    Default Testosterone Cypionate PCT and question regarding AI

    39yrs old
    200lbs
    13%bf

    So I just finished up my first cycle, 14 week cycle of Test cyp. Before that I was on TRT 150mg/wk for a year (needed .5 mg adex twice a week with trt). I ran bloodwork before cycle and after last injection, and will do so again after pct

    Test cyp dosage: 400mg per week (200mg injected 2x / wk)
    Arimidex dosage: Started at .5mg 3x / week but had to increase due to bloat and so minor gyno symptoms

    Due to having been on TRT then going into cycle I decided to run HCG for the last 4 weeks of cycle @ 400iu 3x / wk to get the boys back

    Once HCG started I increased AI to 1mg Monday, .5 mg wednesday, 1mg Friday and added 10mg nolva daily. I did this because after starting hcg I started to get nipple pain and sensitivity. Once I increased the AI and added nolva that subsided.

    So I know the cyp dosage is fairly low but given I seem to be sensitive to estrogen and I had the minor gyno scare I picked up clomid and letro just to have on hand. My original plan was to run nolva only for pct which will start in a few days (2 weeks after my last cyp dose)

    Questions:

    I am currently ramping down the Arimidex and will not run during pct. Is this what is typically recommended?

    For pct I had originally planned nolva 40mg wk 1, 40mg wk 2, 20mg wk 3, 10mg wk 4.

    Thoughts on nolva / clomid combo at reduced dosages? I realize its not necessary but I have the clomid so would prefer optimal vs necessary

    Thoughts on 8 week layoff after pct before starting another cycle?

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks. What was the cycle you ran before this pct? This is my first pct so unsure what to look for if doses need to be adjusted or extended

    Dosages of nolvadex and clomid combined for PCT protocol should prove effective. That said, as with the nolvadex only protocol, it is not set in stone. More suppressive cycles may require higher doses or longer duration of use to bring about the desired effects. You are right about lower dosages when combined PCT protocol.

    I would run HCG and then either Nolva or Clomid, not both. For your cycle both is a bit overkill but HCG is recommended
    HCG dosage would look something like this: 1000/1000/750/750/500/500/500IU EOD
    Nolva: 40/40/20/20mg ED (4 weeks)
    Clomid: 100/100/50/50mg ED (4 weeks)

    I also sometimes add test booster with arimistane for libido increase and overall well-being, seemed to work for me. Personally bought them from this web and never had any complaints:
