I ran it at the end of my cycle, as I didn't use it during.
Some people don't run it at all.
From my experience, blasting 5000iu per week, for the last 2 weeks, BEFORE pct, went well.
Testicular atrophy was noticeably reduced.
Your PCT looks a tad harsh, I did lower dosages (but for longer to be safe) and recovery was fine, but everyone is different, just listen to your body and look out for symptoms of high/low test/estro.
