A little confused ????

[Mike H.]

I am just looking for some very basic answers to some very basic questions ?? OK I am not on a cycle or looking to start anytime soon just trying to gather some solid info, if I did start a cycle it would be test only for 10 weeks around 500 mgs a week, I understand about having Nolvadex on hand to deal with sides, what I am confused about is PCT I have been reading and some say to taper the test and some some don't ?? if you taper does this mean thats your PCT as opposed to taking nolvadex or clomid ??

dont taper, it will mess up your blood and hormone levels. same dose all the way through, 500mg/week is good.

have you read the pct stickies?

I haven't seen anyone who knows what they are talking about still advocate tapering. It was popular in the 80's, we've learned a lot since. Stoping then running pct at the right time is the way to go.

Not trying to be a smart ass but I can't find PCT stickies ?? maybe a gentle shove in the right direction ??

alright go to the main page of the AR forum, about 4 sections down from this one is a Post Cycle Therapy forum click on that and the first few are the "stickies" they ll be in bold i like the 1s by Stocky, Swifto, and Pheedno

Thanks just found the same thread...so it is very clear about when to start pct depending on the type of test you are using, is it correct to use nolvadex for 3 to 4 weeks as pct ??

Regards, Mike

[CHUCKYthentic]

nolvadex and clomid for 4 weeks

do you have an Aromatose inhibitor?

[Mike H.]

No I don't ( would having arimadex or something you recomend) on hand suffice ?? and you said nolvadex and clomid ?? I thought it was one or the other ?? lol...still confused....from what I read the test cycle is very basic what my main concern is PCT if I do a cycle I want to come off as easy as possible.....

Regards, Mike

[CHUCKYthentic]

coming off cannot be categorized as easy or not

ya adex on hand is correct use it if gyno symptoms start to arise .25mg EOD i suggest until you dont feel anymore symptoms or you can run it all the way through. diff peop do it diff you have to see what works out for u

clomid and nolvadex are both SERMs and yes they both need to be used. they have different capabilities and do different things they are not the same though

[Mike H.]

Thanks for your time, if I have further questions I will ask...

Regards, Mike

[Mike H.]

I was told or read can't remember to have nolvadex on hand for sides such as gyno ?? I am assumming nolvadex is only used for PCT ??? sorry for such newbie questions just trying to get the facts straight...

dude read all the posts in these forums. google topics and read them. u will find out everything u need to know. one thing to remember is everyones's body responds differently to different gears and different pct options. until u start doin cycles, u can only go by hearsay.

[CHUCKYthentic]

its cool man no worries
yes nolva can be used for gyno if symptoms start to arise. i dnt recommend running it along side, thats old school IMO.
if you do start to show signs of gyno u can use nolva til they go away. its active life is 2 days, so a couple days using 40mgs a day should fix the problem

[Mike H.]

So if signs of gyno appear would it be better to use adex or nolva ?? just wondering is one better than the other for sides ??

imo... nolvadex

A-Dex is a lot more pricey, but it is also good for maintaining your water retention. i would say A-dex

Thanks for everyone's input...

That depends actually I can get Armi for about the same as Nolva.
