      Nolva/Clomid vs. HCG on cycle

      Why is it that it is ok to run HCG on cycle and not Nolva or Clomid. I understand that all 3 are different substances but they all send signals to the testes to start working again. When I first came to BOP I mentioned I was taking Nolva and Clomid everyday to keep the boys swimming, like HCG is used for. I got a decent amount of negative reviews from members saying how this may prevent some gains and is not the way to go. But all 3 substances tell the body to get the testes working. Please do not tell me how they are all different based off of what they do aside from getting your balls working again, because that is what I am wondering. Why you can take one to get your balls turning on during cycle, and not the others.

      Nolva and clomid are serms used during pct to help stimulate lh production. Lh production will not start until testosterone levels hit below baseline numbers. HCG mimics lh production forcing the ledig cells in the testies to function.

      hcg all the way on cycle. Save your clomid/nolva for pct. Besides what kubes said all your body becomes accustomed to all substances you put in it, you want the full effect of the serms when you come off.

      I'll try to say this in a way that makes sense lol. When you introduce exogenous test, your body obviously stops producing it's own. It does this by signaling the pituitary gland to stop producing LH (leutinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone). LH signals the leydig cells in your testicles to produce testosterone. (i'm sure this is nothing new to you). What clomid/nolva will do is act on the pituitary itself and try to signal it to produce LH and FSH again so your testes will make testosterone. But at the same time, your pituitary is getting a "STOP" signal from the exogenous hormones. So now your pituitary is getting mixed signals which is never ideal.

      Now with HCG you bypass the pituitary gland completely and just directly signal the testes to produce test. As we know HCG mimics LH, so regardless of the pituitary being shut down, the HCG will still be effective at keeping the testes working.

      ***edit: to address the "losing gains" subject, it has been shown that nolvadex has a negative impact on IGF-1 levels. This can sometimes be a substantial drop in natural IGF-1 levels (temporarily). This is believed to hinder gains. However, androgen use itself has a substantial increasing effect on IGF-1 levels, so I would assume it would cancel out any drop the nolva would cause.

      Good post brother and if you add in hmg it mimics fsh maintaining more testicular function while cycling
