I have been on 100mg of T-Cyp for a long time and want to reverse the shrinkage. My Dr. started me on 1000iu HCG 3 X a week. I have been on it for 3 weeks. Has anyone used HCG to restore size , and if so, how long before you saw a change? Thanks All.
That’s quite the hefty dose. I used to run 1000iu per week when I started TRT. Never made me feel good. I stopped and honestly don’t really notice much atrophy over the past couple years. I don’t see anybody with your goals running much more than I did.
Edit. I divided my dose 2x per week. And I’m no expert on HCG to clarify.
I use 1,000iu/w on TRT and it’s more than enough to get the job done. The dose you’re taking seems way too high. That being said, you should see results pretty quickly. Three weeks should have been enough to notice some changes. But by week four you should be good.
If so, how long did it take to start working? Also, what are the signs or what did you feel so you knew it was starting to work? Been on 1000 3 X a week for 4 weeks and feel nothing yet. Thanks.
I never felt anything. I’ve used it all along on my trt, so it’s just sort of in the background. I don’t get atrophy or thickening of semen, I just function normally. If you’ve been on for four weeks and nothing has changed I would question the legitimacy of the product. That is enough time to see improvement.
I was on prop cycle for 16 months - 300 per week and used HCG only once during this period, and I can tell You that it’s not overrated my balls went really small : )
Answering the question when I finally hit HCG after those 16 months I didn’t feel anything mentally but my balls started to grow immediately, now I have a small issue with hormones after this great cycle but the size of my balls is back
I started on 500iu 3x per week as directed. I found it was causing high E and the thickening of the semen thing bugged me out. I experimented with lower and lower does and found that 150-200IU 3x per week is my sweet spot. Keeps the boys full, semen is normal and E-levels stay in range. I would imagine everyone reacts differently - that is just what works for me.
I believe you, we do all react differently. My boys have never noticeably atrophied. Not on TRT and not on cycle. I’ve had kids and a vasectomy though so I could care not if they did.
