anyone....?

You can, but I would get another bottle of nolva A.S.A.P. to be safe. I would also run L-dex with it.

yeah i am using ldex

Clomid is not as good at specifically preventing gyno. It's more useful in stimulating the HPTA. L-dex should keep levels pretty low, though.

i was taking the nolva for bloat and the ldex to keep estrogen down.

They are different means to the same end.
Nolva blocks estro after it's already there.
L-dex prevents it from being created from test.

stacker put it perfectly, right on. good luck bro!

Just order/buy some Nolva ASAP. It has a pretty long half-life. You should not grow boobies in a few days time, but don't put off getting it either.

Clomid and Nolva are SERMS and because of that are selective in what tissue it will respond too. So IMO don't waste your clomid in hopes that it will keep estrogen from binding to the ER as Nolva would.

Nolva will not do a thing for bloat since all it does is bind to the ER. For bloat an AI is what you will want to use so that test will not aromatize into estrogen and cause edema.
