning to stay natural up until my strength started dropping. I've had easy access to this stuff for a while now but was hesitant to hop on without getting lean first, but as a competitor I'm doing what I can do stay on top of my game.

I'm currently taking liquid anavar at 5mg ed, broken up into two doses, 2.5mg in the morning, and 2.5mg at night. Today marks the end of my first week. I'm also taking liquid clen at 40mcg two days on/two days off, although I prefer EC which I take on my off days. I was running liquid t3 at a low dose - 12.5mcg for a week or so, then I bumped it up to 25mcg, and now I'm at 40mcg. I'm being conservative with the anavar because I'm very wary of putting hormones in my body, I want to make sure I'm doing things relatively safely. I've played with the clen dose, and although I'm not the biggest fan (I don't think it does much), I'm keeping the dose at a steady 40mcg.

So far I don't feel anything physically from the var, but it's way too early to tell. I had one giant breakout on my back last week (I never break out on my back), but that went away and I haven't seen anything since. When I started lifting more intensely about a year ago, I started to get breakouts on my face near my jaw line which is hormonal, but now that I'm taking anavar I've noticed a DECREASE in face breakouts. This is very unusual, so I'm going to keep track of this and see how things go.

One thing I will note is that I'm very emotional. I've been getting upset easily, it's almost as if I'm in a state of mild depression. I'm staying aware of this and keeping tabs on my mood. That can also simply be from dieting, though... I also feel very bloated, like I'm holding lots of water. Wasn't expecting that either... my weight jumped up a little once I hopped on, but hopefully that comes off over the next few weeks.

I weightlift intensely 6x/wk, with cardio here and there.
Maintenance calories are roughly 2,400.
Dieting on 2,000 calories, 150g protein, <100g carbs
Drinking at least a gallon of water a day.
Main sources of protein: Chicken, eggs, egg whites, protein powder, greek yogurt
Main sources of carbs: fruits/veggies (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cabbage, peas, carrots), sweet potato
Main sources of fats: nut butter, olive oil, coconut oil, cheese
Supplements: Joint support, Liver care, Adrenal fatigue, Multivitamin/multimineral, Fish oil

I'm not a bodybuilder so I don't have any fears of fruits or dairy

I eat to fuel my body and I train hard.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Here's my predicted dosing schedule--

Breakdown of Cycle:
Week 1: 5mg Anavar / 40mcg T3/ 40mcg Clen (2days on/2days off)
Week 2: 5mg Anavar / 40mcg T3 / 40mcg Clen (2days on/2days off)
Week 3: 7.5mg Anavar / 50mcg T3
Week 4: 7.5mg Anavar / 75mcg T3 / 40mcg Clen (2days on/2days off)
Week 5: 10mg Anavar / 75mcg T3 / 40mcg Clen (2days on/2days off)
Week 6: 10mg Anavar / 50mcg T3
Week 7: 12.5 mg Anavar / 40mcg T3 / 40mcg Clen (2days on/2days off)
Week 8: 12.5mg Anavar / 40mcg T3 / 40mcg Clen (2days on/2days off)
Week 9: 15mg Anavar / 25mcg T3

Looking forward to following the results. I'm 13 weeks out from a competition and need to drop BF along with preserving the muscle I have without a need to build too much.

Day 10-11: Noticed increased libido from var. Slightly uncomfortable.

I haven't really been taking the clen. I really don't like it all that much.
T3 makes me ravenously hungry so I can tell it's working. It also makes me very sleepy so I'm going to take my dose at night instead of splitting it up.

Day 12: No changes. Recovery may be slightly better, but not sure. Going to up the var dose to 7.5mg in a couple of days, and T3 will jump to 50mcg.

Are you planning to hop on leading up to your comp?

Be extra caution of the t3. My wife really damaged her thyroid from mis using it at 50 mcg per day. Took her nearly a year to get it back to functioning optimally again without supplementation

Yes planning to before my next comp and heard a lot of good things about this combo.

Have you noticed any changes in lbs or BF yet?

You guys got a blood/hormone panel taken before/after supplementing the T3? I have a naturally low-functioning thyroid so I may very well have to get a prescription for this. The important thing is that it went back to normal after a year, right?

Nothing noticeable yet. Today is day 13 so I am increasing var to about 6mg today, 6mg tomorrow, then will have it at 7.5mg for the two weeks thereafter. I'm able to taper up in very small increments since I'm using the liquid; I don't have to worry about breaking tablets into uneven doses.

I've heard that you "feel" the var at the two-week mark, so we'll see.

You are so right! I really need to be more responsible in the use of T3 so I just scheduled to have a thyroid panel done but my Dr. is booked til Jun 11th so looks like I won't be using T3 until next contest prep since this comp is July 19th. Still will use Var/Clen combo though.

I read however Clen/t3/combined with hgh is the best of the best combo for leaning out but I'm wondering about the rebound on that.

Thanks for keeping the log updated I have found so little info on women's cycles and this board seems kinda dead.

The thyroid rebounds better than the anterior pituitary gland but those two weeks of thyroid shutdown can allow a lot of fat ti accumulate

Today is day 15... I took 4mg yesterday cause I didn't get to dose in the evening, and took 8mg today...

The only major side effect I'm feeling so far is lethargy and minor acne. No physical changes yet. Strength hasn't increased, haven't gotten any leaner. But 5mg is a very low dose so we'll see how things go with an increased dose...

I also dropped the clen completely for now. I prefer EC.

 

[CML0915]

Subbed!!
I'm starting a similar stack soon. Just got done with a 7 month bulk. I'm planning on doing Tbol, t3, EC and possibly low dose NPP. I've never done TBol though and am not big on stacking something I haven't run before so I may leave the NPP out to see how I like Tbol on it's own.
Will you be posting before/afters??

I'm not posting before/afters for privacy reasons sorry.

My friend's female trainer ran low dose tbol for the first time and had to stop due to major side effects so be careful. At 5mg she experienced painful back pumps, headaches, deepening of the voice, irritability, increased face and body hair, pretty much everything you can imagine within a week of starting her cycle. She had to stop at week two because the side effects got worse by the day. Strength went through the roof, though.

Wow that's crazy. 5mg of Tbol shouldn't have done that, maybe it was something else? I've heard way more good things about it than bad. I'm not a Var fan so was hoping this would work.

 

[FemFitness]

Update: Bumped the dose to 10mg (from 8) for the past 4 days or so. A few more days at this dose then going to taper up to 15mg.

Energy is a lot better, acne is almost completely gone (been battling with it for 2 years now).

I dropped calories this week from 2000 to 1700-1800.

Nothing noticeable has happened with strength, but muscles look fuller and they're a bit harder and more defined. Leaning out a little bit.

It's possible. You ever really know what you're getting.

The lethargy is likely from the T3. Personally, I'd hold the 10 mgs of var for a few weeks. Sides don't really show up till the 4-6 week mark...the big sides anyway. Just my 2 cents. And for whatever it's worth...I'd taper a bit longer down on the T3. The rebound is a bitch.

I'm closing in on the end of week 5. I tapered the var up to 15mg about a week ago and am now noticing that the acne is returning... I'm keeping it here for another week at least. There are no noticeable physical changes aside from that. This definitely is a very mild anabolic it seems. It also might be cause the T3 is said to cause strength loss, so the drugs may just be counter-acting each other. I'm tapering down from 75mcg to 50mcg T3 in the next week, which means I'm going to have to tighten up my diet even more.

I started clen again today. I really don't like it compared with an EC stack but I ran out of that, so I'm going to run a 2 week clen cycle to see if anything happens.

 

[FemFitness]

Today marks the end of week 6, and I've decided to stop all drugs. Voice got noticeably raspy and is cracking from time to time. I had increased my dose to 20mg this week, and that appears to be way too much. I'll be much more conservative with my next cycle.

 

[caligirl85]

I'm glad you stopped. It's a lesson learned. Sides often don't show up till weeks 4-6 and it's just not wise to increase on a first cycle like that when you just don't know how you will respond.

I'm really glad you posted this because hopefully other women can learn from it. We try to warn them and caution them but most proceed anyway.

I hope your sides clear quickly for you.
