Would I need to take HCG for a 10 week Test-E cycle?

[tarheelsrule44]

This would be my first cycle, haven't bought anything yet and I'm really just researching for the time being.

Here's what I'm thinking:

500mg/week Test-E with nolvadex for pct

I like it because it's real simple and pretty inexpensive. My question though, is would I even need to take HCG with this short of a cycle? I've read it both ways and just want some opinions. I could afford the HCG but would rather not dish out the 50 or so dollars for 10,000IU of the stuff, even for 5000IUs it would run me about 40.

Since it's my first cycle though, I don't want to mess anything up.

I would recommend Clomid and nolvadex for PCT. And have an AI for OCT especially with test-e IMO.

as for HCG it goes both ways. I would like to hear some peoples opinion as well.

I hear some people swear by it, while others have it in case their balls shrink and wont use it.

Just read the sh*t out of swifto HCG post. After reading everybody's comment I would definitely recommend it!

But if your going to use HCG you will definitely need an AI during OCT.

Basically the best protocol IMO and from reading everybody's opinion is:

1-10 week test-e 250mg (Mon and Thu)
1-10 week AI: Arimidex 0.25mg eod
4-12 week HCG 250ui twice a week
13-16 week 40/20/20/20
13-16 week 100/50/50/50

I'm planning a 12 week Test E cycle in October and this is what I will be doing. I might go 40/40/20/20 for the nolvadex though.

Anybody else would like to give some advice?
