Does HCG Inhibit at Any Dose?

I have some data i need to find and am not sure where to go… i will ask here and see if you lot can help at all.

I want to know, does HCG inhibit at any dose - just by nature of its prescence… Or is it due to elevated Test/Est levels?

If the latter, what dose will ensure stimulation, but little to no suppression??

Also - does anyone know what dose leads to what blood Test level?

ie, 5000iu gives around 25nmol/L or the equivalent of 150mg Test Cyp per week.

Anyone help on this? Links, answers, views?

Ta!

2500iu-500iu will stimulate the testes but not suppress the HPTA?

This is what I have read also.

Too much will desensitize the Leydig cells.

I have heard this as well. Over 500IU long term will most likely cause densitization.

but 250iu dosed at 3x a week for steady ish levels, will not suppress…? Interesting.

Thanks guys! Looks like i have some reading to do…

I have a seen it used on a friend at 100iu eod throughout cycle and he had a quick recovery of nolva only. Not much muscle lost. I guess everyone is a little different, but 100iu-500iu would seem to be optimal.

I am currently shooting 50iu ed and have so far noticed 0 testicular atrophy running just over a gram a week total gear. I am in week 8 of 10 and will not have a clear decision until I am through with PCT and see how well I recover. I plan on stopping my HCG use going into the stasis period.

THIS IS GREAT LADS! thanks! i am definitely going to be running it next cycle, i have used it before post cycle, but while i felt alot from it at 1500iu, it didnt help recovery much after it wore off…

and JESUS that is a good avatar devil!

I will be using 250IU E3D throughout my cycle to keep the balls’ clock ticking. This combined with the stasis taper + SERM is gonna hopefully kick some ass in terms of muscle retention.

JJ, I know you mentioned somewhere (I’m too lazy to look it up) that you don’t see why someone wouldn’t be able to take a SERM during the stasis. What are the benefits of it during the stasis that you were theoretically thinking of?

EDIT: I found the thread I was referring to that you posted your concerns about taking a serm during a stasis on the first one I randomly clicked after typing this! haha

Another question I have after having reviewed your post over there is why would you use the HCG throughout the stasis and until the taper is almost over?

To keep the balls moving, it is just a thought mind you.

The thing is - i retain 98%(exactly 98.45%) of my gains post cycle.

But my libido dies… weird.

The SERM is in relation to Prisoners post on the “Test Taper Protocol” - there it is mentioned that a serm with 100mg test causes no suppression.

I would like to see that paper if possible, as i would like to know if the tests were on a fully functioning HPTA or on an already suppressed one (as in our case)

Like proviron, is isnt suppressive in dosages of 100mg (i now have read) - BUT it MAY BE for a HPTA that is already suppressed…

Thinker lads, its a thinker!

Would you see any harm in doing Nolva throughout a stasis and taper? Dose protocols? Would the standard 20mg suffice or would a different dose be needed during different stages?

Thants what i am saying, i believe nolva at 20mg (should be fine) should be run through the stasis and taper.

I would like to hear prisoners thoughts on this though…

And that’s what you said, twice might I add. :slight_smile: I bought enough Nolva so that I would be able to do this if I wanted to. Sent you a PM. :slight_smile:

IMO, it would make sense to run it until the body has recovered. I would think it would be OK until the last portion of the taper if you are trying to maintain full testicular function, but I could be looking at this the wrong way.

The only reason I would include the nolva in the stasis if if you had gyno symptoms. I think it would become beneificial at the point that the body is starting to take over, which, in my understanding, is right after the taper has started.

No.

SERMS also stimulate the HPTA, plus the addition of a SERM to dosages from 25-100mg causes zero suppression at all… (how many times?:wink: )

There is more to using a SERM than gyno prevention, hence why whole PCT protocols are built on them.

I think you misread me.

I was referring to the stasis period only. Personally, I strongly recommend a SERM for the reasons you stated.

no i didnt, i am on about using a serm in the stasis period too - most already do use one in the taper.

I mean in the stasis for the reasons given above.

No i know, but i read the thread differently is all… it makes sense to me, no-one else has to do it! :wink:
