is an AI necessary during a cycle

[freakon]

I am not prone to gyno is there any other reason to use an AI? The reason i ask is... i cant get any aromasin at the moment cause our sponser is all out the only thing i have is clomid. If required would the clomid suffice until i can get some aromasin?I was thinking of using adex but am afraid of the estrogen rebound. not really sure how to taper off. thanks bro

I took aromasin during this cycle I am on now. I'm only dosing 500 mg/wk of TEST E and something is happening to me now in wk 7. Lost my libido and getting fatigue. I wish I knew more, but I'm guessing that I knocked the hell out of my estrogen. Keep in mind that I am only a novice at this stuff, so better to get a more experienced opinion.

I dont prefer an AI on a first cycle. Im not sure if this is your first? I think you would be better off going without one and keeping Nolva on hand in case you run into any problems. At the same time you should pick up some more Nolva for PCT because Clomid alone is not sufficient enough

I ran three cycles about 2 years ago. After that its.been a ph for 2. My cycle was test,deca,and d-bol. I used nova and clomid as my pct including my ph cycles. I just can't remember using an ai. I didn't get any estrogen related sides either while doing an m- drol cycle for the last 2 yrs.
How quickly would any estrogen related sides take to show up? I was thinking of doing another test/deca cycle for 10 wks and using m-drol for the first four weeks as a kickstart. If any estrogen sides don't start appearing for at least 2weeks then I might be ok cause I should have my aromasin then or should I wait for my AI to arrive first? I am hoping that the clomid I have could be used temporarily. Thanks bro.

There is no way to say when exactly one would notice estrogenic sides. If you havent experienced them in the past then its somewhat safe to say you wont have a problem now. Is that guaranteed? No but most likely you will be fine

Its always best to have a SERM like Nolva on hand in case something does pop up. And no Clomid will do nothing

wouldnt it be better to have adex or aromasin during cycle for gyno and the nolva for pct?

I would save the nolva for pct and have exemestane on hand for cycle.
