Research and Considerations for a First Cycle

[5150TIME]

Well, thank you very much for the welcome messages and sorry for posting a message that long. I suppose most users won't scroll down and read all that, so basically the questions I had were, by topic (couldn't quite answer these using introdutory threads available here):


HCG
Is it clever to wait 1 week to start HCG on the beginning of the cycle, so that I avoid the risk of aromatizing (gyno) before having Aromasin built up in my system?

Should I really stop taking HCG ~7 days before starting the SERMs (PCT), as HCG is "suppressive" and will not be synergic with the SERMS?

Even though I plan to take HCG throughout all the cycle, is it useful to up the dose (not by much) in the period between the last testosterone pin and the beginning of PCT, as outlined above, in order to give a "boost" to my natural testosterone production (similar to the guys who do not take HCG during cycle and then take it at very high doses just before PCT)


Aromasin
Should I stop Aromasin the day before starting SERMs ("PCT"), or should I stop earlier for a reason?


PCT
Does my PCT seem too long? Will it hurt to take those 4 last weeks (in blue) of Nolvadex at 20mg (stopping earlier if necessary, depending on low estrogen symptoms)? Just for safety sake

Should I take an additional blood exam in the middle of the "bridge" or "waiting period" before PCT for any reason (in addition to the "mandatory" ones outlined above)? What should I look at? Can the results alter my PCT plan in any way? (Timing, etc.)


Testosterone Enanthate / Timing for starting PCT
This one might seem like a dumb question, but this is surprisingly not clear anywhere. What is the half-life of Test E and/or how should I look at it in terms of timing for leaving my system?

Why most places call for a 14-day wait for starting PCT while some people say 21 or even up to 35 days of wait for enanthate? Does the fact that I am taking Aromasin during cycle right up to PCT makes it “more safe” for me to wait a little bit more than the usual “14 days” to start PCT?
