Some women love winny, some hate it. Will depend on how you react to it, everyone is different. You do not have to worry about post cycle. 6-8 weeks is a good start for a cycle, although some will run it longer. 2.5-5mg a day to start and see how you do. If no sides after a couple of weeks, you can go up from there. Having said all that, I would still go with the Var. But try backing off on the training a little, you could be over training which will not yield you results. What does your diet look like?
