    Question 1-AD/Androgel stack?

    My natural test levels are around 265 ng. I've been taking 5g Androgel per day for close to two years. Would I benefit from doing a cycle of Ergo's 1-AD? What would be the best way to take the two together? In the post cycle, should I cease the Androgel also and use 6-OXO?

    This brings me to another question I've always wondered about. Since Androgel raises testosterone levels above your natural production, why isn't it necessary to cycle it? I asked my doc (urologist) and he said it was because the new levels are well within the normal range and that natural production doesn't shut down. Is this correct?

    Paul,

    I have been on the gel for several years too. I added 1AD for several weeks by building up the dose. The results were positive but I had the typical sideaffect of hair loss and acne. Then I cycled off with 6OXO. I never cycled off the gel.

    My advise to you is to experiment like I did. Take it easy though. You are messing with your hormones.

    Even a MD will basically say try this and try that... They don't rally know.

    After I cycled off the 6OXO I went to the doc and had blood drawn for a complete profile. Nothing abnormal showed up.

    I am considering asking the doc if I can just double the gel for a few months and see what happens there. To me, that seems a safer route and cheaper in the long run.

    Thanks HyiDr8. It's nice to hear from someone who has tried what I'm contemplating. You said your results were positive. What were your gains? I read some of your earlier posts, and you were very anxious to try 1-AD, but I get the impression you were a bit disappointed overall.

    Have you ever tried, or considered doubling or tripling up on the Androgel, then using 6OXO? I was thinking about three 5g packets a day for 4 weeks, then off for 8 weeks. I get a three month supply a pop, so this would work out well for me.

    Paul,

    I was nervous doing what I was doing. I couldn't get any input here because nobody seemed to be doing the gel. So I felt like I was a guinea pig. Made me nervous,

    The strength gains and the size gaine were impressive. I didn't keep a log or anything. Just remarks from people who didn't know what I was doing but could tell the difference. And, my own observations.

    The side affects would take away from any excitement I had about the gains I was making because I didn't know what the eventual outcome would be. It was kind of scary.

    Bottom line, I would feel more comfortable just upping the gel over time and maybe do the 6OXO.

    Right now I'm just on one packet of gel like I was before the 1AD, etc.

    My next move is to do two. One AM and one PM. If that works out I'll up it to one more packet, mid-day.

    HyDr8,

    Thanks again for your input. You got me second thinking about doing a 1-AD cycle. Think I try doubling up on Androgels instead, like you said 1 morning, 1 evening. It appears there is a good chance prohormones are going to be banned anyway, so why start now.

    BTW, how old are you? I'm 47.

    I'm the big FIVE O.

    BTW, another thing I did when I cycled off the 1AD and 6OXO and just got back to the gel was shave my abdomen area. I thought some of the gel was being lost in the hair. Now I'm thinking about shaving the upper parts of my arms.

    Also thinking about asking the doc about getting a Test shot instead of the gel. Dunno about that though.
