Thoughts on Nolvadex as cycle AI instead of Aromasin?

ad

Stats:
34 yrs old
225lbs
12% bf
Training 15+ Years. off and on HRT for past 3 years with a few blasts. Before that did a few uneducated cycles in my early 20's.

I noticed on my last 2 runs i was getting some nasty stubborn acne on my lower back. Never before has this happened and i was taking Aromasin at that time. All my cycles and HRT in the past I never broke out and never used an AI. I think the Aromasin was causing to much up and down. I tried it every which way. 12.5 a day. 6.25 twice a day. 6.25 1x a day, 25mg every 3 days. you name it. I gave each a few weeks try.

I do not have access to Adex in my country, only Aromasin, Letro and Nolvadex. So my question is, can I just run Nolva as an AI during the cycle? And if so what dose? Thats what the old school guys did anyway right?

Current cycle:
Week 1-8 Test E 600 (powerlifting/bulk phase)

Week 8-16 Test E 350 (Bodybuilding/ cut phase)
Week 1-16 Primo 700

Week 17-20 HCG 1,000 ED +12.5 Aromasin/day

Week 21-25 Clomid & Nolva 100/100/100/50/50 40/20/20/20/20 Or just cruise for a few months TBD

It wont control estro mate. It will stop gyno. You need ai not serm if estro issues like acne etc good luck

Nolva as your sole AI...no way. Might be able to get by with a mast/provi combo to control estro. I wouldn't try it with higher doses of test at first but it might be something to consider starting out with if you lower the test. Can be tricky to dial doses in so be prepared for alot of bloodwork to get it figured out.

And what the hell is off and on HRT?

TY. I looked at OPs forums and was putting his cycle history together. Hopefully, he can get his lower back acne issue resolved. I doubt nolva will help him.

Why are u planning to PCT if ur HRT? Also, thats a lot of HCG for primo/test run. HCG converts to estrogen.

Do u use pharma grade Aromasin?

Nolvadex wont help u with ur acne problem. I could be wrong cuz everyone is different.

You could benefit from proviron and possibly drop the methenolone.

Yes almost everything I use is from the actual pharmacy. PCT is a maybe, sorry if that wasn't clear, I haven't decided if Im gonna stay on HRT for another year straight through. In any event I am going take a month off after this blast and use HCG to clear out the receptors. I think dropping the HCG dose a bit is a good idea... Last time I was coming off Deca/Test and used that dose.

Okay, i see...i believe u said u get bloodwork frequently...thats your best bet, along with low doses of hormones, to see whats going on with your process. Thank you for your response.

Are you seriously asking if it's okay to run nolva as AI replacement?
