First cycle PCT question

[MuscleTsunami]

So I've been lurking on this board for around a year now and went through with my first cycle 500mg test enan pw for 10 weeks and HCG throughout the cycle at 500iu every 5 days (swale). I shot up from 171lbs to 204 and put 50+ lbs on my bench, squat, and deadlift. 10 days after my last test injection and 6 days after my last HCG injection, I started taking Nolvadex and frontloaded 80mg the first day, 60mg the second, and I'm now continuing on with the 40,40,20,20 plan.

I'm on my second week of Nolvadex. My diet is great and I'm eating more than I was on cycle. I'm on Bill Stars 5X5 program and MY STRENGTH IS STILL INCREASING. I have lost 1 lb so far.

Question 1: 1 week into Nolva therapy and I've lost 1lb. Since the test enan is officially out of my system (it's been 17 days) will I loose more?

Question 2: AFTER the final week of Nolvadex am I totally out of the woods and is it safe to increase the volume of my workouts again (I decreased volume and increased weight/intensity for PCT)?

I realize this was rediculously long but I really appreciate the help

The nolvadex is pointless so I don't think it'll make any difference one way or the other.

Thanks but I've been under the impression that it'll help restore hpta production of lh and keep estrogen levels down while my endocrine system stabilizes. If I don't need Nolvadex then I'm outta the woods and I should just ditch it? Thanks for the quick response btw

It's good that you did the hcg. You should be taking a natty test booster with the Nolva like Sustain Alpha, Unleashed, and Arimidex which I read (Muscular Development) is good in pct as well. Or just buy the whole Test Recovery Stack from Primordial Performance which everyone seems to talk positive about. That's what my pct is in about 3 weeks.

Thanks a million I'll order some pronto! Should I expect to loose more of my gains though?

More than likely yes you will loose some more or your gains especially water weight.

how do you figure? it supresses estrogen that is elevated from the test...

That's what many people think, it's kind of confusion and someone correct me if I'm wrong but Nolva actually increases estrogen some way or another. I remember a thread about this in the anabolics forum try searching for it. No an AI definately suppresses estrogen.
