Couldn't Get PCT On Plane--5 Day Break Crippling For Gains?

[envirocopy511]

I could not get my PCT on the plane with me because airlines have recently banned liquids in carry-on bags. I would've been fine had I packed it in my checked bags, as I did on a previous trip, but didn't this time because I simply forgot.

Now my parents have to ship my pct to me, which could take about five days with the long weekend.

I'm two weeks in, and have been using 40mg/day of nolva and 50mg/day of clomid.

Am I basically ****ed because of this 5-day period sans PCT? The thought of losing my gains because of this horse**** airline policy gets me so ****ing pissed off I almost want to cry. Can anyone give me a little validation or reassurance that I can keep my gains with this kinda hurdle to overcome? Or is it just some ****ed up, unlucky thing that'll cost me a lot of my hard work?

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks guys.

First step is to breathe, really. If your diet is dialed-in to a 'T' and your training remains consistent you aren't going to lose the gains from an entire cycle in five days (though I agree about Airlines being douchebags, I will be in a similar situation shortly). What compounds did you run, i.e., how supressed were/are you?

 

[envirocopy511]

Test E @ 500mg/week for 1-12 weeks

Dianabol @ 30mg/day for weeks 1-4

I'm not badly supressed. I can get an erection rather easily, and my testicles are just about at their normal size. However, I have lost about 5lbs over the last two weeks, and really dread losing anything more.

I don't think you should be in too much danger; two weeks should have been enough time for your FSH/LH levels to rebound somewhat, at least enough time to go without for five days.

On a related note, that kind of dread is what causes many individuals to never come off. They do not necessarily become addicted to steroids, just fearfully dread they will not be what they once were when they came off. A certain amount of glycogen/water is going to be lost when one uses to highly aromatizable compounds like Test E and D-Bol, that is unavoidable. However, 90% of the muscle one gains can easily be retained with a continuation of an 'in the zone' diet.

Right on Mullet, thanks a lot for taking the time. I was really upset and worked up about the whole thing, so much so I could hardly sleep last night. And I know exactly what you're talking about with regard to people who never want to come off. I felt like an armored tank by week 12, and when I saw the water weight come off in the weeks after, man, I just got so discouraged. My sense of identity kinda began to stem from how I looked on cycle. I pretty much look the same now, but when you see the weight come off, even if it is just water, it really messes with your mind. Especially when you're taking clomid.

Thanks again. Feel free to add anything else.

Also the half-lives of Nolva and Clomid are pretty long... I believe about 5 days for each. So after two weeks of P.C.T., there will still be quite a bit of each drug in your system, even after a 4-day break. In all likelihood, you continued to recover even over those 4 days. I wouldn't worry too much.

Bingo, 5-7 day half life each., if you whip up a spreadsheet with 2 weeks of dosing building up daily the blood levels of PCT drugs gets to be extremely high...almost to the point that makes you wonder what the hell people are doing taking daily clomid doses of 100-150mcg...

Weekly dosing of these things would probably work fine...but thats for another thread...
