confused about adex

[bigman75]

I ran my first cycle under advice from a member (Test E 500/wk for 8 weeks) and used adex .5 ED and clomid for PCT. I didn't have any side effects or gyno, but now I'm seeing people use adex after the cycle ends. When I want to run it again, do I need anything DURING or just after?

I was thinking of 500/wk for 12 weeks followed by nolva week 14. Is there a better way?

It's really a matter of preference. Using Adex during cycle is a good ideal imo especially if your prone to gyno and you're running hcg. Some people will run it pct. Also, it's needed if running hcg during pct. Others tend to not run an AI post cycle from fear of running estrogen too low which can lower your sex drive, weaken immune system, and damage your lipid profile. In the end just research and figure out what you think is best for you.

Thanks for the advice. I just ran it during cycle for fear of gyno although I don't know if I'm prone to getting it. I just didn't want to find out once I had it I guess.

preventing your estrogen levels down during your cycle limits your gains. i would not run an ai unless you are getting gyno or suffering some other unbearable estro side.

there are several ways to do pct. i like a hcg pre pct then a pptrs and nolva pct. the dosages depend on the dosages in the cycle.

In my experience the only gain I've lost from taking an anti-estrogen is water gain.
