That PCT, like most, is bro-science garbage.
See the HPTA restart sticky to understand the proper goals and methods. You need to slowly taper off of Nolvadex 20mg ED to 10mg ED while taking 1/4mg anastrozole twice a week.
Your PCT would create very high LH levels expected to product high T–>E2 inside your testes with very high serum E2 levels that increase SHBG. Note that anastrozole cannot manage intratesticular T–>E2. Then your LH receptors can be down regulated and you stop PCT and your testes see a transition from high LH to lower and you expect the testes to react how to that LH change. SERM is gone and your hypothalamus is exposed to high residual E2 and you have estrogen rebound and LH/FSH are low. Back to square one or worse.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab number and ranges.
The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
