Running an AI/HCG on cycle?

[koi]

Should you take an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) as a matter of course, or only if you start to feel the signs of gyno?

A lot of my friends have mentioned that they only take it if they start to feel gyno, they prefer not to take an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) unless really needed.

I'm currently on week 3 of a 10 week 500mg/week test e. cycle. I haven't taken any ai's yet on the cycle and i'm not feeling any signs.

I've also read about taking HCG through the cycle (500iu/week) to keep my balls from shrinking and shutting down.

I'm guessing if I run the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), I should definitely run the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) due to estrogen spikes from the HCG?

A few of my friends have advised to stick to the old way of taking the HCG in large doses at the end of the cycle and before PCT.

Any advise is appreciated.

My advice is use an AI.An Aromatase inhibitor (AI) can help with any estrogen sides and will help prevent gyno,however once you have gyno,an aromatise inhibiter will not reverse gyno,it will only slow its process.Letro is the only thing that MAY reverse gyno besides going under the knife.So run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) to be safe than sorry.

As for hcg,its 'aromatise' once again in the picture,not an estrogen spike.Like you said hcg is good form 2nd to 3rd wekk @ 250iu 2x/week tilll the start of post cycle therapy (pct) Or you can run it at a higher dose ED during post cycle therapy (pct) instead.But hcg i prefer it during cycle to keep the young fellas to size,save the clomid and nolva for post cycle therapy (pct).

I dont want to get into the debate about wether to use an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) or not as a preventive measure.

Saying that an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) will not reverse gyno is kind of a misconception. Arimadex has been shown clinically to reverse gyno on hypo males in cases where Nolva did not work.

i thought it was fine to wait until you see signs of gyno and then use adex. as long as youre not waiting until you have huge boobs then adex should take care of it. thats what im hoping anyway, im not gonna think about adex until if my nips are sensitive etc.

Depends on how much test you are running and what rate your test converts/aromatizes to estrogen. To be safe take a low dose of Aromatase inhibitor (AI) weekly. You can always titrate up or down. Better to be safe than sorry. The best thing for gyno would be letrozole. Arimidex will prevent symptoms but not eliminate gyno. Aromasin is good too. Stay away from SERMS. Those are old school and arcane.

I think its all personal preference and if you have gyno problems. I like to use an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), I go with exemestane, definitely my favorite.

I have never heard of nolva reversing gyno,this is many years ago?.Not saying that it can not reverse gyno,but from many of peoples exp,many articles i have read,letro is the only Aromatase inhibitor (AI) that can kill gyno

keep in mind im not suggesting anyone use nolva to reverse gyno. there are many studies showing that it works on gyno attained from puberty. You are correct in saying its old school cause it is. i just wanted to point out that an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) can reverse gyno but obviously letro is the best for that purpose. if gyno was minor though it might be worthwhile to try something less potent, or to run smaller doses of letro.

There are a few studies showing that adex reverses gyno in hypo males, just wanted to point out that all AI's do the same thing just to a different degree. If someone got some really small lumps, adex or aromasin could be used to reverse them, in most cases.
