Hi,
Going to start my own TRT .I have got a regular supply of Testex Elmu Prolongatum at 250mg. I intend to inject once a week @ 250mg. I have the Nolva at hand but should i start using it straight the way? Or should i wait for a few weeks?
thanks nobby
From what I have read, I would not take the nolvadex unless you start feeling uncomfort/sensitivity in your nipple area. If you feel something going on, take like 40MG ED until you get it under control, then drop down to 10-20MG ED.
Also, if you do experience discomfort, and take the Nolvadex to fix it, I would recommend something like Arimidex to prevent the estrogen (E)conversion all together. Then wean off the nolvadex until/if you cycle the TRT and do PCT, but keep on the Arimidex the whole time. .25-.5 MG ED Arimidex should take care of any E problems. Maybe even .25-.5 EOD, depending on you.
With 250MG a week, it is quite possible you will not have any E problems.
I took 250 MG test Cypionate a week at about the age of 25-26 and never had any E problems. To each his own, however.
EDIT* I am not a guru, but I have done some reading. This is my 2 cents and is not written in stone.
With 30 years of training, you are not a young guy now. How young guys manage on gear may not apply to you.
100mg/wk of test esters can create too much E for some. When you get started, after 2-4 weeks, libido may go wild, then fade away by about 2 months. You will still get nocturnal wood, but if you loose morning wood, then E is probably the cause. 1mg/wk of arimidex/anastrozole is often all that many on TRT require on normal TRT doses [more like 100mg/wk].
E levels do not need to be high enough for gyno problems and may be in mid-high normal lab range and still create mood, energy, brain fog and libido problems. Best way to find out is to try the lower dose and see how you feel.
Are you going to be ok with your nuts shutting down and shrinking. For a few, that can create pain. Scrotum may also stay up tight to the body… a telltale sign.
thanks guys,
i will get back to you in a few weeks and update on the way it is going.I think i can manage the shrnken nuts i will have to see.

i actually apreciated the shrunken nuts, I have big thighs so they have always been getting crushed and are constantly in the way.
there was some pain when they were shrinking but they were fine once they were little and clinging to my gooch.
