Low-dose Oxandrolone and lipid changes – anyone seen HDL drop?

Howzit folks. I ran a short 6‑week cycle of Oxandrolone at 15 mg split twice daily, mainly to keep lean while cutting for a summer 10k. 0 mmol/L.

LDL and triglycerides were pretty unchanged. Tbh I’m not sure if it’s the compound, the low calorie diet, or just normal variation, but the drop felt noticeable. Has anyone else seen a similar shift with low‑dose oral Oxandrolone?

If so, did you add anything like omega‑3s or adjust the dose to help bring HDL back? Also, any thoughts on how long it usually takes to rebound after stopping? Just looking for real‑world hints before I think about another round.
