Questions Regarding First Cycle

[Eggs999Bacon]

Earlier I had asked about HCG, but I have some more questions.

Stats:

22 years old
Lifting for 7 years
Diet is strict.
5'7 - 175lbs.

This is my first cycle ever:
Plan on running Test E 2 days a week (500mg total)

PCT: Nolvadex 2 weeks after last injection.

Questions:
Will Nolvadex alone be enough to maintain gains?

Will Nolvadex alone be enough to prevent gyno?

Will hairloss be an issue with just Test E at that dose (500mg/wk)?

Will I experience loss in libido with just a run of Test E/ Nolvadex?

Finally, I am hearing about running Nolva during my 12 weeks of Test E and then others are saying wait until 2 weeks after the last dose of Test E.. so your thoughts on that much appreciated.

nolvadex will be fine for pct.. 2weeks after last inj like you have stated.. always have an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on hand for estrogen sides.. wether you run it during cycle is up to you but dont start without it... AI's aromasin/arimidex/aifm/letro... aromasin is the best choice but i keep letro on hand always.. havent had to use it yet but it feels good knowing its there.. and dont just rely on nolvadex thinking youll keep all your gains.. what you do in the gym (and diet) post cycle plays the biggest role in sustaining your gains..

thanks pickle, and yes I know that diet and training are crucial for keeping gains which is no problem since i love the gym.

keep that attitude up during PCT-you will need a good one

Since many keep Ai's such as Aromasin on hand to combat estro-related sides, why do others use it through out their cycle? Isn't the estrogen beneficial so long as the there are no estrogen related sides?

they use it to minimize bloat and prevent gyno from ever having a chance
