Sorry to bump my old thread from last year. I figured I'm already into my next cycle, and I wanted to follow up with how this PCT ended, since I abruptly left it unfinished. Thanks for all of you who were following this last year and providing commentary. I apologize for not finishing it; I had quite a bit of life happen towards the end of this PCT and I didn't find the time to post an update.
I finished this PCT holding onto about 95% of my strength gains and 100% of size. After about 6 months from my last pin, I was still about 90% strength retention and about 60% of mass gains. I felt pretty happy about that result. As a reminder, this cycle was Test and NPP.
As you can see by this post, I did PCT by the book. There was a week in the PCT where I felt very insecure, depressed, and emotional; almost PMS symptoms we get to witness once a month from our significant others. coincidentally enough it only lasted a week for me. I researched WTF was going on, and it appears that Clomid can cause PMS and menopausal symptoms in its users. Well go figure. Armed with that, I was able to remind myself that its hormonal and medication induced symptoms that are making me feel this way, so I was able to rationalize my way out of those feelings. After a week of that, I didn't really notice anymore of the anxiety/emotional/depression. I'd say that I did have some libido issues throughout and even after about 4-6 weeks AFTER the PCT, but it recovered. It was more lack of desire, I could still get an erection, but I could careless about using it. lol

Currently, I'm about to finish week 4 of my current cycle, which I will make a separate post on if the group is interested.
