I've been off cycle for several weeks, my PCT was/is consisting of HCG 500ius ED/Nova 25mgED/ Exemestane 25mg ED
Did not experience "any" acne when I was on cycle....Test e. at 600mg/Eg. at 500mg a week, now my back looks like the fcking lunar landing.
Is this normal in PCT, or maybe was it the HCG...which I finished yesterday.
Anyone had similiar problems?
it's normal. hormones all over the shop
low test levels with high estrogen level's
Alright, had me worried there for a bit:scratch:Quote:

Has your diet changed since coming off?
Diet is basically the same. I have noticed that I'm having a surge in strength gain:scratch: sounds strange but I'm telling you I'm stronger now than ever...three weeks off juice....maybe this is normal.Quote:

So, how can a guy figure this into his next cycle and try to stop it?
All you can do is scrub twice a day with an anti bacterial soap. I have an alchahol based antibiotic lotion I use as well, so I hit the little fvckers as soon as I see themQuote:

hell yeah it comes w/ PCT, actually if your a big gear head like myself you'll stay broken out the entire time your off the damn cycle, then when you get back on it your skin gets clear as can be,hehheeeh

I find anytime there is a fluctuation in hormones, acne comes to surface easier... such as, beginning or end of a cycle; or an otherwise change in dose patterns...
Warrior...I would have thought that as well but....my dosages throught out the cycle varied and in the beginning I had "no" acne problems at all...just in PCT:scratch:Quote:

aint that the truth.Quote:

Some people get bad acne only when starting and ending a cycle - while others get it beginning, middle and end due to AR sensitivity with in the epidermis...Quote:
