    PCT Needed if on HRT
    on: 2015-01-04 07:58:40
    I'm 47 year old male been on HRT via Androgel 1% (50mg) 2 packets ED. Been on this for about 6-7 years. My free test levels prior to HRT were low 200s after HRT mid-500s according to my annual lab tests. I've run one cycle of test-e (500mg) and Andriol and I've started a new cycle of test-e (500mg) weekly and Dbol 20mg ED. I run 20 mg Nolvadex ED to mitigate gynocomastia but my question is about PCT...If I'm on HRT do I need to follow the standard PCT protocol of Clomid and HCG or is that just a waste of time and money given my testes size and production will never really return to full capacity?

    Hey bro, for your estrogen protection, you'd be much much better off using an AI, like adex. Nolvadex does not reduce the estrogen in your body. It only limits the receptors that the estrogen can attach to. An AI will keep your estrogen levels in the normal range. Then if you still had a gyno issue, you can always take some nolva while you adjust your ai dose. 

    To answer your question, no, if you are on HRT, when you come off, all you need to do is go back to your HRT plan about 2 wks after your last shot since your goal is not to recover natural production. You may need to run the adex a little longer and slowly reduce as you transition back into HRT. It wouldn't hurt to see where your estogen levels are on HRT and if needed, include the AI during HRT as well. Good question, bro
