How Long Do You Really Take Off?

[danieltx13]

For those who aren't on all the time, how long do you really wait between cycles?Do you wait until you have bloodwork done? Do you follow time on = time off? Do you follow time on + PCT = time off?I've followed time on + PCT = time off since I started a few years ago and it's worked for me. In preparation for an upcoming cycle, I started wondering about how much of this we actually know and how much is just conjecture. For ex., say you're supposed to stay off 14 weeks before your next cycle, but you're itching to get started and go with only 12 or 13 weeks off. Do you think that 1 or 2 weeks has any measurable impact? Of course that's probably where the slippery slope of always being on comes in, but that's for another thread.

To shortly answer your question, I would say that the 1-2 weeks shouldnt matter. But I would get blood work done first and always before and after.

General rule is Time On Cycle + Time in PCT = Time Until Next Cycle. So if you are on for 12 weeks, PCT for 6 weeks, you "should" rest for 18 weeks before your next cycle. Of course this is just something people throw around. I'm not sure if it has any credibility, but I've noticed it slung around for years. If its not broke don't fix it I guess. I don't "think" a couple of weeks will make a difference provided you have blood work and followed a strong PCT with reliable SERM/AI/Natty T booster and the like. As long as you are "regular" again you are probably ok to go ahead and re-rape your HPTA again.
