how many of you use hcg ...periodically during a long cycle...?

cal · Mar 31, 2005

i have done a few long cycles, and my nuts have really atrophied and sex drive has gotten really low, especially with long term use of tren...

i had a pro bber recommend the use of hcg at 2000iu eod for 2 weeks in order to jump start my nat. test level...

i forgot to ask him how often to do this during a long cycle...

anyone do anything like this, and if so, dose, length and how periodically...
do you do it, ie...every 2 months or whatever...?

I told you a LONG time ago this is what you need.
Give it a try bro and see how it works for you....

i follow SWALE's protocol and use HCG at 250iu 2x a week starting week 3 and do that throughout .. but my cycles are usually between 12-20 weeks so they aren't super long

Raj,

Yes I remember your advice. Now do you agree with that hcg protocol? Its a pretty high dose of HCG, and do you do it say every 8 weeks or throughout the cycle? I'm concerned about overusing it and desentiziing the leydig cells,...or do you just do it when your nuts have shrunk noticeably...?

That's what I do, but I do 500 iu EOD for 2 weeks.

Also, I use Nolva during the HCG use to prevent the Estrogen bounceback from a suddenly super-elevated Test level as a result of the HCG.

500 iu works for me, are you sure you were told to hit 2000 iu EOD?

rAJ, is that right? Sounds high to me...

PS - Sorry for all the smileys, just in that kinda mood today!

I dont know the 'best'way But what I do
is Just use ut at 1000iu ed for 4-5 days and they seem to swell rite back up.
It doesnt take much or long.

Id say I use it maybe 2-3 times a year like that just as needed.

sounds like there is a very large range in hcg dosing...

but i will try to use smaller amounts, im a little paranoid about the possiblity of desentising leydig cells...etc...

1000 eod for two weeks sounds reasonable from what ive read...

Coopies right on

Coopie and i had this conversation once... theres also a thread on here somewhere by one of the mods I think its in the articles.. about using like 250iu eod every 2 weeks or something like that...I agree w/ every 8 weeks and 500iu eod for 2 weeks.. worked for me ... so far..

I use 500 IU ed for 10 days with 4 weeks between each hcg cycle while I'm on, seems to work nice, by doing it this way you wont destroy your natural LH production.
