Coming off cycle soon — Primo running out, taper Test or stop cold? HCG? PCT timing?

Hey guys,

I’m wrapping up a cycle in a few weeks and would appreciate some advice from anyone experienced with coming off cleanly.

Here’s my current protocol:

  • 500mg Test/week (split into 2)

  • 300mg Primo/week (split into 3)

  • Anavar 50mg/day

  • Clen (on/off)

  • HCG 300iu 3x/week

I had low E2 earlier in the cycle — fatigue, headaches, low libido — but since starting HCG, I’ve felt much better. Things are pretty stable now.

The issue is I’ll be running out of Primo during the last week of the cycle. I’ll still have Test and HCG to finish the week, but no more Primo after a certain point.

Also worth mentioning — I have a photoshoot planned for August 25th, and my last Test shot will be August 19th.

Here’s what I’d like your input on:

  • Should I taper the Test dose during the final week (like half dose), or just stop it cold?

  • Should I continue HCG all the way until PCT, or stop it when the cycle ends?

  • With Primo dropping off, could I run into E2 rebound issues from the HCG or the change in balance?

  • I’ll be doing Clomid and Nolva for PCT — when would you suggest starting it if I taper vs. stop cold?

Just trying to land everything cleanly and avoid surprises with E2 or recovery — especially heading into the shoot. Would appreciate any advice from those who’ve been through something similar.

Thanks a lot.

I would stop the test three weeks prior to the shoot if your taking E or C to let the test clear and dry out. Then start pct right after.
Stop the hcg as well.
