Right now I am tediously planning my first cycle in four years. I couldn't have done it without EF. I believe the most important part of a cycle is the end. If I do not keep most of my gains I will consider the cycle a failure.
Clomid is the key. But when to start is still shady to me. I have read a very informative post about clomid which states to start clomid 3 weeks after Equipoise and 2 weeks after Enanthate. This type of blanket treatment does not make sense to me. I think the amount of blood levels after the last shot must be taken into consideration.
For example a large doser of EQ might have 3000 mg in his body as of the last shot...and a low doser might have 1000 mg.
After 21 days, the large doser still has 1242 mg of EQ in his body.
The small doser only has 414 mg of EQ.
The following charts show the levels after 21 days for EQ and 14 days for Enanthate.
EQ Chart

I read on anabolic extreme that to get an approximation of half life for an ester, you take the number of carbon atoms and multiply by 1.5 days.
Enanthate has 7 Carbons (7 x 1.5 = 10.5 days)
Undecanoate has 11 Carbons (11 x 1.5 = 16.5)
The equation to find the levels at any given day is:
x = I x [.5^(T/H)]
I = Initial dosage (use blood level at last shot)
T = Day you are trying to figure out.
H = Half-life
example:
Half life of 1000 Enanthate after 21 days (2 half lives) should be 250.
x = 1000 x [.5^(21/10.5)]
x = 250
What is an appropriate level to start clomid?
Should I just start 3 weeks after last EQ shot?
Or should levels be closer to "natural levels"?
I think I read a post a few weeks ago which mentioned a test I could purchase to test blood levels after the cycle to aid in clomid therapy.
Could any vets help out?
