ok after fully reading anthony roberts article as opposed to skimming it i'm even more opposed to what he's written
by his logic you should be able to use Nolva on cycle and NOT get shut down .. HCG is suppressive and Nolva will not "unsuppress" you while you are still adding the exogenous compound .. if it did do that than you could take nolva on cycle with test and still produce your own test .. but we all know it doesn't work that way
See this also not by hooker . Good study though!! Do you have studies that show how suppressive HCG is when used in conjuction with nolva and aromasin?? Again not trying to argue with you at all. All the studies I read show that nolva/ aromasin block the suppressive nature of HCG!! heres one study!!
Effect of an antiestrogen on the testicular response to acute and chronic administration of hCG in normal and hypogonadotropic hypogonadic men: tamoxifen and testicular response to hCG.

The effect of the antiestrogen tamoxifen (Tx) on the acute and chronic hCG administration was evaluated in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) and in normal men. An hCG test (5000 IU hCG) was performed before, after two months of hCG administration (2000 IU hCG three times weekly) and after two months of hCG + Tx (2000 IU hCG three times weekly plus 20 mg/day of tamoxifen). Blood samples were obtained before and following 24 and 72 h of every test to determine T, E, 17OHP and SHBG. T increased only in HH with both treatments (X +/- SEM: Basal: 97.9 +/- 19.7; hCG: 237.7 +/- 43.2; hCG +/- Tx: 204.7 +/- 10.7 ng/100 ml). 17OHP rose with hCG alone, but not with hCG + Tx in both groups. E, SHBG and 17OHP/T ratio did not change after treatments. hCG tests: E increased 24 h following hCG administration in every test. The ratio 17OHP/T rose at 24 h in the first and second test but in the third test it did not change. These results support the role of E in the acute hCG-induced Leydig cell desensitization. However, the association of Tx does not improve T serum levels, suggesting that E might not be the unique factor involved in the mechanisms for testicular desensitization.
