nolva question and acne

**anonymous22** · 03-25-2006, 11:30 PM

i have finished my last cycle back in december and chose not to run another one for a while because my acne is getting bad and nothing seems to work. from the 2 cycles that i have run my nipples are a little puffy still and i was thinking about running just nolvadex for a while to see if it would help, but my question is will the nolva make the acne worse? because i didnt have any acne during my cycle until the end when i ran chlomid and nolva for my pct.

I dont see it making it worse. It is different for everyone, my main thought is that the acne attained during start up of PCT is just because your hormones are being jumbled around and they are up and down and trying to get up again so whether you run clomid or nolva or w/e you can always get acne. Some people do some dont, so this is kind of hard to say. But if you are completely off cycle and PCT I dont really know if running nolva out of the blue is a great idea.

why wouldnt running nolva be a good idea if not on cycle, or pct?

I have noticed that acne comes on when I use Nolva. It is nothing like Clomid acne--evil. But I do get a spot or two on my face and shoulders. Clomid turns my shoulders and back into pizza.

I am to the point where I use HCG at least the last 4 weeks of the cycle and follow with short term, low-dose Clomid (50mg/day) for about 1.5-2 weeks. I run Nolva the whole time (10mg/day on cycle and 20 after) and extend it past Clomid for about 2 weeks.
This worked really well for me last time after 20 weeks. I think the difference is just having your nuts ready to come back before the PCT drugs can work as well.
