Currently day 7 into PCT running 50mg Clomid/12.5mg Aromasin.. started PCT 10 days post injection rather than 14 days and was using Test Enanthate, originally at 625mg per week and then tapered down to 125mg E5D for a month as an experiment to see what how tapering works for me, bear in mind I was against tapering until now and don't think I will never not taper off a cycle again. So far so good, I feel allright and sex drive is still there, obviously not what it was like while still on.
The reasoning for the taper obviously was to let my body come back down to homoeostasis slowly instead of such a rapid shock which I experienced on my first cycle, going from supraphysiological levels to 0. I only used clomid during PCT which by the end of the I had slight gyno and felt real shit, depressed, emotional and didn't feel I recovered all that well however pre-steroids my levels were just under 400ng/dl and I was always borderline symptoms of low test and in reality I felt the same and probably did recover, but to my naturally lowish levels again. TRT may be on the cards for me if I recover to pre-cycle levels or lower.
The reason for starting clomid at day 10 instead of day 14 is because I was at a TRT dose of 125mg E5D for a month, my levels wouldn't have been supraphysiological , high yes and maybe just over the top of the range, but the thing with clomid is that come day 7 or so my levels would be dropping and clomid would still be effective at getting me restored. In my eyes, you don't have to wait till you're bottom of the range before you can restore rather as long as you are at what your body naturally produces or around it clomid will still stimulate LH/FSH. It's only a few days head start, but I believe it helped.
I am also not experiencing any of the grief in my last PCT which was my goal and mass has not dropped much like the previous cycle even though my diet has gone out the window this week.
