    did my homework...critique my PCT for my first cyle

    hey guys, just trying to finalize all the plans for my first cycle before i get things rolling. done alot of research/eading and my head feels like its about to explode but here goes. btw please lets keep this about the PCT and not the actual cycle

    cycle: 6-8weeks of test prop
    **for an AI on cycle (should i need it) either A-Dex or Aromasin**

    PCT: nolva + clomid


    okay heres my questions
    -i know arimidex isnt a good idea for PCT because of the effect it and nolva have on each other. for this reason i will run the proper dose of aromasin in my PCT. However for on cycle estro control could i just use aromasin as well or is there a specific reason to use arimidex instead?

    -i have some pre-existing eye/vision problems and for this reason i am veryyy apprehensiveabout taking clomid. it seems that the vision issues only come at higher dosages, but all the same i dont feel comfortable taking it. assuming i did only a short 6wk cycle of prop, would clomid be absolutely neccessary for my PCT? I know clomid and nolva do seperate things and have different benefits respectively, im just curious if it would be safe to get away with not taking it or will i have to suck it up and take it regardless of cycle length?

    hard to critique a pct when you didn't list one. we need compounds, dosages and durations for critique. personally I would use clomid and nolva for pct. on your first cycle you don't really know that you will need an ai, if one is called for I would use arimidex at .25mg/eod and adjust as needed.

    oops, total brainfart on that one haha.

    planning on

    weeks 1-2: nolva 40mg + 20mg aromasin
    weeks 2-4: nolva 20mg + 20mg aromasin

    from what i have read there isnt a rebound effect with aromasin so the dosage could be kept the same throughout or slightly tapered down to 10mg in the last week or two?

    i'll get some a-dex just to have as an insurance policy for any sides that may pop up on cycle. been looking into HCG and many people reccomend it on cycle as well, i figure since its cheap enough it would hurt to do 250iu twice weekly...even though its a short cycle, the consensus seems to be better to use it than not as it greatly helps with a quicker and fuller recovery.

    allright guys...i did some deep deeepp thinking and decided im going to hold off a little longer. everyone is preaching the whole "potentially screw up test levels for life and have permanent limp dick, etc, etc", that is the ONLY thing i am worried about. while im sure i could pull of a cycle like this no worse for the wear, my safe (b*tch) side is telling me to hold off a bit longer

    i appreciate the help and advice you did offer though!
