Just a general questions what do you guys prefer for a pct?
For me it depends on the type of cycle I had. Both are highly effective and have stood up to the test of time. Both have their attributes and cons. Generally speaking, most users claim Clomid to have an edge when it comes to HPTA restart, and LH and FSH production. However, there are studies that seem to show Nolva is very nearly just as effective in that area. Nolva is generally considered the better option for prevention of gyno as there are claims that it selectively targets receptors more in the breast tissues. Both carry some degree of toxicity but not to a large degree. A common touted side effect of Clomid is feeling highly emotional. Usually this stem from a high dose of 100 mg or more.Just a general questions what do you guys prefer for a pct?

I've used them both and blood work came back similar.. But my preference (if I did PCT ) is clomid.. Not a huge nolva fan, although it is effective its also linked to things such as lymphoma.. Which my mum died of... Hence I stay well away from it. Pre, mid, and post cycle bloods determine where estrogen is at and I always have some on hand invade of gyno.. Although I'm more inclined to use letro
Good call on monitoring blood work. I do the same. I prefer Aromasin as my AI of choice but I keep some Letro on hand in case of a gyno flare.
Yea I like aromasin.. Just a little trickier to dial in as a ai then say adex.. But just as effective. Blood work in NZ is easy.. U can even get it at a walk in clinic lol..
I don't bro..when I did PCT (I cruise now) I did hcg prior and clomid for PCT by itself. A ai in PCT is unnecessary
I got told it prevents estrogen rebound?
It does.
But blood work is always better than guessing of course.
Also it may depend on what you ran if an AI is absolutely needed or if the tapering of the SERM is enough.

1-Andro and Epi-Andro. Both dry, non aromatizing compounds but that's why estrogen might be a issue post cycle/post PCT because of being suppressed for so long.
Especially the Epiandro might pose a problem in that regard.
How are doses and duration you plan.
If it would be Epistane for example I would definitely advise to using an AI. If its Dimethandrostenol also. For Halodrol I wouldn't So for Mechabol.
The Epiandro converting to DHT may bind some Estrogenreceptors and antagonize them wich is essentially what Epistane seems to do. Then again Epiandro does not solely convert to DHT so the effect may not be that pronounced.
I would start the exemestane when two weeks of the chlomi are left. That way you won't have the high estrogen levels the moment you stop taking the antagonist.
Here in NZ its as easy as asking ur Dr.. Or like I've stated elsewhere, u can even get it done at a walk in clinic
I'm doing 6 weeks of Clomid.
50/25/25/25/12.5/6.25. So there'd be four weeks of just Clomid, followed by 2 weeks of both Clomid and Exemestane, followed by four weeks of just Exemestane... and a test booster (AlphaMax XT)
I would go clomid 50/50/25/25 exemestane 0/0/6.25/6.25/6.25/6.25 (eod) obviously you could go 12.5mg with the exemestane, but that would be unnecessary unless estrogen is noticeably high. I definitely agree that exemestane in pct is more of a necessity following up cycles that are anti-estrogenic such as epistane, which is notorious for causing rebound gyno in users
