Did not need PCT!?!?!!

[mthomps5]

I recently came of my first AS cycle *not including some light PH cycles.... a 12 week cycle of test enanth at 500mg/week. I gained a good 15-20 lbs (depending on whats in my stomach) and i am now almost 4 weeks after my last injection..and i have kept a great 13lbs empty stomach. I was advised, and after doing a good deal of research, that sometimes your body can recover just as quick without the use of a PCT. Actually, taking a PCT when not needed can be detrimental to gains and recovery. So i was going to hold off on the PCT until i felt that my body needed it (weight loss, fucked up libido or depression, signs of gyno, etc.).
I had arimidex and nolva on hand throughout cycle and probably took nolva at 20mg for a few days while i had some unecessary gyno paranoia. I also took an OTC estrogen blocker called estrodex during the last week of my cycle.(estrodex is supposed to increase nat test and shut down estrogen receptors in breast tissue)
I came off my cycle and decided i was going to try and go without starting my nolva pct 2 weeks after last injection. It is 4 weeks after last injection and i have kept all but about 6 lbs of my weight. Strength is STILL INCREASING.
My libido is still going strong..not problems there. No problems with lethargy or depression. Still got the test flowing through them balls.
What do you all think about this??? Are PCT's always necessary or is it something people do everytime out of paranoia.
I feel it is imperative to always have a PCT on hand...but why use it if you dont have to???
I am already planning for my next cycle. HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT BEFORE BEGINNING a LIGHT TEST CYCLE AGAIN.
I took no PCT and felt like i never came off..!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should i still wait another 8 weeks before my next cycle. (a very light test cycle.....maintenance we'll say>)))

THANKS GUYS FOR ALL THE HELP THROUGH MY FIRST CYCLE

Did you do blookwork before you started your cycle? I bet if you did and you did bloodwork now it would speak differently too you...why do PCT when you dont have to? how can you even gauge that?? Why use a condom when you might not have to...point is you dont know when you will and when you wont, but tell you what...always strap one on no matter what and always do PCT no matter what..fuck the guessing game.

In the past when I have gone without pct I have noticed its a gradual effect of losing wieght. Sometimes it was just a pound a week. It will continue though.
Also, if you get your bf% done you will find that even though the scale may not be much different your composition is. When you come off you body isn't as anabolic.

I have to agree swordfish, always do your PCT. Since no bloodwork you have no clue.

Better do a light PCT real quick or risk losing most of your gains.

I can stick my head up a bulls ass and get a good look at a T-Bone, or I can take my butchers word for it. Do PCT.
