General rule of thumb is, time on = time off. Make sure to get your bloodwork checked.

I can remember a time when I used to be able to cycle for 12 wks and then take 12 wks off. Now it seems that as soon as PCT is over w/ I'm back on. I'm going to have to change my ways here really soon, getting married and $$ is going to be more of an issue. And if I thought about what I've spent on gear w/in the past year I'd probably just shoot myself.

I would wait. The body need rest from the AAS IMO

True, but blood work is the barometer for the body’s need to rest. When it’s restored to the normal range the body is rested.

blood work is a good way to see if you're back to normal, but this means you'd have to get your bloodwork done before you began the cycle so you know what normal is. Either then that time on=time off.
