Hi everyone!!
I have been reading posts on T-Nation for years and have learnt many things but have never posted!
Im currently running my 3rd cycle and im facing some complication and have some PCT questions.
My cycle is about to finish in 2 weeks.
week 1 to 4:
sus 250 (1xpw)
week 4 to 8:
Test Prop - 100mg M/W/F (300 total PW)
Mast - 100mg M/F
Primo - 100mg M/F
Proviron 50mg (daily)
Adex - 1mg E3D
Bloods done - E2 in higher range (still within range)
Week 8 to 14 (2 weeks left for my cycle - currently at week 12):
Test Prop - 100mg M/W/F (300 total PW)
Tren Ace - 50mg M/W/F (150 total PW)
Anavar - 50mg (daily)
Proviron 50mg (daily)
Adex - 1mg E3D
At week 11 i was told to increase my Adex to 1mg EOD.
Bloods done:
E2 34.78 pg/ml - Range 10 to 50
Prolcatin 6.03 ng/ml - Range 4.06 to 15.3
1 week after increasing the adex i have noticed that im having erection problems. i decided to dial back the adex to 1 E3D. Feeling very lethargic and down.
My Question are:
- Complication
do you think my erection problem is cause by the increase of adex (anastrozol) even though the E2 is not very low? now that its Dialed back how long would it take to get back to normal?
- PCT
I have Nolva / Clomid / HCG / Adex on hand for my PCT.
How long should i wait after my last pin to start my PCT protocol?
Will Adex be needed during PCT or just nolva and clomid?
what would you suggest as a PCT protocol for the above cycle?
thank you all !
Why? There’s no reason to touch an AI unless you’re experiencing high e2 symptoms. Dial it back down or stop the AI completely and let your e2 recover.
Nolva 40/40/20/20 for 4 weeks or 20mg/day for 6 weeks.
You’re using short esters so wait a week after your last injection.
I’d skip the adex.
would you suggest dialing it down or stopping the AI altogether?
Is there any reason to not use clomid? just asking out of curiosity.
I would stop altogether at least until you start to feel normal again. I wouldn’t need any AI at the doses you’re taking but if you are dead set on using arimidex, then try 0.25mg, twice per week. Again, if you have no high E2 symptoms, an AI is unnecessary. Why add drugs if you don’t have to?
You could use clomid and you would probably be fine. Nolvadex is the preferred choice because it has less side effects for the majority of people.
I apreciate your inputs and will stop the AI.
Hope to get back on track before my cycle ends.
Now that I have stopped the AI for a couple of days, I must say I do already feel better. My energy is up and most importantly the erection problem is almost completely solved.
However, I feel that I’m retaining water, I know this due to my watch fitting, my ring and from the mirror around my midsection.
Is this related to me stopping the AI? Should I do anything about it as in about 13 days I’ll be doing a photoshoot and I want to be at my best .
Thank you again for all your inputs everyone.

I would drop all the drugs 1-1.5 weeks out from the shoot. You’ll drop the water your holding and tighten up.
Can you post a pic of your current physique?
Just to give the latest update,
I did some bloods this morning the results are as below :
E2 49.66 pg/ml - Range 10 to 50
Prolcatin 5.75 ng/ml - Range 4.06 to 15.3
I still have have a couple more doses to do, 3 to be exact as below:
Test 100
Tren 50
Hcg 1500iu weekly.
Do I need to fix anything or add adex at this stage ?
My plan is to start PCT one week exactly after my last injection as below :
Nolva 40/40/20/20
Clomid 100/50/50/50
Please let me know if I should be adjusting anything or all looks fine .
On another note, I’m still having some major erection and libido problems
Thank you for all the support
I have been receiving some conflicting facts regarding my PCT from some mates at my local gym! They have told me to wait 3 weeks prior to starting my PCT, however, everything I have read online regarding Test P and Tren A says to start 1 week after the last shot.
Some experience here would be highly apreciated 
If your taking test P then you can start pct in just over a week. I’d go 1.5 weeks just to be sure it’s cleared.

Thank you bro!!
Test P and Tren A would clear at about the same time?
