Looking for some advice on the use of chronic gonadotropin. I have been getting conflicting info from the people who prescribed it, they all seem to have a different answer. Trying to get everything in order before I start my cycle so here goes.
Was told to take 1cc of test cyp/prop every 4 days for 10 weeks and 50ui of the gonadotropin every week during and after my cycle by one guy. The next said I did not need it at all. the 3rd guy told me to take it after my cycle.
any thoughts?
I guess that anyone who has not had their balls fall off will believe that what they did and advocate is fine.
So there is a lot of variation out there and until lately there has not been any researched based guidance.
In 2005 a paper was published where they shut guys down with 200mg/wk of test cyp/wk and then found that 250iu SQ EOD of HCG maintained baseline intratesticular testosterone levels. So that dose will keep your testes working near baseline while on gear. Many docs with guys on TRT have prescribed 250iu SQ twice a week, but that practice predates the above research. So that is the best that we have. If you have doubts about that working for you, could have T levels inside your testes measured with fine needle aspiration to find out. ;{
Some have argued that there is no need to shut down the testes at all and to use HCG all through the cycle and through the washout and part way into the SERM of PCT. Many only use HCG at the end of their cycle as part of PCT.
You will find posts where huge amounts of HCG are injected. That is wasteful and a bad idea. High dose can cause the testes to down regulate the LH receptors and that would be a major step in the wrong PCT direction.
HCG, in effective doses will shut down LH release. So you can’t recover while you are on it. So ok at the end of a cycle as part of PCT but never past or end phase of PCT.
50iu/wk will probably be totally ineffective.

Thank you for the info. Seems there is no cut and dry answer as to dosage per week and when during your cycle to start hcg. I guess i need to do a little more research or read feedback from people who have experience using hrt. Much appreciated.
May I suggest that HCG is most usefull to you when useing higly androgenic steroids such as Anadrol, Sustanon, Dianabol ect. I have seen many cycles were it is suggested to use HCG under these circumstances in order to ease the suppression and prevent atrophy. At least thats my understanding of it from the reserach I have done (and am still doing).
