Opinions on proviron in PCT

[Nate Dawg]

I have read lots of conflicting data on the use of proviron in PCT. I remember reading through a few threads on here awhile back on a couple members that actually had blood work done during PCT and they were running proviron during that time and their test/LH/FSH levels did recover even though they were on proviron. I think it would probably be wisest not to do it, but I am always up for a little experimenting. I was thinking somewhere around 25-50mg/day, definitely not over 50mg/day. It would help free up what little test there is at the moment (given test levels are able to recover), reduce a little estrogen and hopefully keep fat gain to a minimum while eating over maintenance.

As far as the cycle I will be coming off of, it is around 24 weeks long, been running HCG 3x week at 500IU. For my post cycle it will look like this:

Week 1: 150mg clomid/ 60mg nolva/ 250IU HCG 2x week/ .25mg adex/day
Week 2: 100mg clomid/ 60mg nolva/ 250IU HCG 2x week/ .25mg adex/day
Week 3: 50mg clomid/ 40mg nolva/ 250IU HCG 2x week/ .25mg adex/day
Week 4: 40mg nolva/ .25mg adex/day
Week 5: 20mg nolva/ .25mg adex/day
Week 6-7: .25mg adex/day

I will also be running ZMA, Trib, Longjack, Maca, DHEA, Activate by Designer Supplements, creatine and hopefully IGF in weeks 3-6 @ 30mcg/day. I know many are against running an AI in PCT, but this is a protocol by Pheedno at some other boards and many have been having good luck with it.

If I did the proviron I would probably run it the first 4 weeks of PCT. So what are you guy's opinions on the use of proviron in PCT? All help is greatly appreciated!!

I love Proviron in PCT.... Hardens you up, minimizes estrogen effects.... I think youre on the money about using only for 4 weeks in PCT.... Best to eliminate all androgens in the last weeks of the PCT, and that's when you'll be starting IGF.... I say try it if you never have....

Do you think that test levels will be able to rebound while on proviron and running pct meds?

i dont like it in PCT it will negatively effect your HPTA and hinder your natural hormonal recovery.

That's what I used to think. I've seen studies that show the opposite though. It may actually help with spermatogenesis.

Interesting responses guys, I appreciate it!! Keep it coming, K to all.

Sure they will.... Youre only running it for 4 weeks, and it clears out pretty quick.... It's Proviron, not Tren, it doesn't shut you down super hard, so it wont' be hard to recover from..... Not to mention that you'll be taking IGF1 when you stop the Proviron.... IGF has been known to help get your Natural Test going faster.... I'm just telling you what I have done in the past with good results.... I like Proviron in PCT.....

Thanks Prizz, just the only thing I am having a hard time seeing is that since my natty test levels will be absolutely zilch coming off, if the use of proviron, even though mild, will keep this suppressed, or since it is so mild and the SERMS/AI/herbs are being taken that test levels will be able to rebound during this. I am not wanting to use the proviron as an extension of the cycle, hopefully will recover the test while on it. I think it should work fine from some of the blood results I have seen, and it seems estrogen is the main culprit in causing shutdown, since proviron doesnt aromatize and anti-e's are being taken I think it should work out alright.

all i can say is i used proviron for 1st time last 8 weeks of previous cycle and through 3 weks of pct, and i've never felt so fully and quickly rebounded after coming off. stayed about same weight and i'm off for over a month. i will use proviron in all future cycles w/ pct.

I wouldn't use it in PCT myself. To the best of my knowledge, it will keep you shut down. Now there are many conflicting arguments on this and different studies saying maybe not. Maybe is not a good enough gamble IMO.
