Topic starter 08/04/2026 10:26 am
I decided to hop on for a cycle this year for the first time.
I started with Anavar + PCT alongside such as TUDCA + NAC + MILK THISTLE+ OMEGA 3 + VIT D
However I only did this at 20mg for two weeks, then I dropped to 10mg for a week then I tapered off completely. The side effects GI/Acid Reflux were just too much for me to handle. Not unexpected as I don't respond to tablets well sometimes.
Gave it a few weeks (still taking PCT) and decided to try the next step up that want oral. I've purchased test cyp and am administering 200mg a week in two pins.
I have my second pin tomorrow, not sure if it's placebo or not but from the first 100mg my recovery has been night and day. No more days of DOMs...24-48 hours recovery for a muscle group after a hard session.
I want to ask about PCT, so far I've been doing my own research and have a general idea of what I should be taking? Can some experienced users please advise if I need to make any changes to this:
HCG during last 3 weeks of cycle delivered to abdomen/love handles to keep the boys healthy. 250 IU twice a week alternating sides for PIP.
14 days after last test cyp pin start on Clomid and Nolvadex.
Weeks 1–2: Clomid 50mg/day + Nolvadex 20mg/day
Weeks 3–4: Clomid 25mg/day + Nolvadex 10mg/day
Please let me know if this is excessive PCT for 200mg a week over 8 weeks. I may ramp up to 250/300 2/3 weeks in if side effects aren't visible.
I have no issue with getting blood tests as well to determine if I need to use PCT. Please recommend a company that will send a home kit to test for everything health related on steroids.
Thanks very much!

Testosterone Cypionate: This is a long-ester compound; while recovery may feel faster, the hormonal "peak" and steady-state levels usually take several weeks to stabilize, making early shifts in dosage difficult to assess accurately.
-
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin): Many use this during a cycle to maintain testicular function (mimicking LH), making the transition to PCT smoother rather than starting it only at the very end.
-
PCT Timing: Because of the long half-life of Test Cyp, beginning PCT 14 days after the last pin is a standard window to allow the exogenous hormones to clear the system.
-
Safety: The GI issues you experienced with orals highlight the importance of monitoring organ stress. Given your sensitivity, continuing with liver and lipid support (NAC, TUDCA) is a common precautionary measure.

Looks like you’ve done your homework. For 200mg/week over 8 weeks, your PCT might be a bit heavy especially since that dose isn’t far off TRT levels.
HCG at the end is common, and your Clomid/Nolva setup is standard, but best move is to let bloods guide whether you actually need all of it. Keep the dose consistent and don’t rely on how you feel alone.
