Winstrol and PCT

[annihil8tion]

Question - please set me straight....

If one does a cycle of just Winstrol - does it alter hormone levels to where a post cycle is needed?

I'm interested in this one.

I'm thinking of doing prop 100mg eod and winstrol 50mg x3/wk for 6 weeks and then 3 wks pct 6 weeks off and back on again same cycle. Won't go into details but due to acne and a lot of research this seems like the way to go.
Not to Forget PCT would be 1500iu HCG e3d X3 and
1 40mg nolva
2 40mg nolva
3 20mg nolva

Here is one study of Winstrols effect on hormone levels:

Anabolic steroids have widespread metabolic effects but, to date, their proven clinical indications have been limited. Recently the 17 α-alkylated steroid, stanozolol, has been shown to be of value in a variety of commonly occurring vascular diseases. Its endocrine effects have received little attention and we have investigated the effect of administering a 14 d course of stanozolol (10 mg orally per day) on a variety of important hormonal pathways in nine healthy male subjects. Significant changes occurred as follows: a 55% reduction in serum testosterone levels was noted and was accompanied by reductions in ‘derived’ free testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin and LH levels; total T4 and T3 levels fell in association with a decrease in thyroxine binding globulin, but no alteration was detected in TSH or free T4 levels. Changes in vitamin D status, with falls in 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and vitamin D binding globulin were also observed. These effects were reversible on stopping treatment. Stanozolol therapy therefore leads to a number of hormonal changes, probably by an action at both pituitary and hepatic levels.

So two weeks of running Winny 10mg/day caused serum test levels to drop 55%. What do you think a 6 week cycle at 50mg/day will do? I'd say run pct.
