What's Correct with HCG: On Cycle? Before/During PCT?

Pharma / TRT

Are you sure it is 50 iu? Seems really low. Maybe 500 iu?

HCG monotherapy for hypogonadism is usually in the 1500 iu a week range.

I would do like 500 iu once if they really hurt, then do like 200 iu EOD.

42

Iā€™m probably not quoting the math right. The HCG comes as 5000 iu
Iā€™ve always mixed it 5ml bac water per vial
My assumption is 1ml = 1000 iu so
50 units/ .5ml = 500
So when I say 50 Iā€™m just referring to the slin pin but I think yes I took 500

43

Maybe do 500 ED, until it doesnā€™t hurt, then taper to 200 EOD. Do you have much that aromatizes in your stack? If so be careful for estrogen.

I know about HCG, but you probably have much more experience with AAS.

44

No my stack is test prop EOD 100mg, tren ace 50 EDā€¦& winny 50mg daily I havenā€™t had any estrogen sidesā€¦I take .25 anastrozle 2x week for E & cabergoline .25 2x per week for prolactin

The Tren or winny doesnā€™t aromotizeā€¦but the Tren shuts me down hardā€¦ hence thinking about giving it a break till the HCG returns nuts back to non painfulā€¦ then just dose it at 500 2x week
Thatā€™s what worked last time I did this cycleā€¦ just never ran out of HCG b4 so itā€™s a weird speed bumpā€¦donā€™t want nut pain for 6 weeks :astonished:

45

The 350 test a week is the only thing that aromatizes, and you are taking .5 mg adex a week. You should do fine with HCG.

46

But should I wait till nut pain stops to juice up again or G2G just keep the HCG flowing?

47

I think this is where experience comes in. Iā€™ve never taken tren or winny. I find AAS fascinating, and have tried to learn as much as I can, but your experience here trumpā€™s my book smarts.

48

Gotcha Iā€™ll play it safe & not hit the NOS till the boys are pain freeā€¦better safe than sorryā€¦ thanks :wink:

How did it go using HCG on cycle? Did it help recovery? Any estrogen sides?

50

I have used it since week 2 to 12

Total 4500 iu

I have used arimidex as well so didnā€™t have any particular side effects

Currently in week 2 of pct and so far so good

I just very recently started to feel like pre cycle slowly (so the effect of exegenous testesterone is diminishing). Strength a little bit decreased and libido is decreasing (Returning to pre cycle levels)

Also since Ramadan has started after my cycle ended, my workout volume and eating habit changed. I am fasting around 16 hours a day. Not even water. So I am working out and eating a lot lesser
