PCT, really needed with my cycle?

I am currently running on tren 75mg eod, gonna run this for a total of 6 weeks. Because i dont really think that araoma or reduction in natural test levels will occur i havent planned to run any post treatment.

However, lately one of my buds that are running the same cycle as i do now, started worrying a lot about tiny nuts, big tits and no libido. I were reading up on the subject, have tons of guides and bibles laying around, but there isnt really anything indicating that i need a post treatment as far as i can tell. Ofcause running some might not be a bad idea or rather, might not cause any harm, but my final question is..

Will it be needed? I can live with acne, no problem, actually i dont care, i got some rocutane that i will run if it gets too bad, but tits and no nuts worries me as well, now that he got all hysterical about it...

Help needed =)
 
Absolutely! I would not run any cycle with out PCT.
Tren is one of the worst offenders of side effects! Your prolactin levels are going crazy already!
Run HCG in the middle.. week three. 500iu's a day for ten days.
Rund Clomid after in the 300/100/50 fashion.
If you like the gains you make and would like to keep them.. You must always use PCT. If you want future cycle to be the most effective they can always be... You must always use PCT.
*Anyone who tells you PCT is not important should make you consider the source! It is extremely important for your health and also your gains.
** I will never, ever, do a cycle without PCT in place before hand. I have before and it was a total and complete waist of time!

You said to run clomid 300/100/50. Is that 3 dose's, 1 a week? What quantities are you administering the clomid and at what intervals. How much total should you consume post cycle? I am going to start:

30 mg Dianabol/day 4 weeks = 840 mg's
250 mg/week sustanon 250 6 weeks = 1500 mg's.

When should I start Clomid?
 
Here is some good info that you will like:

Time after
last administration Length of
Clomid Cycle
Anadrol50/Anapolan50: 8 - 12 hours 3 weeks
Deca durabolan: 3 weeks 4 weeks
Dianabol: 4 - 8 hours 3 weeks
Equipoise: 17 - 21 days 3 weeks
Finajet/Trenbolone: 3 days 3 weeks
Primabolan depot: 10 - 14 days 2 weeks
Sustanon: 3 weeks 3 weeks
Testosterone Cypionate: 2 weeks 3 weeks
Testosterone Enanthate/Testaviron: 2 weeks 3 weeks
Testosterone Propionate: 3 days 3 weeks
Testosterone Suspension: 4 - 8 hours 2-3 weeks
Winstrol 8 - 12 hours 2-3 weeks


How To Take Clomid
Clomid has a long half-life (possibly 5 days), so there is no need to split up doses throughout the day. If Sustanon has been used and Clomid is commenced 3 weeks after the last injection, I would estimate that androgen levels are low enough to start sending the correct signals. If androgen levels are still a little high, we need to start at a high enough amount that will work or help, even if androgen levels are still a little high. Try 300mg on day 1; then use 100mg for the next 10 days; followed by 50mg for 10 days.

Using HCG
It is our opinion that HCG is probably one of the most misunderstood and misused compounds in bodybuilding. Hopefully this information will go some way towards rectifying that for the members of MuscleTalk. HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin and is not a steroid, but a natural peptide hormone which develops in the placenta of pregnant women during pregnancy to controls the mother's hormones. (Incidentally, this is the reason you may hear of people testing for growth hormone (HGH) with a pregnancy testing kit - If their HGH shows 'pregnant', they've been ripped-off with cheaper HCG - but we digress slightly).

Its action in the male body is like that of LH, stimulating the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone even in the absence of endogenous LH. HCG is therefore used during longer or heavier steroid cycles to maintain testicular size and condition, or to bring atrophied (shrunken) testicles back up to their original condition in preparation for post-cycle Clomid therapy. This process is necessary because atrophied testicles produce reduced levels of natural testosterone, this situation should be rectified prior to post-cycle Clomid therapy.

HCG administration post-cycle is common practice among bodybuilders in the belief that it will aid the natural testosterone recovery, but this theory is unfounded and also counterproductive. The rapid rise in both testosterone, and thus oestrogen due to aromatisation, from the administration of HCG causes further inhibition of the HPTA (Hypothalamic/Pituitary/Testicular Axis - feedback loop discussed above); this actually worsens the recovery situation. HCG does not restore the natural testosterone production.

The typically observed dosing of 2000 to 5000IU every 4 to 5 days causes such an increase in oestrogen levels via aromatisation of the natural testosterone that this has been responsible for many cases of gynecomastia.

From the above discussion it is clear that HCG is best used during a cycle, either to:

1) Avoid testicular atrophy, or
2) Rectify the problem of an existing testicular atrophy.

Doses of HCG
Smaller doses, more frequently during a cycle will give best overall results with least unwanted side effects. Somewhere between 500iu and 1000iu per day would be best over about a two-week period. These doses are sufficient to avoid/rectify testicular atrophy without increasing oestrogen levels too dramatically and risking gynecomastia. This dosing schedule also avoids the risk of permanently down-regulating the LH receptors in the testes.

Presentation and Administration of HCG
Synthetic HCG is often known as Pregnyl (generic name) and is available in 2500iu and 5000iu (not ideal for the above doses!). Administration of the compound is either by intra-muscular or subcutaneous injection. It comes as a powder which needs to be mixed with the sterile water. The powder is temperature-sensitive prior to mixing and should not be exposed to direct heat. After mixing, it should be kept refrigerated and used within a few weeks - though there are sterility issues which need to be considered after mixing.

I will PM you the rest of it!
 
I am not real sure about tren but I have definitely run some mild cycles without PCT. I am not the only vet on here that does it!

If I run a harsh cycle I will use HCG during it.
 
So my plan is now to run 500ui of HCG mid cycle for 10 days. Then 3 days after cycle ends i start with 300mg of clomid, then for the next 10 days i run 100mg and then for 10 days i run 50mg.

Still, 75mg tren-acet EOD is really mild id say, but better safe than sorry, right?
