Arimidex Advice

[management26]

I'm running my first cycle in a long time. I'm running test cyp only at 400mg per week for 10 weeks. I'm super suceptible to gyno so I have a couple of questions. I plan on running .5mg every other day of arimidex and then doing hcg at 500iu per week from week 5 on and then doing pct with nolva and clomid . Should I stop the arimidex before pct or continue throughout? Also, is it going to kill me if I don't get my hands on hcg in time? Kind of as prepared as I should have been. Thanks for everyones time

I would run the adex at .5 eod until week 5 when you start the hcg. Then I would run it .5 ed. I am assuming that you will be spitting the hcg shots? I would run the nolva and clomid during pct. No adex during pct.

Yeah...250 twice a week. What if I dont get the hcg? Should I make any adjustments? Also, the adex should run through 10 weeks or continue it between my last shot and the start of pct for 11 weeks total?

Continue with the AI until the day before you start PCT.

If it were me I would keep it at .5 eod until the start of pct.

[oscarjones]

Or .25mg ED.

[tboney]

unless you use the hcg, I would keep it at .5 eod.

Thanks for the quick responses

Be aware that adex takes a week or two to get into your system. That being said, I would start the adex at .25mg EOD from day 1. Once the test kicks in (week 5) you might up the dose to .5mg EOD if your nips start getting sensitive or you start holding water. Run the adex up until the day you stat PCT then just run the nolva and clomid for PCT. HCG would be nice to add in at the end of your cycle but w/ a test only cycle it isn't 100% necessary.
