Thanks for that. I'd already made up my mind not to go too heavy or over complicated for my first cycle. It's good to know that at least two of you agree with me on that front.

I did consider hcg but decided against it at this stage. I'd rather use as few 'extras' as I can get away with. I think this probably means that I'll also only use the arimidex if I need to.

One advantage I do have is that any hair I've got left I shave off, I've never had acne and my boys have served me well over the years and won't really be missed if they disappear for a few months.

My cycle length and dosage will depend on how long it takes to receive my goodies. Lower dose, longer cycle and vice versa up to a max per week. One question I do have and which I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere is what happens if I take a two week (holiday) break during the cycle? Is that or should that be the end of the cycle or do I just frontload two weeks worth to cover the gap? Help with that would be appreciated.

Thanks again for all the advice.
