    What PCT did you run ? How long was your cycle ? Did you run an AI and HCG ? What else was checked besides test, specifically - LH, Estradiol, T3, FSH, and Prolactin. Do you have any signs of gyno or are your nipples sore/sensitive ? What is the reference range for your test results ?

    PCT was clomid and nolva
    100/100/50/50
    40/40/20/20

    Cycle was 16 weeks stoped deca at week14

    I used liquid stane for AI and yes HCG for the last month of injections and up to PCT

    Tyroid was normal.
    FSH and LH were both a little low

    No signs of gyno.

    Thanks

    Your PCT was inadequate in my opinion, something like this should have been run:

    wk 1-8 Tamox 20mg/ED (40mg/ED first 7 days)
    wk 1-8 Tore 60mg/ED (120mg/ED first 14 days, 100mg/ED next 7 days)
    *HCG 250ius 2-3 times/wk (on cycle, every 8-10 weeks take a 2-3 week break [E2/PgR])
    *HCG should also be ramped to 500ius 14-21 days from PCT
    *Aromasin 10mg/EOD (on cycle)

    I'd message swifto and see what he recommends. I imagine he might say try 4 weeks of Tamo @ 20/20/10/10 and then get rechecked.

    Since all the precursors are low, HCG would also be a good idea. It mimics LH, so HCG can act like LH while your body prduces it.

    One thing however, i love how much crap i get for a nolva only pct (provided HCG during cycle) and that its bad and etc...

    but copied and pasted is basically the same thing. Swiftos aggressive pct was posted, IMO is a WORSE pct than the OP did.
    Tore and tamox are essentially the same thing. So a nolva only PCT is bad... but a nolva/tore pct is ok? when nolva and tore and tamox all basically hit the same receptor (tore is a 2nd generation, so better sides but still same mechanism of action).
    so the pasted 'aggressive' pct is pretty much the same as a nolva only pct.

    how much HCG and how often did u do it during ur cycle?
