HCG Question

jax26 · Jun 16, 2003

Im just began a 10 week test prop/tren cycle. I have HCG on hand but am not clear on if I should use it during the cycle or after. I have clomid and clen for post cycle so Im thinking the HCG should be used during the cycle to prevent testicular atrophy but Im looking for some others bros opinions on this. And yes I have read all the recovery articles in the articles forum

I would say post cycle, but im not sure when you would start with those 2 substance, I know u start longest out with sustanon what i just injecte it today for, which is 3 weeks after last shot, im guessing a week or so for fina/prop u might wanna take your first show.

What do you recommend as the dose? I have heard so many varying viewpoints on HCG and dosing it almost makes me wish I never bought the stuff.

NEVER use HCG post cycle. It acts on your HPTA like AAS does and will keep you shut down. If you must use it, use it the week before the last in your cycle.

I use it right after the last shot 3300iu spaced apart every 3 days.
Then follow with clomid, which will hopefully prevent any estro related problems with the HPTA, and some hypothesize that this will actually stimulate the release of FSH and LH. I dont believe that happens, and that the effect is mostly directly from blocking estrogen receptors in the HPTA.

Also instead of using HCG during cycle I use 50mg clomid EOD which no doubt reduces ball shrinkage due to its effect on the estro receptors in the HPTA. Raised estrogen levels (from aromatization) IMO are more destructive to HPTA maintaince than increased test levels.
