No, nolva will help with recovery.....I don't mean to say it won't. However, "recover just fine" is often how people refer to their pct, whatever it may have included. There isn't any question that over the short term (`30 days) clomid is far superior at increasing LH and test, that's been well-established and rehashed in more threads on more boards than almost anything. In fact, on a short term basis (where the period is similar to PCT), clomid is far superior. People can go ahead and harken back to the studies Llewelyn cites, but they are at 3-6months in duration, and he takes the final numbers out of context and neglects the acute effects, the effects relevant to us.
Nolva is much better than no PCT, but it isn't comparable to clomid pct.
That all being said, clomid alone isn't comparable to using clomid WITH nolva and a low dose AI.
The ability to recover endogenous test production ASAP shortens the length of time one is in an androgen-deprived state and greatly increases the potential to keep gains.
People that have swithced over have attested to the difference in gains kept. I've got feedback from people keeping 25/27lbs, 26/30lbs, 23/27lbs, and other similar results, as opposed to the results we've grown to expect, like 15/25lbs kept. When it comes to retaining 15-30% more of your gains, it's pretty significant IMO. I'm not saying those numbers will be yours, but the fact is that using 3 compounds that complement each other during pct will greatly enhance the effects.
the faster you regain HPTA function, the more gains kept.
The sides from clomid are a result of rapid hormone fluxes......acne, emotional swings....all common during puberty, menstruation, AAS cycles with fluctuating plasma levels, menopause, etc
