First Cycle woohoo!
About to start my first cycle (300 Test E, 4IU GH, 250 IU HCG twice a week), plan on running this for roughly 20 weeks, but continuing the HGH for a while longer. Super excited obviously and can't wait for it to get here. I know it's not much of a cycle at all lol, but I wanted to test the waters with something lighter. Just sent in my pre-cycle bloodwork so I'm just waiting on the shipment to come in then we're good to go. My big concern however is just about gyno, which I had during puberty, but with a doctors help was able to get rid of it later on. It was a crazy insecurity for a while and would lose my mind if it came back badly again, so I was looking into raloxifene or tamoxifen in case symptoms arise, so I'm looking for guidance on either of those. I obviously have an AI (aromisin) on standby, but I'm not trying to blindly take it and crash E2 until bloods get back which I plan on taking again around week 5-6 then again roughly week 14 unless I get any other symptoms. Any tips on which serm and how exactly I should use it if symptoms come up before bloodwork comes back? Like should I just take a certain mg daily till bloods confirm high E2 and which one do you prefer? Here's my current list on ancillaries as well which is prob overkill, but I'd rather be safe than sorry: .5mg of reta weekly for insulin sensitivity, glow blend for my joints, berberine 1200mg, metformin 500mg, rosuvastatin 10mg, telmisartan 40 mg tablets (so I can split if bp is taking too much of a drop), ezitimibe 10mg, dutasteride .5mg, TUDCA 500mg, and a bunch of other supplements I just have as part of my regular stack like fish oil, magnesium, zinc, etc.
EDIT:
Also to add to above, when getting mid-cycle bloods, if my E2 is above what's normal, should I take the aro daily to a certain point and then get bloodwork again a week or two later? just looking for any advice on how to dial in E2 with aromisin, thanks. All advice is great advice so feel free to tell me whatever I'm doing wrong or have the wrong idea on.

Arimidex is a little more forgiving of an AI. A little easier to use. But ya nolva will work to block estrogen at the nipple basically so good call there. You may not need any of this stuff on 300 test. Taking more stuff than needed is adding more stress on the body in my opinion. Crashing your estrogen is no fun either. It’ll take all the fun out of your cycle. That’s why I like something like adex where if you feel high estrogen symptoms(weird nips,feeling like crying, all that good stuff) you can take 1mg and see how that works. I hope this helps a little. Hopefully some of the smart guys will chime in for you and help you out. Just know you are over thinking it and it gets easier lol been there tho
Thanks for the reply, I may end up ordering arimidex because I'm not too sure on how to go about managing my own estrogen yet but I heard aromisin was a bit easier to use, but less forgiving as well. Definitely not wanting to crash estrogen, just worried about the nips for the most part lmao
