If you want to add Tamoxifene and/or hCG do it during this period. Research studies indicate that there is virtually no suppression of the HPTA at doses around 25mg/week. Easing yourself down towards this dose allows your body to play catch-up without depriving it of the necessary hormones. Clomiphene, Tamoxifene and hCG will all cause natural production to surge as well and can allow higher effective doses of testosterone without suppression. Of course, this occurs with the cost of associated side effects. The two most common methods of reintroducing endogenous production of intratesticular testosterone for fertility purposes use Clomiphene or hCG, introduced at around six (6) weeks after the cessation of androgen therapy.

My personal preference would be to do a four (4) week stasis, followed by six (6) weeks of reducing testosterone and introducing hCG at 1000IU three (3) x week for three (3) weeks starting in the last week of testosterone and extending for two (2) weeks after ceasing the androgen. This should bring you online painlessly and with the least amount of unwanted side effects. Don't use the hCG until your exogenous test dose is very low, otherwise you are simply reintroducing a highly anabolic environment with artificially inflated testosterone levels.

Can you continue to post your experiences with the taper for others, particularly emotion/physical changes or lack thereof.

Thanks much and good luck,
Fraggle
Fraggle thanks bro,And yes I will keep my sust log active or just start a new one if the boys are interested.Would you mind taking the above info and relisting it like this ;
weeks 1-12 325 sust every 4th day
weeks 12-16....
weeks 16-20.....
I have 1000 mgs sust on hold for this taper.At this point I still feel bullet proof,and still gaining size and strength,sex drive is above average for me but not crazy high like at first of cycle.The past 2-3 weeks I have become a tad more emotional.I broke my personal best ever bench press last sunday..that felt awesome.I am hoping that using the taper I lose no weight or strength..we will see.
