Mesterolone (Proviron) in PCT?

**BJJ** · 05-12-2010, 05:45 AM

In about 10 days I will begin my PCT, consisting in:

Clomid: 100/50/50/50
Tamox: 40/20/20/20

I was thinking to add Proviron at 50 mg ed throughout.

Any experience about it?

I was going to run Proviron during PCT since the profiles say that it may help to restore HPTA function, as well as controlling estrogen. I got slammed on another board... with members claiming that Proviron can be suppressive.

I also considered running it as a bridge, but was told that it was too weak. I am still waiting on my Proviron to run with my current cycle. In the meantime I am using Adex

ive read different things on this subject...i believe one study i read is that it supressed hpta in some and some it didnt, so just on the fact that some were supressed i wouldnt suggest it in pct....

im sure swifto will chime in, i believe i read the study from one of his posts...

My first couple of cycles I used it in conjunction with Nolva and Clomid and I liked it. I also used it in a recreational way as I could pop a bone without thinking about sex. However, the past couple of orders I placed, I must have received fake proviron as it didn't do ANYTHING...so I am bummed.

I'd do it again without a doubt!

my experience says it is suppressive during pct.

I've read 50mg and up is too suppresive. Some have utilized 25 mg with anectodal success.

Good to know, if anyone tries this during PCT, please let me know. I'm starting my next cycle soon and it would be cool to run it during my PCT.

There will be also HGH during PCT.

So, BUMP

well iv used ROHM pct caps for pct and found them great - they contain 25mg of proviron . i actually did an 8week pct

wk1-4 - nolva and clomid
wk5-8 - ROHM caps and tribulus

had great recovery from this.

i was also on HGH and used HCG in large quantities at the start of pct to get my balls back online

I have seen many people come on here posting that they have not recovered properly and used proviron during pct. Though not everyone may remained shut down from it I wouldn`t use it in pct ever myself.

Proviron during PCT is hit and miss. Its very inidividual so its suggested one experiements.

The studies on Proviron show it is not suppressive at doses upto 150mg/ED. Others say it stimulated LH production and some say it suppressed the HPTA.

Using an androgen alone (off cycle) is not the same as using the androgen during PCT (when hypogondal) and trying to restart the HPTA. Studies state its not inhibitive when off cycle, but they dont exist stating its not inhibitive during PCT.

I wrote an article on this a few years back. I suggested it for PCT. It will boost labido, give androgenic support, reduce SHBG (SERMs increase it) and estrogen. There all good factors during PCT. But there not good if it hinder the most important function of PCT; To restore the HPTA back to baseline (or above) values.

There are other herbs that can be used to lower SHBG and boost labido now. Proviron may also be too good at reducing SHBG during PCT as some SHBG is needed during PCT (testisterone synthesis).

One needs to experiment. A good starting dose is 25mg/ED if you decide to use it. If BW confirms it hinder PCT, drop it. If not, continue to use it. There is no right answer here, like so much we do, experience and advise.

Well since in my only anavar cycle proviron kept my LH values up, I believe it could be of help during PCT. We'll see.

Thanks for your reply.

I like running it at 50mg through and a little past PCT for estrogen insurance. Heck, even 25mg will do the trick if you're using quality tabs. It's VERY mild and to say it's suppressive is just bro science. Try it, you'll see what I mean.

75-100mg on cycle and 25-50mg off cycle is great IME.

I think it's case dependant some people have recovery problems for sure with it. I`m not saying it's conclussive but I have heard of enough people who ran clomid/nolva/proviron or some combo like that and didnt recover to make me think it is affecting atleast some peoples recovery.

Since I am using somatropin, I decided not to use it.

**Hazard** · 06-09-2010, 01:15 PM

BJJ - are you starting your HGH prior to your pct? Just curious.....

I started it in the last 2 weeks of the bulking period and I will keep using somatropin till the end of the year.

So to answer your question, yes I was.

NO...not during PCT. PROVIRON is an AAS and can still have an effect on a recovering natural hormone balance.
