All About Oxandrolone

Just prescribed 50 MG Anavar for a month, looking to get rid of fat around the abdominal section. Should I be taking the pill at a certain time during the day and what type of results or side effects should I be seeing?

Types of Oil Testosterone is Mixed with in Compounding Pharmices

Several Questions Regarding Injection Site/Length/Pain/Lumps/Blood

Several Questions Regarding Injection Site/Length/Pain/Lumps/Blood

Ok i'll try that and see what happens, when I aspirate, i usually try to be as gentle and have as less movement as possible in the needle. I inject the needle slow, inject the medication slow and pull out pretty slow and even. I also did my most recent shot tonight in my quad with a 1 inch...

Basic HCG + Fertility Question - When to start taking it?
