Comprehensive Guide to PCT - Revised 04-05-2014 at 23:15 GMT
This means it will take 5 half lives to reach ex test at or below 50mg therefore time between last injection and start of PCT is 35 days.
HCG may be used during cycle and is consider to be a better option by many. There is a bill Roberts article that you may refer to on the subject. He suggests 500iu EOD throughout the cycle. If you did not use HCG during your cycle, here is a variation of Dr. Scally's PCT protocol for AAS users (his experience and expertise speaks for itself)
HCG 2000iu E3D for 14 days before pct start date
PCT start
1-35 Clomiphene 50mg morning and night
1-45 Tamoxifen 20mg morning and night
1-45 low dose of Exemestane 12.5mg E3D (Optional)
Thanks for all the info. I am nearing the end of my first cycle and have a couple of questions. I did have a plan, but the more you read (as a beginner), the more you start to doubt/question. I am posting my bloods in hopes someone might look at them and suggest anything (if necessary). Also question about your PCT suggestions.
For PCT, I have often heard ~14 days for test e. If I am waiting 35 days (or 14), I just continue my AI during that time and then switch to PCT? I would think about tapering AI as test levels are dropping? I am on exemstane 12.5 ED (explained below).
Also, I was thinking I would start HCG during the last weeks of my cycle--from reading suggestions. Sounds like I should wait on that as well? So, 20 days after last pin with AI only, and then HCG 2000iu E3D for 14 days, then run the PCT?
Some basic info: 500mg test e per week (2x250). The mid-cycle bloods 48 hours after my first pin of week 6. I am taking
exemestane at 12.5mg/day. I am erring on the side of caution here because I have a little
gyno from a shitty PH cycle I started and then ditched last year. Hoping that my est. levels aren't too low as a result of this dosage.
Also, should I get a lipid test--I forgot to order it, could still get one done now if it's important?
Thanks for the help!
