+ 1 Is PCT or AI's necessary Duiring Testostyerone Replacement Therapy?

ad

I have been taking Sustanon 250mg/ml at 1ml per week for 3 weeks now and I am very happy with the results so far.I hear alot about people talking anti-estrogens and PCT gear and I am wondering if any of these are necessary when taking low doses (250mg or less per week) of testosterone continually with no breaks.Should I be using an anti estrogen at some point or maybe on an as needed basis.I do not plan to stop the testosterone replacement at any time during my life and I am currently 47 yrs old.

trt isnt something you should rush into, by your lack of knowledge on the subject i would say you havnt done much research on the topic. what blood work have you had done and what has your doctor said on the matter? give some more details please! Smile

yup cruising and blasting is what its called. when you do a test dose to have normal test levels its your cruise, when you blast its like being on cycle regular guys. I am TRT also

you would be best served by posting in the over 40 trt/hrt section to get the education you need. when on trt we do not PCT, PCT is for coming off and rebooting the HTPA system. AI is always a part of AAS use even on TRT. you should have an AI on hand even if you dont need it. excess testosterone that wont be taken up by the receptors will convert in to estrogen. i would suggest getting aromasin(exmestane) or arimidex(anastrozole) both these compounds are effective AI. you should have had an AI from the start, are you under the care of doctor or self administering TRT. sustanon was originally created for TRT. although i believe its now a poor choice for TRT because of the infrequent pin schedule for most on TRT, on TRT you typically pin once a week or every two weeks, and sustanon with its long, medium and short esters will give you unstable blood levels pinning at these intervals, most who run it will pin every 3 days, but not for TRT, as suggested below you should look into a single ester compound, a long ester, like test e or test e. and pin once a week or split the dose into two pins, pinning moday and thurday to stabilize blood levels.

PCT is not necessary, AI on the other hand has nothing to do with your natural production it has to do with the aromatization of the compounds you are using. Since sust has prop and phenylprop in it, you will be getting a decent amount of aromatization around the day of and after you take your weekly dose. I'm gonig to try to pull up a really good forum post on sust if I can find it I'll post it, but for what you are doing I would really urge you to stick with one ester. If you like to pin once a week you can just get some Nebido (or even straight cypionate or enan will stay pretty stable @ 1 shot/wk) I would run an AI if I were you, but its hard to decide an AI dose when every day of the week you have different levels of aromatization... do you follow?
