Androgel & post cycle therapy?

[bigjohnla]

I've been prescribed androgel for several years, since my testosterone tested quite low. Four weeks ago, however, I stopped the androgel because I started my first-ever cycle, at the age of 49 (deca-dbol-sust plus clomid & nolvadex).

When my cycle ends, I'm wondering (since my body doesn't make much of its own testosterone any more) will the androgel be an effective tool for pct?

Can't find any f.a.q. or other thread on this question...

After your cycle, just resume your regular dose of androgel. You don't need PCT because you are on HRT for life.........

I've been prescribed androgel for several years, since my testosterone tested quite low. Four weeks ago, however, I stopped the androgel because I started my first-ever cycle, at the age of 49 (Deca-Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - -Dianabol - methandrostenolone - -Sustanon plus clomid & nolvadex).

When my cycle ends, I'm wondering (since my body doesn't make much of its own testosterone any more) will the androgel be an effective tool for PCT - post cycle therapy - ?

Can't find any f.a.q. or other thread on this question...

i would do a search about running nolvadexx and decca together. or post in the steroid forum. I *think* its not the best idea to use nolv.adex as an anti-e while running decca. cant remember exactly why at the moment. And drop the clomiid you have no need for it. too many sides anyway.

Thanks for this info -- very useful. I researched on this forum the issue of running nolvadex and deca together, and there does not seem to be a consensus. Some say the nolvadex is useful in combating deca dick (which I have to say I have not found to be a problem, and there are pills for that anyway); others say it is not necessary to use nolvadex since it does not combat the type of gynecomastia that deca might cause. Others have said the exact opposite. But no one has really asserted that it is a bad thing to run the two together, and I see this in a number of the suggested cycles on several different boards.

Anyway, I am happy to get the advice to use less of the orals, so will skip the Clomid.

I have been working out hard for 25 years and am very pleased with my results so far on the gear, and have not found any side effects. I do notice some unexplained nasal congestion, but I have never seen anyone raise that possibility so it must be just a lingering cold.

Thanks again!

Agree.

follow up question, please: what about time between cycles for me? since that seems to be mostly about letting the body's natural testosterone production to resume, which mine won't, do I follow a different rule of thumb?

thanks

Depending on what your using, 2-3 cycles per year is plenty. If your running test. check into Finastride to protect your prostrate.

It's not just a question of getting your natural test levels back to normal... but things like lipids, liver enzymes, etc. So it's still good to give your body a decent of amount of time to rest in between cycles.

bigjohn - as per above, just resume your androgel

N/olva has nothing to do with d e c a dick. for that you use dostinex @ .5mgE4D if needed (and maybe proviron and viagra if still a problem).

the problem with d e c a and nolva is the possibility of upregulation of progesterone receptors, which in those who are sensitive MAY lead to an increased possibility of a form of gyno (schools out)

to play it safe, with nandrolones, use LOW dose letro (search out threads for dose reccomendations to start with) as your anti-aromatase

theres alot of apples and oranges and monkeys being mixed together on this issue on the boards
