personally i use clomid, and nolva together. no side affects from the clomid. side affects are relative to the user. some users dont get side affects easy, or some do get sides but not enough to bother with.

i also use HCG at the same protocol you do.

plus, since i always prefer to run a 19-nor, i also use Caber during PCT. It helps alot with the lull in your sex drive and getting that penis hard.

oh and can you link me up to the scientific info that states Nolva and Arimidex shouldnt be used in conjuction? I use them both during PCT (along with the hcg, caber and clomid) and recover just fine. I got nice big bloated balls to show as evidence if you would like to see.
