HCG

[ICU11b]

I will be using twice a week @ 250/500iu. When do I administer? The day before the inj. test? Day after? When do the Drs do it TRT? Thanks.

in the end it doesn't matter too much precisely when you inject them, the most frequently used for trt I think is

1 - test injection
2
3
4
5 - hcg
6 - hcg
7

why would you pin on 5 and 6 and not 4 and 8? (Not knocking your opinion i am just looking for information). KS

 

[max_rep]

one day before every test injection

thats not my opinion but the way i've seen multiple TRT docs prescribe it. I think its partially because any earlier than that and it will have minimal effect as the body sees a lot of exogenous testosterone, and its split in two because that reduces e2, and a day is skipped before next injection because hcg raises production for longer than 24 hours

The question I have seen most is "can I just shoot it right along with my test" and the answer has always been yes. Also IM or SQ dosen't really matter. Have I gotten the wrong info?

You can take it subQ or IM. I take on Mon/Thurs, sub Q. It doesn't matter much when you take your hcg shot in relationship to when you take the test shot for the following reasons:
1. If you are taking a long ester test, like cyp, its active life is about 14 days and since it is long, it is also slow, meaning that the shot you took two days ago is not really an issue. Your levels are from the shots you took 1-2 weeks ago.
2. If your are taking a fast acting test or mix like sustanon, where you are pinning every day or two, it doesnt matter when you take the hcg, because you are always pinning anyway.

The only thing my DR. told me about timing was not to take the hcg within 15 minutes of eating. (dont know the reason for that)

I have heard about mixing the test and hcg in same pin, but have never done it. Heard that it works just fine though. I pin subQ to belly fat because of fat burning properties associated with hcg.

Good luck

Yup that's how it's done on TRT! After day 7 start over!

Swale's recommendation

one day before every test injection

Swale has come to deciding this as well.

the way that i do it is 250 IU 2x/wk i do it on saturday and wednesday and poke test e on sun/thurs. seems to work great. but in all honesty from everything ive heard it seems to not really matter, so i wouldnt fret it. just my $0.02

2 days before, and the day immeadiatly previous to injection.

Dr. Chrisler(Swale's) opinion.

In my previous report I recommended 250IU of HCG twice per week for all TRT patients, taken the day of, along with the day before, the weekly test cyp injection. After looking at countless lab printouts, listening to subjective reports from patients, and learning more about HCG, I am now shifting that regimen forward one day. In other words, my test cyp TRT patients now take their HCG at 250IU two days before, as well as the day immediately previous to, their IM shot. All administer their HCG subcutaneously, and dosage may be adjusted as necessary (I have yet to see more than 350IU per dose required).

this is no joke......my mother in law is shooting hcg......once a week for fat loss.....she also uses glutamine in addition to the hcg.......she currently takes in 500 cals a day.......she has a prescription through a local doc......and they are using her before and after pictures to see how much weight she can drop. I told her not to go so low on the cals but she is cock sure this system will work for her.

her frend has her all amped up on this diet and hcg routine......apparently this is the latest trend to hit middle America!

thanks for clearing that up...i havent heard of women using HCG for any reason ...of couse i dont do any research on women... i wonder what kind of side they could get from that?

 

[juicy j]

Google the HCG diet...people are shooting HCG to lose weight, I don't know dude, whatever i'm not getting into that.

Thanks for the article gordo, going to take my HCG before my shots rather on the day of from now on!

[Gators]

I read somewhere on here someone saying 3500 IU/WK of HCG would burn the fat off. Wonder what the sides would be to 500 IU/day?

^ gyno if you dont use an AI

HCG causes an incredibly large spike in testosterone production if you're shooting 500IU at a time and you're not fully shutdown.

 

[klowndog]

Don't overdo it

Taking too much (3500/wk) will shut you down very badly, and it will take months to recover.
