Nolvadex: Query Re. Taking it During/After Cycle

Hi,

I am on my first cycle ever. I am taking 500mg of Sustanon weekly for 12 weeks.

I have 60mg of Nolvadex. My source said to start taking one a day every day from my fourth week to my last week. Then he said I should go on HCG for PCT.

At the moment, it feels like I'd be taking Nolvadex for the sake of it. Obviously I'm new to this, so please correct me if i'm wrong! I just want to know whether its the right thing and a good idea to take it to help protect my testosterone levels after my cycle, or whether its unnecessary and will just inhibit my gains now. I'm showing no signs of gyno btw atm.

Also, is it ok to continue using Nolvadex for my PCT? I don't want to do HCG and I'm not keen on Clomid as it can affect your sight.

Please help if you can offer some good advice - thanks!
 
I don't really know where to start it looks like you havent done very much research. I think you are in trouble. If you have 60mg of nolvadex that will last you the best part of 2 to 3 days when you start pct.
HCg should never be used as PCT it is used on cycle... It sounds to me like your source doesnt know $h**..

Im going to tell you how to save yourself some trouble.... Really my best advice to you is if you just started pinning in the last week or so PUT DOWN THE NEEDLE! You should have spent months reading in this forum soaking up information before you ever thought about sticking yourself and you obviously didnt.
 
I'd kinds of start with that at 5'8 and 154 pounds i'm not sure that steroids is what you need so much as help with diet. Unless you are contest grade lean at that size, its pretty small to bother with anabolics.

Your source's advice sort of is effective, but sort of is overkill. The idea of nolva on cycle is to avoid gyno. And HCG can work as part of PCT, it is just something you have to be cautious with as it is able to suppress your natural LH if taken at high doses for extended lengths of time. So the devil is in the details with that.

Nolvadex at 60mg a day is a waste either on cycle or PCT. 10 or 20mg / day is sufficient overall whether on cycle or PCT. I'd probably just take 10mg a day if thats possible. If not, and you just have 60mg tabs, i'd cut them in half and take 1/2 every other day for 15mg/day
 
Thanks HeartBreaker - sorry if my post sounded like I'd just grabbed a needle without thinking but I have done my research. I've done plenty of research and looked at plenty of forums. I'm sure many people have had the same problem of seeing countless contradicting posts though that makes it hard to know what is right/wrong/relevant. My source has been doing the gym and steroids for 20 years and I'm confident he knows his stuff. The HCG recommendation didn't seem right for me - I've done my research to know that it can be right for some people, but not in my case.

I had decided to take Nolvadex 4 weeks into my cycle before I began and also for my PCT. I just wanted to double-check thats the right decision.

I will be buying more stuff well in advance for PCT. My source suggested either HCG (which I'd already dismissed) or Clomid, or Nolvadex.

Plenty of forum posts suggest using Nolvadex during a cycle, while others don't think its necessary. I just wanted to know if anyone has done a similar Sustanon ycle to mine and what they chose to do.

Thanks Easy,

My Nolvadex tabs are 20mg, so the idea was to take one each day after week 4 and then do PCT.

Your advice fits with what I originally had in mind: that would be doing 10mg (half a tab) during my cycle and continue for PCT.

Taking Nolvadex for 2/3 of my cycle does sound like overkill to me too. Your suggestion of doing 10mg every other day sounds more sensible as I want to avoid gyno etc and help avoid the risks, but I also don't want to inhibit my gains by being over-zealous.
 
Yeah, if this is your first cycle, its hard to say whether the nolva is at all necessary while on, but is a sort of better safe than sorry sort of thing. Its not the worst idea when doing test without an AI. Honestly in a lot of ways i'd say using nolva or torem on cycle is better than using an AI. But thats a whole separate topic :)
